Jack Black, while being a very funny guy and good actor, just isn't "conventionally" Hollywood attractive. As if we women (and men) don't have enough to feel self conscious about. Not only did they portray "Ugly" woman as fat with bad skin and big noses,they also portrayed "Beautiful" women as being mega-bitches with a whip.
