What's with Forte dating a big girl?


Maybe he should pick on someone his own size.




I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

And what is your point?

Hey, fat chicks need love too!

...But they gotta pay.

I was disappointed that we didn't get to see any hot redneck girls in this movie. Do they not exist in Middle America? Because Texas is loaded with 'em.

Not every woman has to be a hotsy totsy love interest. I see plenty of overweight girls with kids when I go out in public, obviously somebody's screwin' 'em.

Misery's the river of the world Everybody row Everybody row

when she's so ugly you have to put a bag over your head for safety in case the bag you put over her head should fall off.

And then there's the Three Bagger girl... a bag for over her head, a bag for over your head, and the third bag thoughtfully provided to the peeping tom outside.

Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger

Everyone ...

The bigger the cushion
The sweeter the pushin'
That's what I said

The looser the waistband
The deeper the quicksand
You know I have read

My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
I like to sink her with my pink torpedo

Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em
Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?

I think the "big" girlfriend gives his a character more dimension. Remember the character is not Will Forte but a middle aged guy who lives in a grubby apartment and sells stereos in Podunk Montana. Also, could be one of those places where a 5'6" 240lb woman is considered svelte and sheep outnumber the women.

Heh, heh. At least he has something to fall back on. Or maybe, fall back into.

Maybe he liked her. Why is that an issue?

Bet you don't have a girl at all.

reply

You lose.

People often complain about mismatches in movies when a schlubby guy is with a hot girl, and that is legit to complain about; so I think it's reasonable to point it out when it goes the other way. It's not just that she's big but she doesn't seem to have much style or other attractive features to compensate for it, whereas they didn't make Will Forte look less attractive than he is. Plus, he was the one trying to get her back, which made it seem even more oddly unbalanced.

Check out the couples at almost any Walmart. If one partner is fit and the other is a chunky monkey, 90% of the time it's the girl who's fat as fnck. Most of the Walmart couples have both being obese, but my observation stands for those who are disparate in BMI.

Why any self-respecting fit person would saddle themselves with a food Hoover is beyond me. Just having to look at that gross sh!t, let alone touch it, would wilt any desire.

That's pretty much how I felt about Miss Bad Knees in this movie: get gone and stay gone. 😒

I wouldn't call Forte a "hot guy" though. He looks like a regular, middle aged dude. Not bad looking but no Brad Pitt by any means. And, as was previously stated here, he wasn't exactly cream of the crop. I don't see anything abnormal.

The young actress in question had previously appeared in Alexander Payne's more famous "Sideways" -- as the restaurant waitress at whose home Thomas Hayden Church's wallet ends up -- for memorable reasons and with an even more memorable "wallet retrieval" scene.
