I think I was 11 or 12 when I last saw those numbers on a scale. Anywho...I was working in a bookstore when this book first came out, and though she was fiction, many readers went from reading BJD to David Sedaris to quench that need for 1st person narratives. Sedaris, however, writes about his real life, and <i>Me Talk Pretty Someday</i> is a good one. Oh my, 140? I think I was 11 or 12 when I last saw those numbers on a scale.

Figures! I think she weighs around 140 in the movie...? Still, I don't think either of those are overweight--I passed those numbers long ago, lol! hmm, so they lowered her weight in the US version?

I love the movie as well and watch it often! The book of The Edge of Reason is better than the movie, but not as good at BJD. I think I read somewhere a while ago (a quick google search didn't bring it up) that she weighs more in the UK version of the book than the US version. I agree, 130 is definitely not overweight.
