Although some may be put off by just HOW SHALLOW this guy is, by some tacky remarks about women with thick ankles, and some occasionally crude language -- I found the film to be delightful, refreshing, funny and very meaningful. There's even a cameo appearance by the great motivator Tony Robbins. It DOES explore our social prejudices against the overweight. You have to accept that this is a comedy, and let the science fiction aspect stretch your imagination a bit -- but the movie is extremely well done. It is not only worth watching -- it's definitely worth purchasing!

This movie should be a message for all not to judge a book by its cover. As the movie clearly indicates, some of the most beautiful people in the world are really the ugliest you could ever meet. True love and attraction come from the core of a person, not the cosmetic shell they wear. The movie is comical as well as a real message all can learn from.

I was surprised at this one. It's actually pretty good. Not as predictable as I would have thought. There were a few scenes it could do without, but, overall a good movie. I've watched it a few times.

it makes you laugh and realize how shallow we all are--if only we could see other people for their goodness inside rather than their attractiveness on the outside...they should have had a real heavy girl play the main character's part to be consistent with the other women in the movie--but hey...laugh and enjoy yourself!

The plot of this movie sounded great to me. It came through in teaching a very valuable lesson about inward beauty, but it also was somewhat of a disappointment. The movie had the potential of being a good family movie, but as often happens, there were uneccessary scenes and situations that detracted from the wholesome message. This movie could have become a classic, but as it is, I will not be purchasing it. Maybe someone will redo it with more taste and tact in the future.
