This is one of my fave TV movies. I saw it when i was young and loved it because it does tell people to not judge a book by it's cover.
I am older and still love this movie. I got this DVD as a present from a friend and i almost cried because he knew how much i loved this movie.
It's a story of a "fat" girl who does what everyone thinks she can't. Get a hot guy. She proves them all wrong. She can and WILL get the guy. And she does. I think more people need to look on the inside of people rather than outer appearances. Looks will fade but a beautiful soul never does. And like this movie that message will stand the test of time.
