I was skinny and constantly shamed for being too skinny, then I gained weight with my pregnancies and was shamed for being over weight. Now I've been losing weight with diet and exercise and now I'm getting "are you ok? I'm worried about you..." and It's literally taken me 3 years... you can't win so just be happy and tell them to f*#& off
This is something I have to learn to practice myself. But just do it so that YOU feel comfortable in your own skin. I know it's hard because we want validation, we're only human but we have to try ❤️
Yes!!!
I can relate.
The same people who used to make jokes about my weight when I was heavier are the same people who now tell me I look sick and act concerned? Make up yo damn minds 🤯
Saaame!! Ive been called fat all my life and i remember in highschool i dropped to 106 pounds and was skinny as heck and they still called me fat, then the next year i went up to 142 and everyone said OMG you got so fat you were skinny last year. Like bIH you said i was huge last year and i had to suffer through that. Even my dad would always say stuff like " You were so skinny when you were little idk what happened" ..... yOu mean when I was 6 and my body actually started getting taller ?! WTF. Then finally i get to around 165 as an adult and become happy with myself at nearly 30 years old, ive been more secure than I ever have been with my body despite what anyone says. Then i got covid and it made me drop down to 129-130 in like 2 weeks it was insaneee. So then severall months after when im finally around family again its a mix of OMG YOU LOOK SO GOOD and Omggg whats wrONG WITH YOU lol you cant win. Like i do understand not all of them know it was covid so I dont blame them, but my dad knows and has pointed out every body fat on me to poke and make fun of over the years was suddenly, instead of leaving me alone about my weight for once was all Whats wrong with you, are you sickk??? LIKE seriously after all that time saying i should lose weight your gonna be judgey about me losing weight and keep acting suspicious. People are weird lol. Also it kinda hurts that people think i look good now when I had gotten to a place where I thought I looked good before..
It's like it's not actually about you but about how those critical people project their own insecurities onto you. No need to pay any attention to that then. They'll always find things to complain about. Maybe they need a hug and be told you love them anyway despite their judgments about you that have nothing to do with them. At the very least it may get them confused and then they'll remember it and think about it. If it pisses them off, good because judge not lest ye be judged.
The woman that plays Lexi in this movie is absolutely gorgeous… It’s insane that they would portray such a gorgeous woman as undesirable, that’s dumb.
Right??? She deserves a much better role.
This is actually a very stylized brand of Canadian comedy and she wasn't being mocked in the role at all. It's hard to explain to people who aren't Canadian.
Ever watched Gilligan's Island? If you want to see an out-of-this-world ridiculous interpretation of "undesirable" then look no further than the way they did Mary Ann 🤦
She is sooooo pretty!!
@@montyollie I was kinda thinking this was the case. Had some weird Letterkenney moments.
That fart sound affect was made by my dad (it is air blown onto his hand) who was a sound engineer. He would always make these sounds around the house to make us and himself laugh. He died this past July 2nd. He would have been quite chuffed knowing his sound affect is used so often. Makes me smile every time i hear it and other sound affects he created. Most of them are in public domain now, so i often hear them.
I'm sad that no one responded to this comment and tat it only got 5 likes in 8 months (I'm #5). I'm always happy to hear the fart noises on her videos lol
I think that’s a hilarious way to honor your dad. It’s kinda like how I always say I want my family to laugh at me if I lose my mind when I become elderly and chose to laugh instead of cry at the bat-shit old lady 😂. Hope you’re doing well, friend.
✌🏽😚💨
That’s so amazing
I hope this is true because that's amazing
Your dad was awesome then❤
When Jaime said “wordy dirk boots” I understood her completely and didn’t question it until she said something 😭
Same. I didn't even clock it until she corrected herself 😂😂💀
I heard dirty work boots and when she mentioned it, I still heard dirty work boots.
@@SimianRaticusDA gotta love that brain autocorrect
Why did Lexie have two love interests (plus a guy who spent the night farting on her floor) who treated her poorly? And then the movie is just like, well, that's good enough 🤷🏻 so depressing and unfair
unfortunately, thats pretty accurate to how people treat plus size people in relationships. as well as treating them like theyre ashamed to be seen dating them in person, or that fat partners should be “grateful” for their treatment for even being given a chance
how did Joss treat her badly?
Actually she was so mean it made me cringe.
Joss was not rude and disrespectful
Because all us fat women are desperate for love and will give in to any attention, especially if it's negative, from like abusive men or creepy dudes.
@@naynay9652 He was a creeper
i think something that’s missing from a lot of discussions around fatphobia / harmful depictions of fat characters and people is that it doesn’t matter if someone is attractive or not, they should be treated with respect regardless of how appealing they look on the outside :( fat people shouldn’t have to be conventionally attractive or even appealing to be valued and loved
Thiiiiss. Where in the world did we get the idea that you can only be good to people if they are attractive? It’s absurd.
So underrated istg!!!
@@samdp42 ...media. That's constantly what media tells you, bro. This happens in animated stuff too. Characters designs are on purpose. Casting choices are on purpose.
"Lipophobia."
Thank you
A male family member walking in on you changing and insisting on taking a picture while you're in your bra is 1,000% creep factor.
Also, the spying male love interest being 'the good guy who spies on her because he really loves her' is such a toxic trope that I am so sick of!
Shut up you’re so whiny
Ugh, it’s giving…. Twilight. 😒
I was the matron of honor years ago of a former friend. She was the only daughter with 3 brothers, and they were an uncomfortably close family. Us ladies were all getting dressed before the wedding at the venue, and suddenly, the doors swing open and her dad and 3 brothers (who were like 20s) all walked in! Me and the bridesmaids were ligit in our underwear and tried to cover up as quick as possible! The bride, was in her bra and underwear and hugged her dad and brothers...it was just weird lol
"People say 'oh, you're so modest' but then if you weren't modest people just, like, took that as an open invitation to say stuff about your body"
As a bigger girl who has this happen at least weekly, I feel so incredibly validated.
