"Looks are overrated"....stupid?


When Brad mentions this, the narrator tells "Only someone who took his own beauty for granted could say something so stupid".

I was never quite sure what was meant...

-how he underestimated the importance and impact of good looks?
-how he was not complimenting/comforting Sarah with this, who supposedly has a lack of good looks (hard to believe with a miscast Winslet...she's too pretty for this role)?

From Brad's point of view it seems he was telling the truth, having been with a knockout and knowing it was not all that to have such a woman as significant other. It did not seem so stupid to me but I guess it was just the clumsy thing to say to a woman like Sarah?

Personally I think looks ARE overrated, so I don;t think it's stupid at all.

Maybe the writer thinks it's stupid to say that because he came off as insincere and didn't really mean it.

Never Drumpf! Never Hillary!
