In the vast, often chaotic archive of early internet culture, certain artifacts gain a second life far removed from their original context. One such artifact is the video commonly titled “A Big Girl Like You” (circa 2003), which has found a enduring, if niche, home on the Russian social media platform ok.ru (formerly Odnoklassniki).

The protagonist isn't a "ugly duckling" waiting for a makeover; she is a fully realized person dealing with the awkwardness of not fitting into societal molds.
Another strong possibility is that the title is slightly misremembered, and you are thinking of (2002) or "Whale Rider" (2002/2003), both of which feature young female protagonists defying expectations.