@@Aschuu People shouldn't base how they dress on the opinions of other people. It's a body. Having rolls or things like that are normal, people shouldn't feel less attractive because of how they look.
@@Aschuu sorry to say this to you, but you're a bad person objectively. Shallow and encouraging others to be equally as shallow. Modesty isn't the issue. People should be able to chose that modesty. I shouldn't be forced to dress with my tits out or completely covered.
@@Aschuu If other people don't want to see it.... they shouldn't look. It's weird how people can't wait to make it their business how other people look rather than just continuing on with their day because it doesn't affect them at all.
@@laurelinblaze I mean what are they supposed to do? Go blind until the nasty sight is gone from their vision? People used to be modest, and biggest of all, people used to have self respect. Now every chick is like "I'm fat and I'm hot, love my rolls!" Like... No. You're disgusting. Sorry, not sorry.
@@Aschuu or just use your neck and look the other way if you don't like it? If that's how people feel hot, let them feel hot. If you can't help but judge people left and right, you're the gross one.
As a fat girl It's true I cant know a moments peace without eating. I even snack in my sleep. I am just waiting for the day that I can clumsily fall (probably over a very long skirt or floor length cardigan because lord forbid I show my thunder thighs or arms least I blind the public) in front of my one true love who will be willing to settle for me.
As a disgusting fat fuck, me and my 25 cats watch Love is Blind every night and dream of the day some man will lower himself to be with me. In between bites of food of course because I too am perpetually eating at all hours of the day, uncontrollably.
@@batacumba My cat and I are literally watching Love is Blind and plotting to hunt Cole for sport
As a fellow thick girl, this is poetry
@@Cristina-Ortiz You get it! Lets snack together while we wait for our prince in good enough armor
@Umlilo Artworks It absolutely is
Movies like this are what convinced me when I was growing up that the men I loved would never love me back, because I was overweight
Oh same. But then growing up I realized how many people find me beautiful just the way I am! (That and some people are SPECIFICALLY attracted to larger women)
I hope you know that’s not true. There are so many men that love BBW. Everyone likes something different
@@kimmymarky9538 it’s something that is very hard to unlearn. But thank you so much for being kind.
Same. I tolerated 15 yrs of violence because I believed I wasn’t worthy of true love because I was a bit overweight. Sadly, I became underweight from the stress. Took me so long to love myself. I appreciate the body positive movement. It’s needed
Same, if someone flirted with me I assumed I imagined it and the few times I thought maybe they were but then some outsider would be like "Do you think maybe you are seeing it as more than it is? Cause ur fat?" Yrs later I found out from quite a few of them they did like me but thought I wasn't interested because I ignored them. But everyone told me I was unlovable due to my weight! Thank God my husband was direct and let me know lol or I would have let him go too.
The one thing that stuck with me from that Kaley Cuoco film was the scene where her character tries to explain/legitimatize folks who comment on the weight of fat people because maybe they are concerned about peoples health (I've heard this excuse so many times 🙄) and another girl in the movie who is actually fat says, "You really think people "moo" at us because they care about the healthcare system?" Lots of that movie is totally stereotypes, but something about that line and how realistic and somehow empowering it felt for her to basically say, "Are you being effing serious right now?" stood in my brain after only seeing the film once.
As a former fatty, one of the movies I found most relatable about overweight people was this Korean movie called 200 lb Beauty. It’s odd but I found the main character likable, relatable, and portrayed pretty well. She isn’t constantly eating or portrayed as selfish or lazy. She is just overweight and the movie is showing her struggles and how she is treated. The ending is fantastic in my opinion as well. It has an interesting message about appearances and plastic surgery. If your okay with reading subtitles, i say give it a watch!
Thanks for the recommendation! I'm usually wary with korean shows/movies because of their intense beauty standards and so the only one I'd seen was Oh My Venus! which from what I remember wasn't too bad. It still depicted the character as a fat woman who was constantly eating, but she also made a strong effort to have a healthier lifestyle with good diet and exercise as opposed to resorting to plastic surgery or impossibly quick/enhealthy weight loss scenarios. I think it was a pretty good depiction of someone dealing with an eating disorder and battling with weight loss.
Thanks for the recommendation! There's waaay too many kdramas lol. I loved attorney woo
I LOVE that movie!
I remember that movie-I enjoyed watching it-I love East Asian dramas and shows-a lot of them have great story lines and no plot holes (Korean dramas never leave you guessing at the end)
@@southchild_ also she was portrayed as having gained weight in the first place because she has a thyroid disorder and a stressful job, not a chronic issue with laziness and overindulgence, and she loses the weight (with difficulty) only when she not only gets her own heavily invested personal trainer, but he finds out about her thyroid disorder and how it means that his "you just need to work harder" attitude was actually super counterproductive and tailors their work to her condition and life.
Oh my god finally someone is talking about this!! Hollywood had so many terrible stereotypes but this one was ALWAYS one that got under my skin. If your “fat” that doesn’t automatically mean you can’t stop eating and you’re lazy. That’s why there’s been no inclusivity until recent years. 🤦🏽♀️
They are horrible
If someone literally can’t stop eating that’s Prader-Willi Syndrome, it’s pretty rare.
