So ugly chicks can't be mean?And hot chicks can't be charitable?


Should have balanced it out more in this movie. There were no ugly mean chicks. And only one hot chick was nice.

The problem is the "moderate" theists are used as shields by the theists that want religious law. Rejecting of any religion outside of your private home should be the norm. Secularism should be the main thing in all things that involve government,governance,etc.

I agree, I've had a lot of overweight bullies. This movie is judgemental.

there is a saying that when someone grows pretty they don't learn humility. (about how everyone is always nice to pretty people so they grow up with the mindset that everything is great and everyone deserves to be nice to them

Obviously that doesn't happen to everyone, but there is a reason why there is always that "mean cheerleader" cliche or the mean football player cliche.

yeah it is a cliche, and yes nice pretty people exist, but sometimes it is about how a person was raised. (it's like pretty people are not bullied since they are pretty)
I think this movie took that premise, that cliche and ran with it

Jill was beautiful before and after...

Except that after Hal became mature and enlightened, Jill came on to him after his overweight new girlfriend left the apartment. This seems very selfish and mean toward Rosemary.

Other than that, Jill was beautiful inside and out.

No,but there are way more attractive mean people than fat mean people.To prove my point,go to Hollywood(full of beautiful people) then Texas (full of fat people)where do you think the more nicer people will be?

Its a comedy man. Not a character piece. settle down

I think it was more about symbolism that actual reality. Hal had an unusual advantage because when he could see everyone's inner selves, they looked very different compared to their true appearances. I frankly would have liked it if he'd been stuck that way for the rest of his life.

This film was so ridiculous.
