Although times and culture have changed dramatically since this movie was released back in the early 2000's, especially as to what is considered offensive or not, the underlying message portrayed in this still remains strong and relevant. Vanity and shallowness have gone exponential in line with the rise of mobile phones, and yet, to acknowledge this vanity and make fun of it now is taboo. The movie exposes the brutal reality of this shallowness that is rampant across the dating scene, and probably even more so in the world of internet dating. Steriotypical tropes and risqué humour aside, the moral of this story is an important wake-up call for all those in search of a life partner.
