(1 - 12) of 12 OFCS Rating: 25% Rotten Page   1   C- "First time writer/director Nnegest Likke has her heart in the right place, but the intensity of her inexperience blinds every scene."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "If Phat Girlz is about desire, for viewers even more than actors or characters, it is also about how that desire is constructed by images."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 1.5/4 "Chooses contrivances over naturalism and sickeningly saccharine sermonizing over lighthearted moralizing."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman B- "I'm recommending it, barely, because I think it speaks pretty well to a certain audience and does so from the heart."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1/5 "Skinny on plot, story, directing and some of the acting."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 2/5 "If first-time director Nnegest Likké would have cut down the ending in the editing room, the film may have retained some love from me."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 1/4 "If writer-director Nnegest Likke's booster speech in movie form were as funny as it is relentlessly on-message, it would be a world-class gut buster."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "I am allowed to say this, because I've been on both sides of the [fat-girl] fence: Phat Girlz, shut the f**k up."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson B "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."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1/4 "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."   Slant Magazine   Paul Schrodt 1.5/5 "First my dreams and now real life, why do you haunt me so, Eric Roberts?"   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3/5 "Even though Girlz relies on very broad humor and a simple story, there is a genuine geniality that keeps it afloat longer than it has any right to."   eFilmCritic.com   William Goss  (1 - 12) of 12 OFCS Rating: 25% Rotten Page   1
