Phat Girlz Ratings & Reviews
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Marcianne Miller
At 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.
New Times
Luke Y. Thompson
looks cheap and falls apart after the first act.
Pajiba
Jeremy C. Fox
Setting up a woman like Mo'Nique as a role model for overweight women may do more damage to their self-images than all the fashion magazines in the world could.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
even though this movie is a bit of a mess, it turns out to be unexpectedly sweet and funny. Its very amateurishness gives it freshness and authenticity.
L.A. Weekly
Mark Olsen
[Mo'Nique's] sassy forte may be talking so straight-up she sounds crazy, but she seems a little advanced to be doing 'yo mama' jokes.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
While it's a pleasure to watch the likeable Kendra Johnson open up and come out of her shell, Phat Girlz belongs to Mo'Nique, a grating, belligerent woman who alternates self-deprecating fat jokes with drama-queen meltdowns and simpering pleas for
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
Linda Cook
Uneven but lovable, "Phat Girlz" comes strutting on to the screen. As well it should.
Entertainment Weekly
Gregory Kirschling
Jazmin's so fat that the movie reduces her to a single discernible characteristic, which is a telltale mark of many a wholly awful comedy.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
The first word of the movie's title stands for Pretty Hot and Thick. The second word is never spelled out, but it could mean Good Intentions Ruined by Lousy Zingers.
New York Times
Nathan Lee
Barely written and stiffly directed by Nnegest Likké, Phat Girlz is an undernourished comedy about a sassy, overweight heroine.
Variety
Joe Leydon
A thin comedy about a size-plus heroine.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The film is amateurishly directed and sluggishly paced with an anorexic plot. Even the photography, sound and costumes are substandard.
New York Daily News
Robert Dominguez
Beneath the movie's broad humor and meanspirited put-downs lies an uplifting story about learning to like yourself for who you are, not what you look like.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
This 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?
Slant Magazine
Paul Schrodt
God bless her soul, Mo'Nique even stays believable as the story requires her to finally fall apart and hit a new self-hating low.
Newsday
John Anderson
Likk should be applauded for tackling a subject that's bristling with socio-political thorns and raises some provocative questions, particularly about what we find attractive in other people and why.
Arizona Republic
Kathy Cano-Murillo
It's a chick flick with good intentions about self-image and body size, yet it leaves an icky aftertaste.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
There's a lot to laugh at and cheer for in this rousing comedy.
