I could not get all the way through this movie. The way she stalked him made me so uncomfortable I had to stop. I was only able to get up to their first interaction. I love Ricki Lake so much and it was hard for me to see her in this type of role. I do love the way she so bravely went after what she wanted but it was the way she did it that bothered me. The spying on him and continuing to pursue him with romantic intentions when she knew he was attached. I think the writers could have improved the film if they had let her continue to go after him but because she wanted to get to know him as a person. Instead they focus on her getting a new mattress and silk sheets. I has to be a trade off: keep the overt sexual intentions or the fiancé, maybe trade in a disapproving parent.I'll try to finish it one day but only because I feel all the good reviews mean it has to be worth it in the end. I have seen this type of movie before and seeing the cast I was hoping for better.

Rikki Lake proves to be a great and touching actress. She proved she was funny in "Hair Spray" but proves she could make us cry! In this movie she plays a young woman who works in the morge! Not a happy place. Her best friend is a "world in ending" type. In this Love seems to be in the air for everyone! Its the holidays and everyone seems to be in love. Now working in the morge doesn't make life any rosier! After her dad gets married she lies about having a boyfriend and she gets a little depressed. Later on before she knows it she is smitten with a man that drives a train! She then will do anything to get a date from him! The co-stars in this movie are all great in the roles they play! Betty Buckley is just perfect! A must see!

great movie for dreamers out to get the person of their dreams. Rob is a real hunk and sex-pot who can turn any girl on, and make her want to believe that she can get whoever she wants. A real dream-come-true movie with a great ending that makes you feel great, and will give you the courage to pursue your dream (or dream-person).

I just really loved this movie. It has been a relief that someone is really out there for anybody, regardless of what you look like. I think I like this movie because it pertains to me so much. I feel other people who have put down overweight people and those who are overweight should watch this movie.It has a really good lesson to this story. It is that no matter what you look like, in the end, someone will love you for you. I recommend this movie to everyone who loves tearjerkers.
