Vocabulary
Nice/fine
Hi.
I got the following dialogue in the movie You've got mail.
(Tom Hanks and his friend are talking about Meg Ryan shown on TV in a training center.)
Tom: She isn't as nice as she seems on television.
friend: Probably she isn't as fine as she seems on television, either?
Question:
Are these words so different in their meanings that someone differentiats them like above?

For the sake of the humor, yes. 'Nice' generally refers to personality', 'fine' to physical appearance.
