I'm not a big fan of Rosie in real life, but I love her character in this movie, Doris Murphy. Doris is a bigger girl, and a lot less traditionally feminine than the other girls. One memorable part of the movie has her explaining to another character why she stayed in a bad relationship, just because he was the first guy to look past the tomboy, good-at-sports exterior and actually see her as a woman.
In that moment, she thinks about it, and decides she shouldn't settle--there are too many better things for her. So she tosses his picture out the bus window with a simple, "So long, Charlie"
Doris proves that bigger girls aren't just fat, lazy slobs. She's athletic and strong, a devoted teammate and friend.
