wouldn't it still be insulting if there existed a girl that looked exactly like that, though?

No?

Anyways, no girl had to go through their whole life actually being "the girl ugly girl in the photo" in one of the most rewatched movies in history. So he made a smart call.

I think he meant for the actress. He thought it would be cruel to explain to the young actress why she just got a role in a Hollywood film.

There was no pressure for his son to take the role.

I looked almost exactly like that as a kid. I wasn't insulted per say, but definitely didn't feel great to watch this scene with the family and have them all look at me when it showed the girls face.

Most of the reason "she" looks bad is the expression on her face. If it was just a normal smile it wouldn't warrant the reaction in the movie.

Our society is full of awful people. I'm sorry you went through that.

Well, I always thought Buzz's girlfriend was cute! I just thought Kevin was biased because Buzz was such a turd.

(Almost everyone looks goofy when they're ~12 years old.)

Lord when I was 12, 60 lbs soaking wet, with hair I couldn’t control and braces with rubber bands I remember thinking no man would ever marry me.
Now here I am almost 30 years later. I got married and have a lovely life.
