65% of Americans are overweight. Only 35% are "normal weight" for their height. Therefore, in the United States, being overweight IS the norm.
Anyone who doesn't see that simply hasn't been paying attention. They need to get out of mom's basement once in a while and get out into the real world. -

I had this exact same discussion on the Katie Featherston/Paranormal Activity boards. No one wants to admit they have a weight problem or are fat.
I've been on both sides.
Normally an in shape natural body builder, but when I'm off of my working out rhythm, I bulk up, and admittedly, am fat. The thing is, friends will say I look average. When I hear that, I know I'm fat, because as mentioned, 65% of the population is overweight, and probably 90% of that 65% is in denial.
They confuse average with healthy. If the average is unhealthy, that doesn't make the norm a good thing.
It was interesting, the first thought watching this film was like the OP, and seeing the AVERAGE sized cast made me reflect on PA and Katie F. -

People aren't paying attention to that because they have more constructive things to do than put down other people. You will not go far in life with your whiny/insulting personality.
Edit: I know this is an old post and hopefully you have matured since then. -

lol Must be one of those Americans for whom obesity is the norm.
lol must be another bigot who puts down an entire country to prove they are better. Sad
Secondly for calling people fat and being obnoxious because someone defends them. Good grief. Get out of the 8th grade. -

lol Must be one of those Americans for whom obesity is the norm. Ever heard of the expression "height-weight proportionate"?
Oh for FFS! Consider yourself ignored, troll.
Don't let anyone ever make you feel like you don't deserve what you want. -

This movie takes place in the US, so why shouldn't normal Americans be represented?

I saw only one chubby guy, the detective.
And from my experience, many detectives are just like that.
Which is a good thing.
It made the man likeable, no tough straight jawed mr muscle guy, but a nice guy.
One of the women was pregnant so that is a pretty good reason to be chubby.
Real women don't keep a stick figure when pregnant.
Complaining about mistakes is almost as bad as complaining about complaining about mistakes. -

If you think both female leads were overweight, you have issues.
Callie wasn't a goddamn walking skeleton, so of course she must have been a tubbie.
Apparently there is no middle ground for this jagoff after all. -

Another sensitive tubby who wants to pretend only two extremes exist: the morbidly obese (which he undoubtedly considers "normal," and "real") and the disturbingly anorexic. Psst..tell ya a secret There's such a thing as being the appropriate weight given your height, gender and yes, your genetics.
And if you did not see both women were obviously overweight, you should visit an eye doctor.

Are you really this stupid, or are you just pretending? And why do stupid assholes like you always think anyone else gives a **** about your opinion?
There are 8.2 billion people in the world. 8.19 billion of them have never heard of and don't give a fuck about Charlie Kirk. Get over it.
