Leave your thoughts about Phat Girlz.
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonI am allowed to say this, because I've been on both sides of the [fat-girl] fence: Phat Girlz, shut the f**k up. |
| Globe and MailJennie PunterIf it weren't for Mo'Nique's fresh, appealing screen presence, Phat Girlz would fall flat. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubClumsily directed yet entertainingly written by Oakland native Nnegest Likké, Phat Girlz is like "Rocky" with cellulite. Or maybe "Pretty Woman" without all the bony butts. It has a lot of heart and soul, but it's almost never mean-spirited. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisThis is a disarming and, in its own way, delightful vehicle for its star and executive producer, the comedian and actress Mo'Nique. Who could hate this movie? |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfFirst time writer/director Nnegest Likke has her heart in the right place, but the intensity of her inexperience blinds every scene. |
| New TimesLuke Y. Thompsonlooks cheap and falls apart after the first act. |
| TheMovieChicks.comCherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann PaloneThe film starts with the kind of material you would find in Mo'Nique's stand-up routines, but settles down into more of a story and actually has something to say. |
| New York Daily NewsRobert DominguezThe plus-size personality of comic actress Mo'Nique fills the screen in Phat Girlz, a sweet, if thinly plotted tale. |
| Reel.comTimothy KnightA slapdash female empowerment comedy that's crudely executed on every level. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Marcianne MillerAt times, it's funny, even sweet, and the most gorgeous male creature on the planet is the male lead. Alas, Phat Girlz' benefits don't outweigh its liabilities and it ends up alienating the very audience it hopes to attract. |
