Phat Girlz description
Tart, talented, and plus-size, Jazmin (Mo'Nique, The Parkers) lives in a world that insults and rejects her because she's fat--or is the emotional abuse she heaps on herself the real problem? A department store employee with fashion designer dreams, Jazmin flounders until she wins a Palm Springs vacation and meets a handsome Nigerian doctor named Tunde who cherishes a full figure as a mark of beauty. But can Jazmin overcome her self-loathing and accept Tunde's love? This plot summary doesn't capture the freewheeling style of Phat Girlz, a low-budget feature that proves that slick production values can't compare with spunky rhythmic editing, rough and ready wit, and an honest heart. The movies takes some broad but accurate shots at American culture's crazed body fascism (though the unchivalrous might point out that the movie's male romantic objects all have a pretty studly physique). Mo'Nique throws herself into her part, capturing the mix of self-deprecating humor and bitter anger that many heavy women turn brutally on themselves. Phat Girlz may end up as a fairy tale, but along the way it delves into the sharp, dark edges that make a happy ending well-earned. --Bret Fetzer |

It was O.K!

| I wasn't overly excited about this movie. I think it was just average at best. However, I read some of the previous reviews, and I won't call anybody out or anything, but here's what I gotta say about that. First of all, I just need to say that the person who posted approximately two posts up under mine needs to know that their review is the most hateful, childish, and unintelligent review that I've ever read since I've been on Amazon. I am in utter amazement at how rude and nasty this is towards fat people. None of that was necessary. You wanna talk about hate..It seems like you got a lot of hatred towards fat people. Maybe, it's just fat black people. Clearly, you knew nothing about Monique or her stand-up act as a comedienne before you watched this movie because if you did then you would know that Monique was just being the same Monique as always. Monique just represents big women period..white or black. Second of all, you talk about a big women getting oral sex like that's a bad thing. I don't care whether she was fat or skinny that's never a bad thing. I think you need to grow up because there are tons of men in the world that love themselves a big woman. On top of that, I don't here any complaints when men are getting serviced in that manner, so don't give Monique crap about it. If you don't like fat people, and by the hostility I read in this post it obvious that you don't, then I guess you should've found another movie to watch instead of "PHAT GIRLZ". Frankly, everything about this post is totally offensive and you should be ashamed of yourself. With that being said..Is this movie gonna win any Golden Globe or Academy Awards? absolutely not! Is this movie a masterpiece or a major piece of cinema that's gonna impact the world? absolutely not? This movie is just for pure enjoyment and nothing more. It's not meant to antagonize or inspire hatred. It's not black vs white, nor is it fat vs skinny, but it is about accepting yourself no matter what you are. I think that's a message that needs to be heard around the world. Especially, when you have people dying to be thin, by starving themselves, or having a whole lot of uncalled for plastic surgeries. People need to be happy with what they are given instead of trying to look like the celebrities. With that being said, I also have to say that some of the scenes, and some of the language in this movie is kinda strong for a pg-13 rated movie. I wouldn't recommend letting a samll child watch it. |