It's just not Hollywood, it's society in general. Movies like this just perpetrate the stereotype. It's disgusting. Directors and producers need to stop making this offensive crap. Also, I don't find this movie funny in the least bit & I'm Canadian 🇨🇦
I see you in almost every comment section I go to now, do we have the exact same algorithm or do you live on UA-cam cos I see your account like multiple times a day at this point, at first I was thinking it was a coincidence but you’re just always there, not complaining your opinions are welcomed and you seem nice it’s just a bit odd, lmao
Right! I have one meal a day and can't lose weight. PCOS is a B****. Especially since I started having issues with it WHILE pregnant. So I gained all the pregnancy weight and then didn't "bounce back" so obviously I'm just a lazy POS who can't stop eating. 👎
I say this every time, but it’s true. Jamie will be the only UA-camr or content creator that I watch the entirety of the ads for.
honestly though i'm starving now
Ryan george is another good one
Try Internet Historian too, his ads are legendary
Same. She does a great job and is an amazing director
Yes yes yes
Wearing only one pair of tights through the whole move is accurate because it's so hard to find GOOD cute tights in that size.
Try googling snag tights. They have tights of every size.
You might want to try Dumplin. It was a pretty good movie about a heavyset girl whose mom did all these talent shows. The mom was kind of reliving her glory days and she spent way more time helping the other contestants than she did with her own daughter. Her daughter felt like she was not welcome to be a part of her mother's world because she was not thin. She reacts to this perceived rejection by trivializing talent shows and her mother's work until one day she gets talked into signing up for the local talent show. She finds that it is a lot more work than just being thin and she starts actually trying. In the end, she does not win because she started trying way too late but she does end up proving to herself that she could be beautiful and that others had always seen her as such. The movie ends with the mother and daughter becoming closer. The mom starts paying more attention to her daughter's needs and the daughter has more respect for the good work her mom does.
I actually really loved "Patti Cake$," which has the same actress. Super cute movie.
It was beauty pageants not talent shows. And I think she didn't win because her talent wasn't what she listed or something with her uniform idr. But it is a good movie.
@@RockinRoyaltyx3 You are right I tend to use the two interchangeably since in my mind beauty pageants are talent shows with extra steps.
and the cute boy liked her (i love like benward who played him so as a bigger girl it made me happy)
The TRUTH behind the that beginning statement about the opposite being true - where it’s the skinny people gorging themselves on food while the overweight people sit in their hatred, silently hating and judging them is ON POINT
As a skinny person, I can confirm this. I feel bad, man. It's just genetics. Genes are stupid.
this is very true and it sucks :( i admit, i am the envious fat person looking in jealousy and wondering why i can’t eat whatever without blowing up and having people think “well thats why she fat”
Yep, and then you feel guilty for judging them on top of that.
@@catburglarnami thin people don't eat whatever. That's not how it works. When you see them eating burgers or the like, it's once a week or socially. They skipped meals I'm sure, several times that week as well, or had snacks instead. Or they smoke. Calories in, calorie expenditure. It's basic science. Trust me I've gone from size 2 to 8 in my adult life. Super skinny people say they eat normally, and they don't really. Big people say they eat healthy, and they don't, really, or they are consuming alcohol and getting calories from that. Take my friend who says she's eating only salad and doesn't understand why she's not losing weight and then one day I see her in her car, hiding, eating a whole pizza to herself. Or my co worker who sits down all day except to make McDonald's runs while I'm laboring and just snacking or light meals. Or my teacher who is 500 lbs plus who, whenever we discuss an event, even musical, she just talks about what sort of food she can get. Food is such an addiction for some, be it eatting too much or dieting.
That being said I am not trying to diss on bigger people or even thin ones, but lifestyle and eatting habits are so engrained I think people don't realize. The habits are learned from parents very early on.
Great video per usual.
@catburglarnami just as "skinny" ppl shouldn't judge an "overweight" person the same goes for "overweight"ppl not judging a "thin" person. No one can help being born with the metabolism they get. And you never know what's going on with others whether it's eating disorders (eating to much or starving themselves) to medical conditions, medications, etc. Ppl just need to work on loving and accepting themselves rather than judge others by how they look. There's SO many actually important things we all need to be worrying about. Especially in America right now.
I have found that men are always extremely impressed on dates with me when, unprompted and without warning, I let them know I have body dysmorphia and several other mental illnesses. Men love it when you just spring things like that on them and are always as understanding as this guy for sure.
😆 (wait. You are joking right?)
@@j.rebekah8605 yes, I think this movie is ridiculous for trying to make her eating disorder quirky flirty banter.
🤣😭💀 Yes, and they just can't wait to do all your chores for you as soon as you dump all your traumas and insecurities on them.
@@themaggattack The way they made him seem eager and happy to help, in what universe is that reality please??? What a strange film.
@@jungtothehuimang Right? Normal guys would've told her to do it herself. 😆
My own mom used to tease me for “being such a prude” for not wanting to change out in the open at camp or after gym class or wherever changing clothes needed to happen. That same mom made me change behind a towel as a little kid in public (outdoors like at the beach or park) and she was modest as far as I knew! What an absolute mind-eff.
Can you review The DUFF next? I’m literally in the middle of watching it and as soon as the weird dress montage came up, I thought “Jaime needs to review this!” and came right to your page. ❤️
Oh I laughed so much at the thought of staying at a B&B & being forced to interact with the owner & do their chores. This is $300 a night plus fence repairs & an awkward dinner 😂😂
My sister worked with my “Adrian” when I was 15. She kept telling me she was gonna get us together. She ended up dating him. I feel ya, Lex.
Sisters like this usually do shit like this often. It’s to be expected.
The actress who played Lexi, Melissa Bergland, was in an Aussie sitcom called Winners and Losers and unfortunately was cast in the same “quirky fat girl” role.
ok but ‘dumplin’ is *chef’s kiss* and we all love dolly parton
ALSO haven’t watched it yet but ‘piggy’ is supposed to be like a big girl horror movie? that actually looks really good?
the worst portrayal of “fat friend” has got to be ‘sleepover’ tho
dumplin' is fantastic
i just made a comment about dumplin' bc I hadn't seen any yet! AMAZING movie. moved someone who doesn't cry in general to tears (its me, I'm someone lol)
Piggy is 7/10 worth the watch but it also defiantly uses fat tropes (she's always bingeing pastries). A lot of scenes made me uncomfortable and had me trying to figure out if it was an exploitation film, but I realized that maybe that said more about me as a viewer and possibly that was the films intent.
