Muffin Man

Ok, as Executive Producer of this film, I admit that I'm a little biased (I'm saying that up front so no one accuses me of ballot stuffing) ... but audiences genuinely love this movie!

Muffin Man is a hilarious, yet frightening look at the obesity epidemic that led to the extinction of the human race. This movie is an absolute "Must See" for anyone concerned about the ballooning size of the American population. However, the movie is not about making fun of fat people - the humor is derived from social commentary about the general excesses of modern civilization and all its foibles (violence, race, religion, sex, and of course, our love of food are all fair game in this movie). What makes this movie so successful is the combination of truthfulness in its message and complete outrageousness in its delivery of that message. The characters are completely real people, but are complete caricatures of themselves. The jokes are a combination of very subtle high brow cynicism and low brow crudeness that makes you catch yourself when all of a sudden you're embarrassed that you're laughing so loudly.

Go see Muffin Man - this is going to be a classic that will entertain audiences for many years to come!

Don't watch this piece of crap. Save for the thin girl, the *only* way you got cast in the movie was if you weighed 300 pounds or more. *Hardly* acting talent. Pumpkin was too disgusting to even look at. Dumb movie. It hasn't been distributed yet, but I saw it in Bellevue.

An article I read before going to the movie said that the only way people were casted were if they weighed 300 pounds or more. What about acting talent? There was none.

Don't waste your time on this one. I think it will do better if they hire actors with talent and use body suits if they need to.

Of course, it could be said the actors being actually fat gives the movie a more sincere feeling, but it wasn't there.

I found myself bored with the tired "mockumentary" idea. The story pace was inconsistent and the jokes were lame. Nobody laughed. But hey, my friend dragged me to it, so I got in free. You get what you pay for.

This looked like some high school kids' film project. Very juvenile and poorly made. The DVD would serve a higher purpose as a coaster. Poorly acted, poorly written, and lacking in substance. I couldn't wait for it to be over. You know how some movies you want to wait until they come out on video? Well, this one you'd be better off to "just say no!"

I guess it's supposed to be a comedy with a moral that it's bad to be fat. But that point is made immediately, and the repetition becomes quickly tiring. The "joke" about how bad fat people are wasn't funny the first time they tell it, but when it's presented over and over again, it soon becomes more aggravating than humorous. There are no redeeming qualities to this movie.

I was in Seattle on business and just happened to attend the premiere of Muffin Man. I laughed so hard i thought i would wet my pants! I think some of the people in the audience were somewhat offended but that didn't stop them from laughing too. To whomever made this movie: please make another one! I can't wait till it plays in New Jersey so I can tell all my friends to see it.
