There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I stumbled across this movie on HBO. I hadn't heard of it before, but I found it enjoyable and uplifting. I was surprised to see it got such low ratings online. I must conclude that haters gonna hate. Monique is really a great actress, funny and able to bring depth of feeling. It had a positive message about loving yourself no matter what society says. No, it's not a masterpiece of cinema, but compared to other romantic-comedies, it's better than many.I'd take Monique and her team over Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore/Jennifer Anniston/Judd Apatow nonsense. Those movies ultimately reinforce a white-male dominated status quo.

This movie was a good movie. It shows how no matter what you look like you need to be love yourself to be loved by someone else.It really helps big woman take a look at reality to see there can be good in being big. And just because your big doesn't mean your a bad person. The cousin was too stuck up ,and didn't really fit in this movie well. It did have a few parts that could have been taking out or changed around but overall this was a good movie. If you're a person who thinks bad thoughts about yourself, this movie can be a good eye opener for you. Follow your hopes, and dreams and anything can be possible. This is a good movie, no where near the worst movie out there.

I know I am vastly in the minority on this decree, but I found this movie to be hilarious. I admit it was very poorly done and the film itself was unprofessional, and definitely nowhere near a masterpiece, but hey, it's just good fun and not meant to wow the audience. I laughed my tail off at some of the jokes, because it is a really funny movie, and even though it could have been a lot better, it was enjoyable, entertaining and overall a very cute and fun movie to watch. Mo'Nique is really a joy and steals the show, whereas everyone else just tags along for the ride. The plot was warming, even if it had plot holes, and I was entertained thoroughly from beginning to end.It's getting way too much unfair treatment, as do a lot of movies on IMDb, and people just really need to open their eyes to all of them on here, because the ratings and comments on many, including this one, are ridiculous. Overall, it was a bad movie, but not in the sense of, "Oh my gosh, this is absolutely terrible." I totally enjoyed it and found it to be a really neat little movie in the end, and think that all the haters should rethink just a bit, because Mo'Nique is proving that BIG is beautiful.

Firstly, let me just say that I love Mo'Nique! She can just look or breathe a certain way and I'll loose it. She's got mad skills when it comes to stand-up comedy. As far as movies go, well, I blame the writers. Phat Girlz and Hair Show are my fave Mo'Nique films... perhaps because she has lead roles. This one came and went so fast that I had forgotten about its theatrical release. It's not crap. Three or four scenes in this film had me laughing so hard that I could barely breathe... two of them I had to rewind. The other bits made me smile at the very least. Phat Girlz is a perfect movie for Netflix and far better than Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins... there's a movie that deserves 2.2 stars.
