Mo'Nique's Fat Chance (2005)
Yes it is just as bad
Yes, it is just as bad to promote unhealthy underweight women as it is to promote unhealthy overweight women, and people DO complain about those too. If you remember, this past year's Fashion Week in Madrid banned underweight models from their shows. London did NOT follow suit, but hopefully they will this coming year.
There are a lot of girls starving themselves to achieve the scary-thin bodies that they see, but doing just the opposite is not good either.
What happened to average-weight women? Why aren't THEY being revered the way that the overweight and underweight women are? As a model, you can be either a size 0 or a size 13. This is totally ridiculous.
Bring back healthy women!
Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (2004)
What's With The New Music? This is a 50s movie!
I watched this movie tonight and it is fairly entertaining. I think it's weird that the girl is dancing to hip hop in her first dance scene in the movie though. This is supposed to be the 50s! I liked Selma Blair as the mother. The lead actress does a good job too. It's not as good as the original obviously. But it's still original enough to keep it interesting. I wonder where this movie was actually filmed. It's American, right? So there are no shots of the beautiful Cuban scenery. Most scenes conveniently take place indoors or around a pool. With the exception of a couple of too recent musical choices, including the "Represent Cuba" theme, the music was lively and the dancing was sexy. Johnny and Baby could have learned a few things from these guys.
