i really thought this was gonna be good, but not so.
the premise is good - a man obsessed with looks gains the ability to see inner beauty. i understand the intention, but the execution was horrible.
after 15 minutes you can tell how it's going to end, which isn't bad, but it was an insult having Paltro in a fat suit at the end. why the hell didn't they use the actress that actually played her in the "fat" scenes.
it reminds me of the Farelly bros movie "Outside Providence" - they cannot mix gross-out humor and really heavy drama at the same time. they should stick to more even films like "...Mary" and "...Irene"
just as bad was the overall lack of humor. Jack Black's mannerisms and inflection are genius. Laura Kightlinger and Kyle Gass are good in their minor rolls. but the rest of the humor is crap. Jason Alexander obviously did this for the money. and miss Paltro is worthless.
hey Jack - stick to good indie films and the D.
