Discussing fat-girl book-to-movie casting with a friend, and he cited In Her Shoes by Jennifer Weiner.
My reaction:
“Yep, I read that book and saw that movie. The author wasn’t pleased with the casting, appearance-wise. Toni Collette weighed 20 lbs less than I do and worried in the movie voiceover about how her ass looked in a thong, and lamented that she loved shoes so much because they ‘always fit.’
“Um, whatever, lady. Sorry, I couldn’t hear your tiny violin over all my ear fat. Also, shoes never fit me, either, so eat a dick — maybe it has some calories.”
(Not to hate on Toni Collette, or on skinny women at all. She gained the weight they told her to gain for the role. I’m not saying she should have been made to put on 50 lbs more. It’s just that Toni Collette at ~120 lbs. should really not be the standard for Cameron Diaz calling you a “fat pig,” as happened in the movie.)
I mean, c’mon, really?
Yep. Toni Collette — clearly a total fucking hambeast.

Wait, the premise of this movie is that Toni Collette is overweight?
And because I can’t figure out how to edit my previous comment, the implication there is “this makes no sense.”
She gained 25 lbs to play the role and had to lose it in the process of shooting as part of the plot.
It’s one of the premises, yes.
Yeah, no. Even after your explanation, it still makes no sense. I’ve seen Toni Collette, and even when they’re dressing her to look like a cow compared to Gwyneth Paltrow, she’s still not that big.
