Watched this yesterday, I don't trust any of the 5 star reviews I read as anything but paid reviews...I found it bland and a feel good movie for the obese.
I saw this movie and thought it was boring. All the comments about rebels weight are just cruel. If she doesn't care about how she looks or how much she weighs it is nobody else business.
You 1 star reviewers are mean, this is just a bad movie period. The fact Rebel weighs as much as 2 actresses that would actually be considered attractive has nothing to do with it.
Got dragged to this stinker by my buddy, nickname the Whaler. He loved it, but his wife has 150 lbs on him so no surprises there. The rest of us walked out before it was over, not because of the film, there was 3 land whales eating and talking through the entire movie.
Spectacular Movie from start to surprising thrilling happy ending...BBW have Men like Liam attracted to them like a Bee to Honey...yes i was this size because of Zyprexa...but a Man who looks like Justin Trudaeu Married me and is madly in Love with me after 25 plus years.
If the film was named "Which way to the all you can eat Buffet", she would be Perfect to star in. Miscast for a Romantic lead, try someone who isn't 100lbs more than the male lead next time, like Jessica Biel or Mila Kunis. I watched this with the girls, I am a woman in my 30's. It made us all skip dessert and put extra time in the gym.
This is just a bad film full stop. And as repusive as Rebel is, she is not as revolting as Julia Roberts. Few are. So much for that theory.
If Julia Roberts , or the like, was the star , all those perfectly fit 10, 1 star critics wouldn't be so critical & why would they go to a Rebel Wilson movie if they find her so repulsive other than to berate her with great courage, because you can hide behind the mask of anonymity. Lot of brave anonymous people. She was perfectly cast where a woman might have a self-image problem. There were chuckles & I was pleasantly surprised at the couple of dance numbers. Oh, by the way, I'm an older male & relatively fit.-
Feel good movie that dreams that a 10, Hemsworth falls for a 1....guess who. Walked out when two women who's girth was about like Rebel's wouldn't shut up about how pretty she was and that she had a nice figure...while the movie was playing.
It was funny and had a true point to luv yourself!!!