@@Terrasssss gonna get blasted for it but,
the RUSSIAN!1!1! film "I am Losing Weight"
I watched “worty dirk boots” 50 times. This was my life today. Thank you for leaving that in. Love your channel ❤
Thought it was wordy lol. I can’t hear.
i was looking for this comment 😂 i died
I was kinda hoping she'd lean into it for a sec. WERTY DERK BERTS
Oh my god, the ‘Are you happy and you know it’ just completely caught me off guard 😂😂 Can’t stop laughing
I cried at that one 😂
Anytime you break up an awkward scene with the Michael Jordan “Stop it!”, I die😂. It always come right before my breaking point of uncomfiness. Also, the “Disgusting!” is always gold.
The M.J. clip ALWAYS gets me as well 🤣🤣🤣
I am so over the fat stereotypes in Hollywood as well. >hard eye roll< I’m a big girl & have never been desperate nor had a problem getting a good looking man. So dumb. Plus the red hair was STUNNING & she was so pretty. Can’t wait to see a plus size character not being a stereotype in a movie & be recognized as an awesome movie.
Right? My ex husband literally told me he wasn't attracted to me any more after having his child... Lots of couples therapy and tears later I left him. Met my bf and he is just *chef's kiss*. Hot and nerdy. Best combo. looks great and super goofy and loves me for me.
Fat girls are better in the sack. Skinny girls are self-conscious: "does my a** look fat in this position?" We already know we are fat. We will just GO TO TOWN.
Right? All I want is a fat actress cast in an awesome lead role that has nothing to do with losing weight
@@GinaD0726 I'm glad you've found somebody better. I hope someday I will, too.
My ex stopped wanting me when I got pregnant. We had a healthy baby, which made him very happy. However, he was no longer attracted to me and he would never admit it. He was too much of a "nice guy" to admit it. But I gained weight after the baby, and he just started treating me like his platonic responsibility. The only reason he would sleep with me again was to try and have another baby. I had a miscarriage the second time I got pregnant. I had post partum depression both times, but I was trying to pretend to be happy because he didn't want to deal with it. We stayed together as long as we did just for our only daughter's sake. She never had a sibling because he would never sleep with me again after I had the miscarriage. He wouldn't even talk to me or look at me, if he could help it. But he still smiled and pretended to be nice. Eventually he broke up with me. He refused to go to counseling or work on our relationship. When I pressed him on why, he just said he's unhappy because I'm fat and lazy. Thanks, Mr. "nice guy". Glad youre so "nice."
@@themaggattack yep. My ex was the "nice guy" as well. I get that. I really tried so hard with him and he just would not put in any effort to work with me. So while I tell people my truth, that he did the absolute bare minimum when it came to our relationship, taking care of our child, and helping with house hold duties, he tells people we just "fell out of love". I heard him say it to one of his friends and I realized that HE fell out of love and that's why he didn't change. That's why he made no efforts. Because I was definitely still in love with him. And it sucks knowing that a major reason he "fell out of love" was because of my body changing after I had our son. He married me. He made a promise that he'd love me unconditionally. Well, apparently he had conditions and the most important thing to him was staying thin (Though when we met, he was in the USMC and he sure as shit doesn't look the same as he did back then. But *I* didn't marry for looks). What kind of man does that to the mother of his child? What kind of HUSBAND does that to his wife? I'm sorry you had to go through that but you will definitely find someone who loves all of you. Every piece. Until then, learn to love yourself again. Give yourself the love you weren't getting.
Flashback: the hubs and I stayed at a beautiful B&B in Maine once, and we thought the owners were so nice to offer to cook us breakfast. What we didn’t know, was that they would proceed to eat said cooked breakfast with us, EVERY SINGLE MORNING. Literally, all five days, at 5:30 in the FREAKIN morning for like four hours. I’m not an introvert, but I prayed every morning a giant hole would appear and swallow us up!
Four hours!!! 😳😳😳😬😬😬 That's torture!!!
Hell. You were in hell.
Why didn’t you get up, thank them, and then go
about your day?
Am I missing something? I thought the hosts were *SUPPOSED* to make breakfast for the guests of their...bed and breakfast?
So, were they available to make breakfast from 5:30am-9:30am every day, or did they want everyone to stay & eat for 4 hours? The 1st seems normal, the latter very odd indeed. 😄
@@brendaleelydon I am guessing they're referring to sitting and eating with the guests, which can be pretty awkward.
I have never heard another person relate to the experience of being told "you're so modest" by different family members who were pointing it out as some sort of personality quirk or flaw. That really sucked. It still sucks. Thanks for sharing that one.
As a Canadian, I’m both embarrassed at the quality of this movie AND thrilled at the cast - it’s a complete who’s who of Canadian celebrities! Especially excited to see Joel Thomas Hynes! But what a 💩 storm of insulting stereotypes. Ugh. You made it hilarious though! 😆
I was like "oh its Snake!" "Everybody wants somethingggg" lol
Jonathan Torrens too, J Roc!!
I remember in HS, when my friends would constantly disregard my feelings. If I called them out for things they did to me that people did to them that aren't nice, they would say I was being dramatic and overly sensitive.
Gaslighting friends.
I think I had the same friend group in high school. When I met up with them for coffee ten years later (after my mother saw one of them out shopping and gave her my phone number AND address *seethe*), it felt so good to just get up and leave when they started mocking my clothes, my hair, and my body the way they used to.
@@JutaStokes God! They haven’t changed in all that time? That’s sad! Wonder if they think that is acceptable and friendly behavior because they were conditioned to by their own family. Happy people don’t try to put someone down. They only put down someone because they want to feel good by bringing someone low.
