An overweight woman fights prejudice and low-self esteem and finds a better way to live. Could've been your standard ugly duckling story (make-over, burgeoning new romance), but it avoided the traps with a few clever twists. A) She didn't have to lose 100 pounds to live happily ever after. B) She wasn't "rescued" by a man and C)It's all set in the interesting world of the sex industry.
A good effort to present a more realistic version of the standard "woman reinvent yourself" movie. If you like "Pretty Women," you probably won't like this. If you liked "Muriel's Wedding," then I'd give it a chance. . ..
