   Pristine

   As a bigger lady I was first positively surprised about the movie's take on the whole fat issue, the feelings and thoughts on being more than size 12.
   
   

   That feeling didn't last long though. The more the story progressed, the more I had uneasy feelings of insecurity and weight-shame, because the whole point of the movie seemed to be losing weight and getting your dream guy. The last scene was the icing on the fake cake, all you need to do is be thin, gorgeous and successful and you'll be forgiven. Did not buy it at all, to be honest.

   
   
   But I still liked Poppy Montgomery as Nola, she was absolutely the sweetest thing and I believed her as a bigger girl, even with the not-so-funny joke on having sugary icing on her shirt, that was just a low blow. There were some noteworthy supporting actresses too, especially Chelah Horsdal, loved her wit and character. 10 years 9 months ago