@@MADEbySOUL It was so weird! I was a whole different person, and they hadn't grown up. It really boosted my self-esteem, to be honest, and made me so grateful for the people I had in my life as an adult.
YES! I have a friend that says something hurtful or gives backhanded compliments and when I call her out on it she says it's because of my own insecurity 😳 I've confided in her when people hurt my feelings by saying something about my looks and it's as if she takes exactly what hurt my feelings and does the same thing. It's so wierd! Then I'm the overly sensitive person in a bad place for calling her out on it. 🤦🏼♀️
I'm surprised no one fell down in this movie. 😂
14:47 I'm lying here in full corona and you made me laugh crying 😂 DYING
This video gave me a realisation - for medical reasons I have barely been able to eat for most of my life, and though I now realise I was probably 'slim' before (didn't think so at the time), since I started actually being able to eat 12 months ago I've gained a significant amount of weight and it's been distressing to see myself change so dramatically. But there is nothing wrong with slowly adjusting to eating like a regular person! It's okay to enjoy all the things I've been denied my entire life! Most people go a little crazy when such heavy restrictions are lifted and.. that's okay. I am okay, I can cope with this and with the choice of being 'slim' or not being in constant agony, I know which one I would choose.
I don't judge others for their weight, so it would be nice if I could learn to extend that grace to myself, too. Thanks Jaime, for giving me this understanding.
I've also been dealing with health issues that caused pain and discomfort for a couple years,and there were times I just chose not to eat to avoid pain. With that came fatigue, malnutrition, and weight loss.
A little while ago I was able to take an antibiotic treatment, and since then I've been able to incorporate a lot of different foods into my diet again, and I'm eating 3 times a day again. With that can cause weight gain. At the moment I'm just trying to maintain, and have plans to loose weight in a healthy way, but I have to offer myself grace when I gain weight, because it's to be expected. So glad you're doing better! 💜
Well you should keep an eye and not gain more weight because obesity kills people and ruins their lives. It's not about looks, it's about your health and quality of life.
I found it also stereotypical that the man who would be interested in the main character was dating a heavier set girl too. Implying he has a type... 🙄
Also implying (actually not just implying- saying it bluntly) that she should lower her standards. "Fat girl" should settle for anyone who would be into fat girls even, if he's super creepy, because that's the best "fat girl" is ever gonna get. Stocker and Farty guy are the ones who ended up with fat women. Because OBVIOUSLY, an attractive, "normal" guy would NEVER. 🤨 I hate this trope.
Or, you know, he just found another beautiful woman he's attracted to. And some people do have a type they love. It's not that deep.
@@plumdutchess types is fetishization. The point is it's weird.
Most people DO have a type, there is nothing wrong with that.
@@beefortebrea9386 oh Cheetos you're one of those "if you don't date trans people you're a bigot" types aren't you 😂?
This one was hilarious. I would never pee in front of my sister. 😳 Also, as a pleasantly plump woman I own bowls and wouldn't eat my ice cream direct from the container. 🍨🍨🍨
I'm pleasantly plump and TOTALLY eat from my container. It's just me and my man, so we share 😂❤
Me and my boyfriend or me and my mom always share container, specially me and my depression we love sharing a container of mint chocolare chip or strawberry, or cream and chocolate chip... im kinda ice cream addict
Aww don’t worry, you could still experience “Relative Happiness”………or at least your “Relative’s could experience Happiness” I totally feel that last part way too real lol
I love morbid and dark humor,maybe it’s a coping mechanism but you’re the person I want to sit In the corner with at every wake moving forward.
As an overweight person: I’ve never looked for a a character in a film to be relatable because of their size. However, I will say there was a moment in the Netflix show “Insatiable” that really got to me BECAUSE it portrayed exactly what I struggle with and I was so shocked I broke down in tears of sadness. It was like looking in a mirror and it really hit home
I had the same experience! That show was shockingly insightful
Same! I feel like people who criticized it b/c of the way it "portrayed fat people" aren't fat themselves. I found it extremely relatable and very true to my experience!
about the hospital scene... when the music was getting started and everyone burst out "crying" I LEGIT thought they burst out laughing for some reason! So naturally I burst out laughing thinking it was maybe a cut scene or seomthing
Yes!! Especially the lady on the right! I was so confused why they were laughing when Jamie just said the dad died. 😂 The acting in this movie is obviously top notch. Lol.
Please never stop doing these movie reviews! One of the best series on UA-cam for sure!
I appreciate your content, and your amazing sense of humor.
I loved all your makeup and beauty content as well! But I'm glad you have found your thing! And you do it so well!
Your videos always make me laugh out loud and I can't thank you enough for that.
Much love from Montana 💚
The fart sound effects being compared had me cackling 🤣🤣
Oh god let me dry my tears here.. anyways!!!
Thank You for always providing us with QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT Jaime! I think you're fantastic and always enjoy your movie reviews ❤ My fiancé and I always watch them together :)
Honestly I think Heavyweights is a 90s classic! It portrays how unhealthy it is to push people (especially kids) into rigorous exercise for the sole purpose of physical appearance.
Obviously the unstopped urge to eat is exaggerated, but making being active fun at the end is a plus 👍
Mainly I just think Ben Stiller’s performance is chaotic gold. Considering it is a 90s movie (granted, I haven’t seen it in a long time), it could be worse. It was one of my favs as a kid due to ridiculousness
K I’m done byeeee 😊
I love heavyweights!
I vote Jamie reviews this movie in the future!
@@edanrice9798 yes!!!
