get over here houdini!!!

this is a meaningful movie about one of the true meaning of love and life is looking beyond the surface. There is a part featuring Tony Robbins, when you watch the show, you should listen to what he said.

A lot of folks think they know what this film is about. They think it’s another one of those comedies populated by idiots behaving badly, and oh Ha Ha Ha, there’s this huge fat girl who we can all laugh at.

It’s not. Yes, some people do behave badly, but on the whole, as you get to know Hal, you see that apart from this weird fixation he has on the perfect woman, he’s really kind of a nice guy. He isn’t cruel to women, he’s just wrong about them. And when someone comes along and allows him to get beyond that conditioning, he not only sees the beauty in people, but he sees the ugliness in some beautiful people. He sees people for who and what they are for a change, and he’s never been happier.

His responses to the chain of events are good, they’re honest. He recognizes that losing this ability has hurt him, turned him back into something less than the person he wants to be. And in the end he makes all the right choices with his eyes wide open. He has become the person he wants to be, and that’s cause for celebration.

This isn’t a “deep” film, it’s a comedy. And yeah there are some moments which, as a fat woman, made me cringe. But the message was right: Look deeply into both others and yourself, and make your peace with what you find. You’ll be the better for it.
