While I will probably end up watching this film on video or cable some night in the distant future, and very well may enjoy it thoroughly, I feel the need to expound on some of the basic ideas being presented here. To begin with, this girl is not ugly. The film-makers seem to believe that an attractive girl dressed in baggy clothes who happens to wear glasses is the makings of a social outcast. But suddenly, by removing her glasses, changing her hair slightly and putting some decent clothes on her, she can be the dream girl every guy always wanted. The fallacy here is simple.
Men check out every girl.
It doesn't matter if you are the hairy fry girl at the Burger King all night window, some guy will eventually check you out. And if he sees anything remotely interesting, he will tell his friends about it. It is a proven fact which cannot be disputed. Miraculously, because this guy is interested in her, this complete social outcast suddenly becomes a super-babe who makes boys drool simply by flicking her hair. This is physically impossible.
