A 'Feel bad about being Fat' movie

Rating: Null/10 (5 December 2003)

There seemed to be a real theme going on in this film...that one has to be thin to be loved. I noticed 4 examples here:
1) Martine McCutcheon being referred to as chubby on several occasions even though she isn't. 2) The Portuguese housekeeper telling Colin Firth that she doesn't want to end up like her fat sister 3) Alan Rickman taking a fancy to a very slim Heike Makatsch (Mia) instead of his larger wife 4) Keira Knightley (the girl who gets married) was also very slim
I'm just not sure about the relevance of the chubby comments? Still, it didn't put me off eating my ice-cream during the movie. It's also strange that the same director gave us Bridget Jones's Diary, which actually made women feel good about not being a size 0 and they can still get the man.
