Easily the worst movie i've seen in the last year, and as a part-time manager for a cinema i've seen a lot.
Mo'Nique is fat. Almost every scene in Phat Girls is about how she's fat. How fat is she? Her character Jazmin is so fat that when she gets dressed on screen, the soundtrack plays "Brick House". She's so fat she eats at Fatassburger. She's so fat that when she meets a hot rich doctor he has to be from a foreign country(Nigeria), because apparently only Arican guys love large women, or so the the movie would make you believe. Jazmin's so fat that the movie reduces her to a single discernible characteristic, which is the mark of an awful movie.
I'm not saying there aren't issues our society needs to confront when it comes to women and body image. What i'm saying is this movie has nothing to do with the issue. It pretends to be about not being shallow and getting to the point where a large woman feels "fat-tabulous", but it's as sad and phony as all those skinny bitches Jazmin belittles and envies. The whole think reeks of hypocrisy. It OK to be a fat girl, but if you want to be a guy you better be a model and have a six pack.
Avoid this movie at all costs, unless you like fat jokes or just hate healthy people. If either of those are you then this movie is for you.
I hope everyone no matter what their size is happy with who they are. However I wish people would stop trying to tell me it's OK to be fat, that their is a healthy way to be fat. If that's true than I guess all doctors are wrong and there's no such thing as diabetes and heart disease. Put the burger and chips down and go for a walk.
