Misty...ew


The daughter was really annoying. She was too round and whorey. In real life she would have been way too fat to be such a flirt, guys would look the other way.

Just my two cents.

What does weight have to do with someone being attracted to someone else? Not everyone is vain and conceited. One thing you might look at in disgust another might look at as a treasure. And she wasnt a wh*re...being flirty doesn't make you one...doing everyone with a penis or vagina does though.

I was watching this movie last night and thought the same thing. She was too unattractive to be a flirt.

Lets put a SMILE on that face!

Wow, before the current crop of self absorbed critics of the human body who pronounce 'hot' or 'ugh' -- superficially -- in the setting of this film and in John Waters 'day' -- girls could carry a few pounds and guys would dream about the girls chests. Also guys in those days took 'personality' into account in sizing up date material. Well, if you want to limit your interests to skinny, bulimic airheads, well, that's your tough luck.

I miss Big Band music and talented singers. Leonard Cohen is my idol. Civility, harmony, unity!

i think ricki lake is gorgeous

She is now, but in the movie many years ago, she had more weight, and even then exuded sex appeal to men who are not shallow in their assessment of fellow human creatures.

Right! I just saw her this week in Cry Baby (with Johnny Depp) and in Mrs. Winterbourne, as a bride of Brandon Fraser. One chubby and one svelte. Both, with charm and sass.

i went to school with this woman that was a lot bigger than me. But she always had guys dripping off of her and always had a string of boyfriends. Her weight had nothing to do with it. She was really beautiful had long shiny hair and 100 x the confidence of the thinner girls i knew. Her confidence is what made her attractive. She knew she wasn't a size 1 and that was totally okay with her. And the guys never seemed to mind either.




I couldn't hear my own footsteps. It was the walk of a dead man.

You are crazy. Ricki Lake has never looked better than here. I loved her!

Overall, I think Ricki Lake is attractive, even in this film when she was on the heavier side. However, I think some of these people are moronic to think only pretty girls can be flirts. I've seen flirts come in all shapes and sizes, and find the lesser attractive girls are often flirtier than their prettier counterparts. In fact, all the prettier girls I know aren't flirts because they either are A.) really shy and can't trust guys or B.) feel they are too good-looking to have to initiate anything. The biggest flirt I knew was ugly as hell, but had a lot of confidence and guys did flock to her. I find it funny that so many people think only attractive people are good enough to partake in certain activities, but most people are not drop dead gorgeous anyway. The media has really brainwashed some of you.

Honesty is the best joke ever.

To the OP:

I just got done watching this for the first time (great movie,btw)and she wasn't too bad looking in this.

If you think she's heavy then you should check out Babycakes. That was the film that launched her along with her weight into the mainstream....the reason I say this is because she is MUCH thinner in Serial Mom, she had already been in the process of exercising to get in the shape she currently is in today.

I thought she was very cute in this film

Waters noticed she was getting thinner and thought she'd play a good flirt...and she was hilarious when she was cruising Det. Pike as well as the photo-journalist.

I loved the section when they were all chasing Beverly and she took time out to make out with the guy and dad yells "MISTY SUTPHIN GET IN THIS CAR!" and she pouted JUST LIKE DIVINE did in Polyester. CHOICE!!!!

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.
