4.0 out of 5 stars a sweet popcorn film, March 17, 2008

I had no expectations of the film when i started to watch but the young girl who played Hanna was adorable and drew me in to caring what happened to her character. Yes it is a bit cliche and yes the premise of this film has been done several hundred times in different ways but I really liked the film. It has a very sincere message about being liked for who you are on the inside. Its a sweet piece of cinema and I will gladly watch it again on a rainy day when I don't want to think too hard.

BE CAREFUL-This was zoned so it wouldn't play on my U.S. zoned dvd/blu-ray player. Had to watch it on the computer. Still a great movie. It would have been nice to know it was not zoned for U.S. play before I bought it. Still my new favorite movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars 200 Pounds Beauty - A Morality Tale, January 18, 2010

This movie is a morality tale, told with warmth and humor. Miss Kim Ah Joong, a Republic of Korea singer/model/actress, has the lead role, as "Hanna." A famous "singer" actually lip-syncs the lyrics while Hanna sings the songs back stage. Hanna is secretly in love with her music producer, but she believes she has no chance with him unless she loses weight. Hanna goes into secusion in a hospital for one year while she has plastic surgery. She emerges as a beautiful and slender woman, now known as "Jenny," who is not even recognized by her best friend.

Miss Kim won "Best Actress Award" for this movie, and she sings her own songs. Her voice has a lovely sound, and is capable of a wide range. She is a very beautiful, sweet-faced young woman with a charming manner and a lovely voice.

My favorite song is the one Jenny sings in an audition for a job as singer with the producer she loves.

Miss Kim shows in this movie that she is a wonderful comic and dramatic actress. She has so many good scenes in the movie that it is difficult to site any particular one, but I suppose the first scene with her dog, named "Love," is one of the best. I also especially enjoyed the scene where she wears her first new outfit as a slender woman.

The movie is entirely in Korean except for the lyrics of one song, "She's a Beautiful Girl," which is mostly sung by Miss Kim in English. The movie does have English subtiles.

I highly recommend this movie for everyone.
