waste of time

As a monique fan, i was very disappointed with this movie. Whenever I saw her in movies or t.v. shows i always thought she was absolutely hilarious. Naturally when this movie came out I was excited to see it thinking it would be a nice comedy. What i saw this movie i was not only disappointed but a little offended. To me, it seemed as if the movie was racist, for lack of a better word. Every white girl that i saw in the movie or had any part in saying anything, was a complete b***. There was also one part i distinctly remember when moniques character, jazmin, complained that one of "her men" was dating a white girl. "If I see one more white girl with one of our men, I'm going to shoot someone." I'm sure other people were offended by this comment too. Considering that I am a white girl thats dating one of "her men" Id like to speak on behalf of me and other girls that comments like that are rude and just not okay. people are people, and in the future i hope that i wont have the displeasure of wasting two hours of my life on a movie like this.

The movie ain't phat

The problem with this movie is, that next to fact that has almost no laugh-out-loud-scenes, the protagonist of the movie, the Phat Mo'nique is all but likable. Yes, she's fat, hasn't been laid in 8 months, gets comments thrown at her head (which she can reply to) but that would make you think she herself would not make the mistakes other people make by judging her by her weight. Unfortunately, Mo'nique only likes men who are extremely handsome and have gone to the gym a lot. Next to that everybody who is thin is referred to as a skinny bitch, and if that girl happens to be white and have a black boyfriend it's even more terrifying according to Mo'nique as "they are stealing their men" She's constantly judging people by the way they look.And we have to root for this woman.So no humor and no likable lead-character makes this movie a bad one in my opinion.
