This movie was officially released yesterday and I've already seen it twice: once at the Dayton premiere, and once via Video on Demand through iTunes. I'm not sure what I loved most about this film. The cast was fantastic. It was so funny that everyone in the theatre was howling with laughter. There were so many tender moments, both with the romance as well as the main character's strong bonds with her girlfriends. And the message that so many women need to hear, to love themselves now, not five pounds from now, comes through loudly and clearly without being didactic. I can't believe this was an independent film. It blows all my perceptions about indies out of the water. I can't recommend this movie highly enough.
