Had me laughing during the entire movie

I am a very satisfied customer.

This is one of her Best movies

If you have not seen this movie ! It’s a must Watch

It was really nice to finally see a movie where the lead actress was not a size 2. What a refreshing change this was and I only wish it had been a bigger box office success so more people had a chance to see it and learn the message in here.Monique wasn't as funny in here as she was in The Parkers, but she was very good. She plays Jazmin who thinks love is out of her reach because of her size and that it is also holding her back from achieving success in her professional life. She want's to start a clothing line for full figured women. She works in Bloomfields where she is constantly discouraged at all the thin girls and the lack of clothing for larger women. She wins a competition to spend a weekend at a Palms Springs resort with her best friend and cousin and while there, she meets Dr Tunde who is over from Nigeria on business. He is captivated by her (in Nigeria they say that the bigger the woman, the richer and more beautiful she is). Because she doesn't yet love herself the way he begins to, she thinks he isn't genuine and believes he lied to her about his whereabouts one night. On her return to LA, things take a different turn after she gets out of the funk she was in and she starts realising her dream of becoming a designer. Without spoiling the end, there is a message in here that you must love yourself before anyone else can love you. On the only negative note, I have to say that while she wants to be loved for who she is, she want's a fine guy and not a nerdy overweight guy herself.This movie didn't make me laugh out loud on a regular basis, although there are funny moments scattered throught the movie, but it's enjoyable for the mere fact that there wasn't any anorexic actress in here. I really hope this is a movie that mothers of young girls will make watch because there is something for them to learn from it. I really liked it and hope everyone else will too.

I enjoyed this movie. My mother watched it with me, and she enjoyed also. You want a good laugh take a look.

I thought this movie would be silly but it actually had a good story line and it had substance. It gave good insight into how big girls feel about being overweight & how they're frustrated with the options they have for clothing; such as frumpy options rather than trendy, flattering options. Great part of the story line is Mo'Nique's character works in a clothing store & she has great ideas for trendy, fashionable clothing for big girls & it's her dream to be able to have her designs in a store. She also designs & makes her own clothes in this movie & she looks fabulous in her outfits, esp. that "yellow dress." Did a good job with Mo'Nique's love interest by making him be this tall, dark, fine, good-looking man from Nigeria where the men love big women. They also added the skinny cousin that gave great laughs because she thought she was "All That" since she rcvd a lot of attn. from men in America then when she met the men & women from Nigeria they thought she was sickly since she was so thin.

Es una película que me gusta y es un tanto difícil de conseguir. El paquete llegó bien y a tiempo cómo siempre. El problema es que al venir de USA, no me fue posible reproducirla en mi DVD ni en mi PS4, por problemas de región. Hay que tener en mente eso. La caja del DVD se sentía un tanto frágil o genérica, pero, nada de que preocuparse.

Unfortunately this film was disappointing on a number of levels. Not least due to the poor quality of video that it was filmed with. So the lighting, pixels and sharpness that one would normally be accustomed is noticeably missing and adds to the overall all feeling of poor quality and low budget attitude with which this was obviously cobbled together.Apart from Mo'Nique, who was a country mile from her best, the rest of the casts delivery was mediocre and felt wooden and completely unbelievable. There were few genuine comedic moments but I'm sure Mo'Nique, who I am a follower of, would not be very 'Precious' about this product regardless of her involvement in it's development.

Good movie concept but I've only actually watched the movie once since I've got it which is saying something since I can rewatch the same film over and over again. The movie arrived on time and played perfectly but it just wasn't one of my favourite films.

I could watch this over and over again

Although I have watched this film before, I bought it so that the family could watch and also to add to my collection of African American films.If you have a problem with thin or curvy women then you should watch this film and try to understand what women go through sometimes.
