I think it displays a message which is fairly important: You don't have to be a size-2 blonde-haired, blue-eyed supermodel with big "tata's" (as Becca so nicely put it *lol*) to be considered beautiful.
I myself would never categorize myself as "hot", or "gorgeous", or "sexy", even tho' I know a few guys that would. This movie made me believe that it doesn't matter what other people think about the way I look (even tho' I've been telling myself that for years *hehe*).The only thing that matters is how YOU view yourself.
And don't think "hot" guys only go for ONE type of girl...I know a few gorgeous guys that have wanted to date me...but I had to turn 'em down, 'cause I had someone already! But anyways...the guys that a size-2 girl would consider "sexy" or "gorgeous" don't always go for the size-2 girls...guys like a bit of meat on their women! We're more fun to hug *hehe*. Besides, would you rather snuggle a tree branch or a pillow full of soft, downy feathers? ;-) Becca sets an incredible example that bigger really IS beautiful! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!! =D
All she wants is to have a great honeymoon that would be the icing on the cake for her. And when she bumps into Libby a snobby thinks shes 'it' kind of girl she tells her about a beauty contest that who ever wins will get 2 tickets to Hawaii! that would make a great honeymoon venue so Becca enters! she then goes onto bigger and better things! I think that any girl who thinks low of herself should watch this film because it will make you fill good about yourself so you can understand that beauty isn't blonde haired blue eyed bean poles but can come in all shapes and sizes because beauty is in the heart and if you have a good heart then you have a good personality and at the end good looks! A very lovely film i think anyone would enjoy it!
