UnowPriceless hyped garbage

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

PollyPick I felt an unbiased review was needed here, given most of the other reviewers appear to be somehow affiliated with the film (this is nowhere close to a 10/10). And this is most certainly NOT a "great insight into what all women think". (Heaven forbid).The premise behind Muffin Top was promising: a feminist take on a romantic comedy. Unfortunately the story was predictable, the characters hollow and the protagonist unsympathetic.And let's not forget the same frothy pop song that played throughout virtually every scene in the movie. It's clear that once they had paid for that dreary ditty they were determined to wring every last cent's worth out of their questionable investment.Unfortunately the protagonist, played by Cathryn Michon, wasn't particularly likable. She whines constantly, is overly dramatic about the injustice of how her ex, her dates and the world treats her, and is completely self-centred. I felt that Michon was cast well and could have been more relatable and interesting as a character if she had been given a more solid script with which to work. And good grief, whose choice was it to cast David Arquette as an Englishman? That accent was atrocious.Positive points? The weight loss coach played by Gary Anthony Williams was funny, the lighting looked professional, and if you need a movie playing in the background while you do something else more interesting, this does the trick.

Teri Rizvi A wonderful girls' night out flick! Saw this movie in a sold-out theater in Dayton, Ohio, where the audience howled with laughter. From the acting to the directing, this movie soared. After the laughter died down, the message continues to resonate: love yourself now, not five pounds from now. This movie is a powerful reminder of what's truly important in life. It's not about your physical appearance; it's about the beauty from within. Loved seeing so many women in front of and behind the camera in this film. Only a tiny fraction of women direct Hollywood films. Cathryn Michon is an incredible talent — in front of and behind the camera.

suzmar-152-232348 A highly entertaining and well written romantic comedy with a reassuring message to women of "love yourself now, not five pounds from now." Woman loses man, woman wants new man to love, but wait! What she really wants is to love herself first, and that's a journey "Suzanne" takes us on. It's a necessary journey full of confusion, shame, discovery, and the laughter is healing. The attempts by "Suzanne" to mold herself into popular standards of beauty are laugh out loud, but they mirror what is too rampant in our culture, and that is women who feel "less than" if their weight is "more than" or their looks don't measure up. Cathryn Michon writes, directs and stars in this great film with an ensemble that is funny, smart and engaging. A terrific cast showcases the talent of women in front of and behind the camera. Well worth watching again and again. Suzette Martinez Standring

bob-leonard47 We watched "Muffin Top: A Love Story" last night and laughed ourselves to sleep. What a truly well crafted movie all around.When we first turned on the movie, we weren't quite sure what to expect but it didn't take long for us to realize that we had stumbled upon a true gem. The script is smart and hilarious as is Cathryn Michon. Throughout the film, I kept getting flashes of "Lucy" whenever a piece of "physical" comedy was so adeptly executed. I was aware that she could write well but had no clue that she would be as proficient as she is in all other aspects of the film making process. The entire cast is wonderful. Don't miss this movie - What a treat.
