Disturbing yet enthralling

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

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

This movie is the strongest and most serious movie I've ever watched. A young woman, a main character, has so many problems that I can't help covering my eyes with my hands. After watching it, we have to think about these problems like home problem or individual problem, race, skin color, and so on. There are actually a lot of people like her in the world. They're supposed to suffer, but they also must know there are some people supporting them around them. Not only them. Everyone in the world has to realize that we are living with each other's support. And a child can't choose his/her parents. I deeply think over that.

Dude, this is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. I laughed my wiener off in the theater, when she got that ashtray in the head and fell over like a sack of potatoes. And that retarded inbreed child named MONGO - who comes up with that stuff XD. And the way she walks around looking like a giant bloated puffer fish got me every time. Hahahaha I almost pee myself just thinking about it. I give the sex scene in the beginning a nine out of eleven, as it got me a little hard but not quite enough to jerk off to. Oh yeah, and then there was the moment when she ate those chicken wings. I almost puked in mouth, it was so discussing, and then I almost choked in my own puke cause I was laughing so hard. And the way the the black mother was talking about welfare all the time was pretty realistic. Anyways I can't quite fill the ten line so I gonna list out the best performances in the movie: The mother, a jerk who was quite believable, also she has quite an arm the way she tosses stuff after that fat kid. The black thugs, the ones who pushed the fat is over the street. They looked like someone you didn't want to mess with. That white kid in the dream, probably actor of the year as he was able to kiss that fat kid, without questioning his entire acting career and not blow his brains out afterwards.

I have seen many movies but this is easily one of the most stereotypical movies I've ever seen. The protagonist happens to be a morbidly obese dark skinned woman that loves stealing fried chicken (I kid you not). She's also illiterate and engages in an incestuous relationship with her father who ends up knocking her up with two kids, one of which has the Down Syndrome. Her mother is extremely abusive towards her (both mentally and physically) and her disabled child. All she cares about is her welfare check... go figure. Throughout the whole movie I felt like I was watching one of Tommy Sotomayor's Youtube videos (they usually address black stereotypes in the most satirical fashion). To top it all off the only "smart" characters were light skinned (the teacher and Dr. Weiss), all of the dark skinned characters were for lack of a better word one-dimensional and dull. I really don't know why so many people tend to think that this movie is "inspirational" or "empowering". As someone who's actually watched the movie I can assure you it's neither. The movie ends with the protagonist finding out that she contracted AIDS from her father. What an inspiration...On a personal side note I'd like to criticize the sloppy camera work at the end of the movie. During the entire last conversation with Dr. Weiss the camera was shaky (not to mention the completely random and uncalled for instances where the cameraman kept zooming in and out of the picture). If you're not used to it you might get motion sickness. The acting was top-notch but the story was rather weak/predictable.

This was one of the most disgusting movies I have ever watched to date. Although I will admit that the acting was superb I can not bring myself to give this movie a 10 because the story was so disgusting. Sidibe was molested by her father as a baby while her mother watched. She was also molested by her mother. Sidibe would later go on to be impregnated with her daughter/sister by her father. Sidibe was also beaten on a regular basis, lived in squalor and stole Fried Chicken from a local hole in the wall. When she was running down the street eating fried chicken, I died with laughter. I give high accolades for the acting to Kravitz, Cary, Paula and Monique. Avoid this movie at all cost. Also I'm beyond sick of all this political correctness surrounding weight. If you're fat as hell; then it is NOT healthy, end of story. If you are OBESE like Sidibe; then you probably have problems breathing, walking and digesting food not to mention the high chance of having heart problems, bad knees and diabetes. Fat is Wack and I don't care what Sports Illustrated Says. As our country becomes Fatter of course the movies, magazines, clothing companies and etcetera need to adhere to what is in demand and for who is demanding a product.Oh yeah, Sidibe's first child by her father had Down Syndrome. Great Story....
