what 's most refreshing about real women have curves is its unforced comedy-drama and its relaxed , natural-seeming actors . | 2 | Positive |
surprisingly insightful | 2 | Positive |
to those who have not read the book , the film is a much better mother-daughter tale than last summer 's ` divine secrets of the ya-ya sisterhood , ' but that 's not saying much . | 2 | Positive |

earnest yet curiously tepid and choppy recycling in which predictability is the only winner . | 0 | Negative |

a film really has to be exceptional to justify a three hour running time , and this is n't . | 0 | Negative |