I loved that movie too! I thought it was funny that she brought it up because I was just thinking about rewatching it. But now I feel kind of guilty for liking it, because of all of the stereotypes
@@queencleopatra007 Don't feel guilty. It's a great movie. Bask in the nostalgia 💯 and also, RIP Jerry Stiller 💕
I am so glad you are relatable over weight and you make me laugh. My weight is literally my biggest insecurity and I felt so heard regarding the ice cream and how I must be eating 24/7. Everyone else in my family eats more than I do, but you wouldn’t know it from looking at me.
Same. My older sister eats so much rice (we're Asian) and my younget sister eats a family bag of chips everyday. I eat one to two meals a day but I'm fat. Lol well... anyway
Yes!!!! This exactly.
Same ❤❤❤
I hope you find the drive to start exercising and eating healthy meals. There are reasons for bodies being the way they are. Anybody can maintain a healthy body type, given the effort.
@@Aschuu please don’t make assumptions about people. I’m physically disabled and have been for the last 10 years and can only stand or walk for about 5 minutes now. My fibula is bowing from a previous injury (and a list longer than I’d like to admit of disabling health conditions), and I’ve been advised by my Drs to not exercise as it can worsen my condition. I’m also on 3 Rx meds with weight gain as a side effect. The only time in my entire life I was ever skinny was newborn to 4. I had to be given many rounds of Rx steroids as I was a very sick little kid, and I have memories at age 5 of hiding under the table to not take my steroids because I already knew they were making me gain weight. At age 5, I was already worried about my weight and how I wasn’t like other kids. As an younger adult, I ate healthy and walked over 5 miles a day, lifted extremely heavy engine and transmission parts, and stood on thick concrete for hours at a a time when I worked as an engineer for Toyota and I was still overweight. There are plenty of others that are doing all the things with both exercise and eating and are still overweight.
hey Jaime i love your videos!- This movie reminded me of Dumplin' (2018), but this ones not so stereotypical: "The plus-size, teenage daughter of a former beauty queen signs up for her mom's pageant as a protest that escalates when other contestants follow in her footsteps, revolutionising the pageant as well as their small Texas town." + she loves Dolly Parton so, icon
Wordy Dirk Boots 😂 one time when asking a server for a lemon wedge, I asked instead for a “women ledge”
There’s a movie called “Queen Size“ and the main character is the girl that played Tracy in “Hairspray“.
Nick DiRamio did a GREAT vid on that for his clip breakdown lmao
The original hairspray is an awesome movie!!!
And there is an ice cream gorging scene in that too!....mint chocolate chip
Her name is Nikki Blonsky. I really enjoyed that movie. Plot is that a fat girl runs for Homecoming Queen. Touches on several issues and imo very well done except final resolve to lose weight and
"get healthy." I realized at 20 ( now 53 ) that your body is like your house; you live in it, but It's not what makes you you.
@@theresas740 still not a bad idea to get healthy.
4 memories from when I lived in Los Angeles that has always clarified for me why Hollywood doesn't understand what healthy weight people let alone heavy people are like.
1. My ultra rich roommate was talking to her ultra rich friend about how happy she was that she made it to a size -2. That isn't a size 2, it is negative 2. As in less than size 00. If you're rich enough the stores on Rodeo Drive sell negative sizes.
2. Overhearing a girl say, "If you're a size 6, you might as well be a size 36."
3. Having a group of women look at me weird for eating my entire food at a restaurant. Looked around and realized socially that the most I should eat is half my plate. Even that was much more than what most women ate.
4. Going to a fancy boutique with ultra rich roommate and seeing some beautiful glass sticks for sale. She explained to a confused me that they were to help you throw up after eating so you didn't have to get vomit on your hand and risk smelling.
Yikes
WTF?! You just made me think of my cousins wedding to a native Angelino. The whole wedding her friends made weird toasts and comments about her disordered eating, like her BFF made a speech about how she doesn’t eat much so that she can get her food boxed up to give to a homeless person, and that even though she hates food, she went to McDonald’s to go get McFlurries for everyone a party, even though she wouldn’t eat one herself. There were weird “jokes” from her family during dinners that she “just doesn’t eat” and that it has nothing to do with the wedding. At the actual wedding dinner, each table had a different set of childhood photo pairings of her and my cousin at different ages from babyhood to senior year of high school. You could literally see the time frame of her going from healthy looking to literally gaunt. I was seated at a table includig my parents and mom’s cousin, and his wife just started taking really loudly about how she obviously was anorexic and needed help…and everyone at the table was letting her go on. I had to snap at her to shut it down because even though she very clearly had an eating disorder, how the hell would it help to gossip loudly about it on her literal wedding day?! I felt so badly for her, but I guess that’s the price to pay when you’re wealthy and grow up in Los Angeles.
I have questions about 4: a) Who puts glass in their mouth and part way down their throat? b) Risk your hand smelling? They don't wash their hands after they stick it in their mouth to vomit?
Not trolling... serious questions. I haven't been to LA.
Who was your roommate, Paris Hilton 😂
@@MyFranktacularPugI was wondering about the glass. If for some reason you were gonna stick something down your throat to induce vomiting, aren't there better materials to use than glass? Something more shatter-proof.
"Well, that was a steaming pile of fun..." is my new favorite line
What I love most about Jamie's videos is the Banjo Kazooie sound effects that are strategically placed in there to make me choke on my chips
Awesome review, Jaime! I love your content so much, but I do want to comment on something. I was always skinny, so I was never mocked for my weight. However, aside from my body, I was the least attractive girl in my group of friends. I’ve sat at tables where I was the only girl who didn’t get asked to dance, and guys routinely asked for my friends’ phone numbers. Once, a group of guys yelled out the car window at me, “Nice legs, shame about the face,” which was a popular song in the 1980s. I’ve been judged for not being pretty and have lots of shameful memories. Being different and not fitting into stereotypical female norms is really hard when you’re young. It still stings today, and I’m in my 60s.
I feel this on a soul level. I'm skinny, but ugly. Sigh. Sucks.
