Excellent Movie!!
I think it displays a message which is fairly important: You don't have to be a size-2 blonde-haired, blue-eyed supermodel with big "tata's" (as Becca so nicely put it *lol*) to be considered beautiful.
I myself would never categorize myself as "hot", or "gorgeous", or "sexy", even tho' I know a few guys that would. This movie made me believe that it doesn't matter what other people think about the way I look (even tho' I've been telling myself that for years *hehe*).The only thing that matters is how YOU view yourself.
And don't think "hot" guys only go for ONE type of girl...I know a few gorgeous guys that have wanted to date me...but I had to turn 'em down, 'cause I had someone already! But anyways...the guys that a size-2 girl would consider "sexy" or "gorgeous" don't always go for the size-2 girls...guys like a bit of meat on their women! We're more fun to hug *hehe*. Besides, would you rather snuggle a tree branch or a pillow full of soft, downy feathers? ;-) Becca sets an incredible example that bigger really IS beautiful! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!! =D
What a gem!
Beautiful Girl changed the way i feel!
My daughter loves this movie since she was born in 2005
