Movie Reviews of Phat Girlz
Movie Review: Seriously good fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this film, not only for the message it gave but also, as a Nigerian, I was in stitches for the poolside banter.
I find Mo'nique a very good actress and she delivers her lines with comic timing. I found her character very believeable but also I think she as a woman would be a great friend to have in your life.
Summary of Phat Girlz
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 FetzerSuperstar comedienne Mo'Nique is "hilarious" (San Francisco Chronicle) as a sassy plus-sized fashion designer who's tired of taking no for an answer in this "delightful" (Boston Globe) comedy about living life to the fullest. Jazmin Biltmore (Mo'Nique) has big plans for large ladies she's designed a sexy line of clothes for curvaceous women like herself. But when she can't get funding for her designs or meet a man who appreciates her unique physique Jazmin's patience starts running thin. That is until she wins an all-expense-paid trip to a resort in Palms Springs where she just might just meet the man of her dreams.System Requirements:Running Time: 99 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG-13 UPC: 024543254928 Manufacturer No: 2235492
