ironically, i loved the movie. and i didn't think he "settled" for the heavy girl. i think he'd finally recognized that true beauty is the INNER beauty, and felt like he'd be "settling" if he gave up the girl he loved in favor of dating someone with the body of a supermodel.
there were some sad scenes. and i really don't like the fact that they made her unattractive when they added all that padding. heavy women don't have to be unattractive.
but overall, i thought the movie was very positive. it reminds me of one of the reasons i fell in love with my husband, if you don't mind me telling a little story.
at the time, i weighed about what i'm trying to get back to. somewhere around 120. i was thin, i had a nice body.
my husband had just gotten a divorce from his previous wife, and we were out shopping with my kids. he said the most amazing thing, while we were talking about his divorce. he said that he still thought his ex-wife was the sexiest woman he'd ever known.
she was 5'2" and weighed over 240 lbs.
like shallow hal, my husband had learned to see beyond what you see with your eyes. and all i wanted was a man who could love me that much that my appearance would never matter. and in the end, that's who i got. he doesn't care that i'd gained appx. 30 lbs since we married. that's MY issue, but it certainly isn't his.
maybe that's why i love the movie so much.
