I saw this film when it first played on television. It impressed me so much that, in December of 2001, I can still vividly recall some scenes from the film.
Stockard Channing is exceptional as "The Girl Most Likely to..." get revenge on everyone who ever hurt her feelings. As an overweight frump, she gains the pity of the viewer. After a life-altering event, she begins a new life as a great looking, sensuous woman. Systematically, she cleverly eliminates the bullies of her past life.
THIS IS FICTION, so it should never be confused with a viable resolution to one's problems. It is a comedy, and it is meant to be viewed as a comedy. The delightful resolution truly is the icing on this multi-layered cake.