Some people just SUCK. I'm so sorry people have made you feel like that. The TRUTH is though... beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you're not in the "club scene" or Hollywood, there are people who think you're ugly, and there are people who think you're gorgeous. Just park at Walmart for awhile, and watch people. There are people who don't fit the Hollywood stereotype of "pretty" and they're holding hands with they're partner with a string of kids behind them. I've met people who think Brad Pitt is unattractive. I think Ricky Gervais is hot as hell. Point is, in the real world, each individual person has individual likes and dislikes, All you gotta do is stay away from the fake, narcissistic, loud minority (club scenes, and Hollywood, ie: the media)
The effed up thing is how absolutely subjective beauty is. People can be cruel but I guarantee there's also people out there who think you're beautiful
Really? I used to be really skinny and people commented negatively quite often.
@designchik I'm sorry you felt like that when you were growing up, I was the same for much of my teens. I later realised that 'ugly' is a load of rubbish, because all the features I hated on myself (nose, jaw etc) I never had a problem with on my family members who shared them. I always thought my bestie was beautiful, even when she wasn't making an effort to look conventionally attractive. Truth is most of us just look normal, and when we get to know each other we find a certain smile beautiful, or a dimple, or a laugh. I hope you are rocking your 60s, just knowing you look totally great :)
Jaime I will always appreciate your hard work. I’m going through a really hard 7 year break up and the hardest is falling asleep alone and your voice is so soothing and comforting. you make me giggle more than one would before bed(especially at a hard time in life) I will forever thank you❤️
❤❤❤
Sending hugs and well wishes. 💖💖💖💖💖💖
I really appreciate that I could watch this trusting you would have a good take. At no point did I have to be anxious you'd suddenly turn my body into a punch line. A low bar, but one that isn't met in most places.
I've been binging these for 5 days now. How have I only just discovered Jamie!? Love the commentary...Mystery Science Theater 2000 vibes and I LOVE IT
I actually credit Rebel Wilson’s Isn’t It Romantic with helping me accept my body for the first time - skinny and plus sized - and realizing that my most important love story is with myself ❤️
Your sense of humor is legendary. Equal parts relatable and hilarious. This channel is my comfort food. If I ate half as much as I watch these videos they'd make one of these movies about me.
Ok soooo I am so so glad I stumbled across you!! I was babysitting and bored…yeh that sounds bad but she was sleeping, anyways I watched one vid of you and couldn’t stop. I have not laughed this hard in soooo long so thank you! You are a natural comedian and come off so damn lovable!! Your fam is lucky to have you!
“Maroon Tights” killed me every time
You’re absolutely stunning Jamie. I’m sorry that you were ever made to feel less than.
Jaime is gorgeous!!!
BUT WAIT, are you telling me she didn't fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what is the world
Omg no fall! What is happening?! 😂
Is there sound? I hear nothing haha ***EDIT*** there is sound now. Thank you, Jamie!!
Same
I hear it..
You might have to watch it with your earbuds.
None for me either.
There's definitely sound.
ugh Jaime you always make my day!
(also the world neeeeeeeds you to do a short of Jennifer Coolidge’s new Old Navy commercial)
when her Dad said "don't be so modest"" I almost fell out of my chair, is that Mr.Big from Sex and the City playing Dad or is that just his doppelganger? XD
Jamie, I laughed so hard when I realized who the sisters "old man" fiance was! 😆 Not sure if there are any Canadian's here but that was Jonathan Torrens! Rob Wells is in the movie also. They're both in the show The Trailer Park Boys and Torrens has been in tons of popular Canadian TV shows in the 90's/00's! Canadian TV legends! Pretty sure they'd be happy to go unrecognized in this one 😂😂
Fellow Canadian here!! So happy we got to see him in this!!! TBP is finally getting the recognition it badly deserves
Oh Canada, eh? My father was part of the scenic art department for this movie when it was being produced down here in Nova Scotia. That purple fence they "painted" was actually painted by my dad. So many great Canadian actors in this movie actually, both big and small, that we've been lucky enough to work with over the years on different projects.
@@caitdug very cool! I just moved to NS, didn't know this was filmed here. But I did know this is a pretty popular filming location. I mean, of course, it's gorgeous here. Very cool! Love finding Canadian easter eggs out in the wild 😆😆
Omg! He's from Mr. D!
Omg look at that completely normal sized gorgeous woman! Let’s make a movie in which she is portrayed as something else! Ughh so frustrating that the world is like that but thank goodness for our sweet girl Jaime. I love you! You are the best at balancing all these crazy stereotypes and making the best fun at how freaking ridiculous their comments are
Right!!
But, she's not a normal size....
@@lazyvipurr4698 What's normal to you. The national average? Or just what you like? Is it based off of your own body type? I'm simply curious.
18:08
Thank you Jamie! I am a little late to this one- but I made it.
Another great video!! Nap in a kayak could be the next cake by the ocean 🎉
This was such a great video! Your comedic timing is just incredible
Oh no! The sound 😂😂😂
People have their favorite parts of Jaime videos. The Michael Jordan "stop it", the Prince "oh!" ..mine is the sad bad recorder playing of My Heart Will Go On. Gets me every time!
Edit: we had live music at work Friday and dude announced they'd be playing a Chris Stapleton song and I pictured you in your disguise because I don't actually know Chris Stapleton lol
I enjoyed the use of !!!!1 in this episode.
