Yucko! What a stinker!......
This is a movie about a big girl who gets 'made over' and becomes thin, finds love and lives happily ever after. It's a spoof on romantic comedies, sort of like "Scary Movie" is a spoof on horror movies but this was not nearly as funny. I didn't like this movie. It tried hard to be funny but it wasn't. It was just a yawner! It relied on cheap, stereotypical and often sexist jokes and tired parodies which will be forgotten in a few years and be even less funny. I wasn't deeply offended by this movie but I disliked the way it objectified women (i.e. showing a fat girl going to a body shop like a car to get made skinny and the super hot ex-girlfriend who looks and acts slutty and the boyfriend who thinks it's appropriate to have his ex hang all over him) I am fine with sex and nudity in movies but I didn't like the message behind this film. It was mindless and painful to watch and made me uncomfortable. I happen to be young and thin and generally have a good sense of humor about sexist jokes but something about this movie just left me with a yucky feeling! I feel like this movie insulted my intelligence. There are plenty of things in this world which make young women feel bad about the way they look and it's generally not a quality I look for in a so-called comedy! This is funny if you are male and under the age of 16 and even then, this movie might be a bit overboard!
