Really Surprised!
Bluebell Alcock
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Bessie Smyth
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I normally enjoy British comedy more than the American counterpart because the jokes tend to be a bit more subtle, a bit more ironic an less slapstick-y. That is not the case with this movie, subtlety has been thrown out completely, and the "jokes" are more or less shoved in your face. This is exceedingly annoying considering that most of the jokes are based around the main characters being fat, uneducated slobs, its not only childish but unfunny and downright offensive. I wish movie makers could learn that fat people and fart jokes are not funny.The worst thing about the movie though, is not the jokes, or for that matter the inane plot or over the top acting, it is the main characters themselves. These two women are so utterly vile and disgusting (both looks wise and behavior wise) that you end up rooting for, alternatively pitying, the supposed bad guys.

I saw the DVD cover for this film, based on the crude comic strip in Viz, I thought it was some sort of porn film or something, but it was just an excuse for gross-out humour, from director Ed Bye (Kevin & Perry Go Large). Basically vulgar and crass, booze swilling, kebab scoffing, over-weight nymphomaniacs Sandra (Smack the Pony's Fiona Allen) and Tracey (Sophie Thompson), living on S*** Street, Fulchester, north England are your typical fat women with no chance at making something of themselves. That is until American billionaire Sean Cooley (Scream 2's Jerry O'Connell) gets a blow to the head, gaining a new insane personality, finding the two fat slags the most beautiful women on Earth, seeing them on a daytime TV chat show. He is determined to make stars of them, and forces fashion designer Fidor Konstantin (Notting Hill's James Dreyfus) to put them on stage to model, which only works when they get their knockers out. Soon Sandra and Tracey are taking over the UK with a number one record, winning the Turner Prize, and making fat the new black, always maintaining their vulgarity, innocence and stupidity. But wanting attention from Sean, growing jealousy is drawing the two women apart, until of course he suffers the blow to the head getting him back to normal, and ending their success. They do however find a way to steal all the money he made from their fame, and make him out to be a criminal, before he is knocked again, and they return to near regular lives, being vulgar. Also starring Anthony Head as Victor, Geri Halliwell as Paige, Naomi Campbell as Sales Assistant, Angus Deayton as Maurice the hotel receptionist, Steve Punt as Immigration 1, Mock the Week's Hugh Dennis as Immigration 2, Les Dennis as MC, Spoons' Tom Goodman-Hill as Baz, EastEnders' Michael Greco as Niarchos, Burt Kwouk as Dalai Lama, Eamonn Holmes, Dolph Lundgren as Randy, Henry Miller as Dave, Ralf Little as Milkman, John Thomson as Foreman, Sarah Cawood as TOTP presenter, Colin Murray as TOTP presenter, Coronation Street's Alison King as Receptionist and David Schneider as Tanner. It might be a very British film, it may have a very good variety of British talent in the cast, but it isn't the sort of thing that makes you proud to be British, you'd probably emigrate. I don't want to see a film with extremely fat women getting their tits out, farting and burping a lot, squirting bodily fluids, or shagging people, it just made me feel awful, and it is certainly one of the worst films ever made in Britain. Very poor!

OK this movie ain't bad, I mean it was an OK laugh.It just lacks any real plot, it's bland, and the humour doesn't really make up for the whole film being about two, fat, loud mouthed northerners.I was just really shocked it wasn't better, mainly because there are LOADS of top notch British actors in it. The character 'San' was in 'Smack the Pony' that was really popular, James Dreyfus, was in 'Gimme gimme gimme' another popular show. Ralf Little, also in another popular show, 'The Royale Family'. Not to mention Anthony Head and Naomi Campbell. The film makers even got Eamonn Homes on there, along with the guy that used to do 'Have I Got News For You', Angus Deayton. And many more...Why am I mentioning these names that most readers don't bat an eyelid to? It's because they're decent British actors/actresses/whatever, and they are in this s*** film. Whoever made this film had a lot of cash, to bag all those actors/actresses to star in it. Now all of them wish they hadn't starred in it, I bet they all deny they are in it, it's that bad.But hey, what the hell can you expect? It's called 'FAT SLAGS' and its based of a comic. If there's 'nowt' else on, watch it, its a cheap laugh. Just don't expect a HILARIOUS film, with a plot.

All-right, so Fat Slags is nowhere near as sophisticated as Shakespeare, but hear me out. A lot of people don't like or appreciate Shakespeare because they don't understand it. That's why so many people either completely love or completely hate Fat Slags. You either love it or you hate it (that's where the Marmite comes in). What you have to remember is it's based on a VIZ comic strip. If you complain that it's too rude, too crass, too unbelievable: you're missing the point. It's a comic book movie, it's meant to be that way. And in my opinion, it's brilliant. And as for the delectable Mr Anthony Head, it's the most devilish I've ever seen him. Bravo. Now that I think about it, this is less of a review and more of a warning: Don't knock it until you've seen it.Go and enjoy :)
