  • Don't Shoot the Message: The moral that you shouldn't be ashamed of your body is a good one, but this film's presentation of said moral is undermined by a number of factors. Firstly, the film does not address the fact that unhealthy eating and poor dieting is still bad for you, regardless of your size. Secondly, almost every skinny girl in the film is portrayed as a jerk, which makes it come off as hypocritical as it suggests that body positivity only applies to larger women and that simply being thin makes you a bad person. Thirdly, it 's been noted that only plus-sized women get portrayed as Beautiful All Along; the male love interests are depicted as more conventionally-attractive with toned bodies and six-packs.
  • Heartwarming Moment: Jazmin accepting herself and embracing her body.
