I feel confused. This muddle of a movie is I guess trying to teach us all a moral lesson. Renee doesn't feel like one of the pretty successful girls and is struggling to get a boyfriend. When she falls off the bike at Spin lessons and hits her head, she comes too and believes when she looks at herself that she is supermodel gorgeous. This causes her to walk and dress differently, and she starts meeting men and getting the job she wants.
There just seems something off about this movie, its like the teenage myth portrayed on movies/television that is a girl just takes off her glasses and overalls and puts a bit of lip gloss on she will get the hot guy. I just felt like cringing in lots of scenes through this movie and just felt it just doesn't reflect any reality and is just relying on crude jokes to get by. I am disappointed too that it just seems to be trying to reply the plain janes just need to buy some high heels and step out to win their dream guy and top job. I don't buy it, but I guess it is made for 20 year olds and I am way out of the target demographic. 1/5

I think you’re right in that the film probably is trying to teach that how one thinks of oneself is all one needs to consider. It isn’t. If a man or woman thinks that eh or she is attractive or smart, that is half the battle; but it still largely depends on what other people think, unfortunately, and that doesn’t always change with one’s attitude adjustment.
And the movie sounds pretty ordinary, aside from the flawed lesson.
