Priča govori o povučenom učitelju engleskog, ozbiljno pretilom, koji se bori sa zdravstvenim problemima te se pokušava ponovno povezati sa svojom otuđenom sedamnaestogodišnjom kćeri. Nju i njezinu majku ostavio je prije mnogo godina, zbog veze s muškarcem.
Mladić Hal (J. Black) izrazito je kritičan pri izboru djevojaka, a jedini mu je bitan kriterij njihov vanjski izgled. Kako ni sam nije pretjerano zgodan, djevojke ga uglavnom ignoriraju. Jednoga dana susreće gurua Tonyja Robbinsa koji mu pokušava objasniti kako nije sve u izgledu. No Hal ne razumije što mu guru govori, pa mu ovaj usadi moć prepoznavanja unutarnje ljepote djevojaka. Od tog se trenutka Halov život potpuno mijenja. Ljepotice kojima prilazi više nisu ni približno hladne kao prije, a neke čak i nepozvane prilaze k njemu. Problem je u tome što je vanjska ljepota koju Hal vidi ustvari unutarnja ljepota, tj. dobrota tih djevojaka, dok su djevojke izvana po općem mišljenju izrazito neprivlačne. Njegovom najboljem prijatelju Mauriciu (J. Alexander) nikako nije jasno kako se Hal može zabavljati s tako neprivlačnim ženama. A uskoro će ga šokirati i spoznaja da se Hal do ušiju zaljubio u pretilu Rosemary (G. Paltrow).
