Ana's boyfriend, Jimmy, tells her, "You're not fat. You're beautiful." She is both.

She is not fat. I enjoyed the movie, but I was bothered by the fact that she was constantly called fat. Yes, she has a few extra pounds on her frame, but using the word fat to describe her is ridiculous. Full-figured is a much better term.
"It's not fair!"
"You say that so often, I wonder what your basis for comparison is."
Well, the biggest problem with this statement isn't whether "fat" or "full-figured" should have been used. The real problem is it's source...Roger Ebert! Seriously, this "critic" is a waste of newspaper space, if you ask me. Time and time again, I have to hear people judge what movie to go to based on a "review" he's given. This man should not have gotten as far as he has with this "job" of his, if not based on the body of ignorant comments he's made, then on the fact that he still hasn't learned what irony means enough to assess movies that employ it fairly!

i *beep* hate critics, if someone decided to/not to see a movie because of one, they are a complete idiot.
