I think Renee looked much better in the film, than she usually does. She is way too skinny usually and she looked so healthy and sexy with her figure. There is this idiocy in our Western culture, that girls are supposed to be skinny, which usually turns out to be unhealthy. Renee looked absolutely beautiful and stunning with her weight in the film, and she was fit too. But on the other hand, in the film we are to understand that the reason Bridget feels overweight, is because guys she has dated, just like Daniel, tend to want skinny women, so they can brag to other men about the skinny top model looking chicks they're banging. It's not about a man's preference, it's about how he can brag about it to his friends or people who see him in public. Daniel in fact leaves Bridget for Lara, even though he has more fun with Bridget, because she doesn't look like the girl every other guy dreams to be with. Lara looked like a top model, and every man who would see Daniel with her would feel jeaolus, so that's the whole point. Bridget dated *beep* like him, because, let's face it, they are the majority; that's why she felt inadequate, she felt she had to change.
Yet, the beauty of the film is that Bridget finally finds the man who likes her just the way she is, who doesn't think she should change, and that is a good lesson for all women. We don't really see that much in films nowadays. How many healthy looking, regular looking women are the heroine of a romantic film nowadays. Most of them are skinny, unhealthy, unorexic looking.
