A romance for real people

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2001)

I can't even begin to describe how much I love this film. Finally, a film where the main character is not a Julia Roberts or a Gweneth Paltrow, but an ordinary girl who drinks too much smokes too much and wears granny panties. It was utterly refreshing to have a heroine who has self-esteem issues, who was never the pretty one or the popular one and to watch her deal with life and love as best she can. And what a wonderful message to see that regardless of how much we try to better ourselves, succeed or fail, there is someone out there who will love us just the way we are!
