MrMallard 02/20/20 8:05:35 AM #24:	It's been a while, but I remember gags like the girlfriend jumping into the pool and cutting 3/4ths of a birthday cake off to enjoy for herself being pretty shitty towards an exaggerated profile of fat people. The movie's about teaching a shallow prick the meaning of inner beauty, but it does that with the same fat person jokes that contribute to bullying.

It's probably a decent enough movie for the early 2000's, bit I seriously doubt it holds up. It's all fat jokes through and through but because Gwyneth Paltrow is the lead co-star, she's the butt of those gags as herself not as the eventual fat suit character that is revealed later, which I guess was that emotional moment the movie was tugging for. Looking back at it now, it's a very weird anomaly of charm and manipulation and probably done as good as that premise could possibly could get. --- New York Rangers [2004-2008] https://media.giphy.com/media/WvQHBYW0q4TuxdAg61/giphy.gif https://psnprofiles.com/Jaromiroquai68 <cite>Jagr_68 posted [p:934633257] in Would Shal...