@@joniharrison9492 Yes, More nostalgia!! 🤣 online chat vibes
I am partial to "PEAKABOO"
I have a friend who is a big Chris Stapleton fan, I showed her the video and she lost it. 😂
I am not even ONE bit mad that the “kindred fart spirit” back and forth made me laugh so hard I peed - thank you Jamie 🤣 💩 ♥️
Just got out of a dv situation and separated now going through my stuff selling most and your videos had me laughing I almost forgot that sound - Ty for lightening my mood and making this time not as trying ❤
Genuinely cannot thank you enough for entertaining me so consistently
,and for making my night filled with joy, you're so talented, I admire your dedication to your craft, you're gorgeous, and by far the funniest UA-camr that I've ever seen in my entire almost 32 years XX Steven
Omg thank you 🥹
@@jaimefrenchofficial there's absolutely no reason to thank me for just stating the facts, lovely! PS I do have a husband, I'm not hitting on you, but you would definitely be my type if I were into the women's 😇xx Steven
@@jaimefrenchofficial but in all seriousness, like why haven't you tried out for SNL yet?! I'm genuinely curious, lovely XX Steven
Bahaha the “fart” soundbite had me rolling! Jaime you are the only UA-camr that makes me actually laugh. ❤ you
Jaime, I really like your content. You always make me feel less lonely and I enjoy reliving some of these movies through your perspective. Thank you for being a creator and don't let the haters drag you down ever ever. You're gorgeous and funny and awkwardly cool.
This was wonderful. I love your support for overweight people. I cracked up over “wig hat” way too many times.
I love your take on Lexie's Canadian accent even more, knowing that the actress is Australian!
(Also: please consider reviewing some 90s Aussie films - they're weird and wonderful)
As someone who’s made the mistake of being a third wheel while camping, I wish I could have just rolled away. That part made me laugh so much 😂
Thank you for bringing laughter to my Wednesday, Jaime!
Your videos save me from anxiety attacks (literally) ily & I appreciate you💜
I don't know why but your voice is so soothing that I keep falling
asleep while watching this video. I genuinely want to watch the whole thing but i keep falling asleep haha
This is so accurate. As a former big girl I was always portraied like the girl in the movie, even was too shy to order food when I was hungry at some point in my life because I don't want anyone to think that I am constantly eating. Now that I lost a bunch of weight I STILL geht so many comment about my body, people judging that I need to stop working out or "do you want to become a stick?" I am so angry about all of these stupid stereotypes and certainly this movie triggered my inner big girl. But your comments made it funny Jamie I love all of your reviews much that you still made me laugh even with a triggering topic like this ♥️
This is amazing! I'm a long time watcher/patreon subscriber, and I'm Canadian!! I recognize many of these characters. The most famous ones are the best friend, she is from This Hour Has 22 Minutes, and her sisters fiance was JRoc from Trailer Park Boys!!! ❤️❤️ It's stills a crappy movie though lmao thanks for watching it for us!!
Edit: OMG the PC (Presidents Choice) brand ice cream she was eating in the beginning caught my eye right away!! It's not often we see brands from our home like that in media 🥰
Ah I wish I had seen your comment before I posted mine! I noticed the PC logo right away 😅
I saw the PC logo too 😂 I live in Nova Scotia right near the original trailer park where trailer park Boys was filmed in the early seasons. I'm also in the same town we're Vollies was filmed and saw "Jroc" almost every day for a couple weeks. Lol. Good old Canadian TV 😉
@@kyavner ngl. Super jealous 🤣😅
The best friend character was also in trailer park boys! I loved her in that, she played Ricky's crazy girlfriend at one point.
@@uschilou oh mah God, I can't believe I forgot about that!! 🤣🤣🤣 she's Canadian gold ❤️
movies like this remind me of high school in the 90s when i wore hoodies all year because i was so worried about getting teased, poked,pinched..etc...even nurses, when I'd go in for checkups or if I was sick, would say "wow, you hide your weight well" ..like ...uh...🙄
♥️Thank you for reviewing this - it's like you have righted the wrong of this movie ...you rock, keep doing everything you do ! ♥️
Thank you Jaime. Love your content, especially these reviews. Looking forward to another video with your bird.
JAIME I literally had a horrible fucking day and I just want to run away for 2 weeks but you uploaded today and I have a shred of hope for life now thank u
❤
Jaime, your movie roasting ability is top-notch and also the social commentary that is analogous
I’ve been watching your videos for the last few weeks now and I’ve finally SUBSCRIBED cause you just crack me up!
YOUR MESSY BUNS ARE ALWAYS SO CUTEEEEE
As a Canadian, I demand more Canadian accents from you!
I have had a hard week and I was just thinking a little bit ago that I could really use a new video from you. Thanks Jaime! ❤
I am absolutely BEGGING you to do the new Lindsay Lohan movie “Falling For Christmas”!!! It gets worse with every passing minute you watch it. I especially love the scene where she asks for a blow dryer and then the next cut away is of her blow drying her already blowdried/styled hair.
Once stayed in an air bnb that was advertised as a 1 bed apartment.
What they neglected to mention was that the owner of the flat would also be there... sleeping on the sofa and making 1 to 1 dinners. On the last day she asked me to help her put up some wallpaper.
Sorry Jaime, the sound doesn't seem to be working on my end either. Fingers crossed it gets sorted! Hopefully you're well ❤️🌹
Would love to watch a movie with one of my fellow plus-size girls as a normal leading lady, where the whole movie doesn't center around her size. If anyone knows of any let me know!
I just put my bestest dog down yesterday. I’m dying inside. But you made me laugh today. Thank you for that.
6:15 wirty dirk boots 😂 the sound effect n ur face kill me lmaooo
Came here thinking this was going to be “Fat Like Me”, but was satisfied to hear the shout out. They shot that in my high school, but nobody is proud of that. You should review Shallow Hal cause that movie is WILD.
I actually kind of like the concept of Lexi amd Josh (the guy who likes her for her being right in front of her all along) but it was so badly and awkwardly executed...
Haha! I forgot about the old man joke! Laughed so loud. Also can we get a subscription ad for us premium peeps
Couldn't help but notice your Alaska pullover in the Hello Fresh ad! I'm originally from Anchorage!
