Why did she go for Lou anyway?



I never quite understood that. Mrs. Flax was a bombshell, and she liked Lou?!!!
He was OK looking in an average way, but she could get almost anyone she wanted!


"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

Well she did say he was a sexy guy....LOL But now that I think about it, sometimes personality goes a long way.

YOU MADE ME PLAY SECOND BASE!

It was one of the oddest pairings I've seen in a movie. Lou was balding, chubby and not sexy. But I think that sends a good message because he was a great person and Mrs. Flax saw that in him and I like to believe that's what attracted her to him, not his looks.

She treated him like garbage though. He was too good for her.
