He was also fairly pretty for a family of otherwise unattractive people.
I think the whole point was to blatantly mis-match the two characters....she was coming off a messy relationship and was likely not making good decisions, so she rebounds with a good looking gym rat as opposed to an intellectual and emotion soul mate.
One thing I really enjoyed about the movie, aside from the music, was the portrayel of the family bond. When my family gets together, it is similar....lots of food, talking, laughing, games, etc... All the siblings get along well, including spouses and nieces/nephews, so it is usually pretty fun. Watching that brought back some good memories for me The only difference is that we dont have a waterfront cabin in Rhode Island. We just hang out at my brother's house in Claremont. And we never do aerobics as a family.
