...each of you: you really are one-of-a-kind. Your gifts of not-fake e-mail addresses were far more generous than the stilted pleasantries we’re used to from Harvard girls, who avoid us just because we sit behind them and tug on their thong straps in lecture. Look, we’re just being playful, so why don’t you save that rape whistle for when you actually feel violated...

They are industrial-strength respirators, stark and white, the only things capable of stopping a stench that turns the stomach...
Though overlong and somewhat predictable, the film manages to combine feel-good sentiments with funny remedies for low self-esteem. Rose may not feel comfortable in a thong, but sexual confidence abounds the minute she steps into her black stilettos, reminding every person who’s ever gained the “Freshman 15” or felt irredeemably unattractive, that everyone has something to flaunt...
