becca appear to have it all represent the hunky boyfriend who dot on her ( and omigahd he propose . ) while a chandelier shattering voice that go down well at the local bar while a great job teach chill drenn and validate by the teacher of the year award while and an adore family and friend . should be enough for someone who essentially a loud and large and brassy and not very pretty jewish princess . but no a skinny and classically good look blonde shiksa diss her look and and so becca have to beat her at one game she utterly ill equip for represent a beauty pageant . spoiler for anyone who do not see it come . happily for her and the miracle of movie magic make it all possible ignore any more realistic scenario in which a woman like her would be blow off in second for not adhere to western beauty industry standard . this one not like any of a number of other beauty contest film and in which an essentially spectacular girl have her light hide under a bushel of bad clothes and glass and to be reveal in time to win in the final reel . and that because this film be fundamentally a wish fulfilment fantasy for pardon me fat and ugly and spoilt girl who do not look like sandra bullock at her messy . it message be that external attractiveness doesn not count as much a inner beauty . of course and the convenient thing about the inner variety be that there no agree standard and so just about anyone can claim it and be believable . our becca have load and of course and a she reveal constantly . the result be inevitable represent hip and hip and hooray and the cute blonde be defeat ( bad and she convert ) and to the vicarious not very beautiful schadenfreude of the becca alikes in the audience . the depressing thing about all this be that of course inner beauty exists and and of course it really be ultimately more profound than the external kind . but to specifically pit inner beauty against good look in a good look contest be silly and pointless and and smack of vicarious spoilt greed . a rather ugly film . cd .
