I actually don't hate (at the same time, it's not like I'm rushing to go watch it again).
There are parts of it that I really enjoyed, like the interspersed animations. I think some of it is really slapstick funny, and (mostly unintentionally) campy.
That said, there are of course a whole slew of things wrong with the messages it is sending (hey fat white girl, with enough hard work you too can be a smoking hot Asian and get the man of your dreams!). But even still -- sometimes people just dissect things way too much and find reasons to be offended over anything. It's the kind of humor that I think can (sometimes) exist in Japan in a way that just totally lacks self-awareness, or is so over the top that nobody would ever even think to take it seriously. So from that angle, I can appreciate it for the pure nonsense that it is.
