Nice romantic movie about an overweight editor who also has an alter-ego as a stylish British agony aunt. The padding they use on Poppy Montgomery and her two co-stars is well done, far better than in the movie ' Shallow Hal', the movie is fairly predictable, but since the story is good, who cares. A girly movie that this bloke enjoyed.

I was kind of surprised that no one here has mentioned how similar the storyline is to that of Confessions Of A Shopaholic. Both the main characters are column-writers who pretend to be something they're not, be it a financial expert while having financial troubles or a weight-loss guru while being fat, and in both cases the secret comes out in the end. Then again, I guess not many people have actually seen this movie. Myself, I only saw it because it was part of a 5 movies for €5,- action at the supermarket. Still, if you're not looking for a movie with a great, original storyline, it's good entertainment.

Watch while consuming massive amounts of junk food ;)

I DVR'd this movie after seeing that Poppy Montgomery and Adam Kaufman (real-life couple) were playing main characters.

I thought the acting was decent. To disagree with the previous reviewer, I found the leads to be engaging and likable. Poppy Montgomery was convincing as both the overweight character in the first half and the newly thin character in the second. Could they have cast a heavier actress to be more authentic? Sure. But wouldn't have have required major weight loss in a short amount of time for said actress? And wouldn't there still be complaints about forcing actresses to be thin? Adam Kaufman played the "cute boy with something mysterious going on" role very well. When you watch a movie on Lifetime, that's all you can ask for.

I could have done without the annoying boss at Shine. She really was annoying, which I suppose was the point. For me, those scenes were the hardest to sit through.

I enjoyed this movie. The conversations between friends were natural, and the topics were real and typical. I thought the romantic leads played off each other nicely. They were believable.
