The movie is truthful, honest, funny, and amazing. Although I don't believe that there is an Oscar potential for this, I do believe Golden Globe awards for this. Christina Ricci's performance in this was delightful. While I was watching the movie, however, when Reese Witherspoon popped up, I was delighted! Although it wasn't very long, it was pleasing to see her in a very different role from others that she took.
Honestly, I just wanted to comment on this and Reese's funny lines. But the movie should be watched; it's a comedy that can change the world's opinions of what's really beautiful, and that the outside does not matter.
