Muffin Top: A Love Story

If I could give 0 stars, I would give that.

Please, if you are, or have a loved one who is overweight, or in general you care about the dignity of other people, do not watch this. If you find this very real issue funny, and you like cheap, low quality "humor" on the expense of overweight people, go for it.

This film tries to sell itself as "feminist" which should be about inclusiveness and acceptance, however any solution to the problem is that you have the right to have body modifications, however it never teaches anything about accepting people as they are, or God forbid, that an overweight person could be as lovable, sweet and valuable to society as a thin one. Instead, it equates the value of a woman with the value of her body image.

The "love" part is also very shallow, the guy has controlling tendencies and there is no real chemistry.

When I spotted this movie on my On Demand I was intrigued and could not wait to watch it. I love a good "underdog movie" and I really loved this movie until David Arquette's terrible British accent made an appearance. It's so ridiculous it makes the movie unwatchable for me. Why oh why did they have to force this actor who is strained in the easiest of characters to have a British accent. Most of the characters are relatable and likable with the acception of one... David Arquette's character made this movie a one star for me. Without him..I would've given it 4 stars. i would recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a good comedy but have your finger ready on the fast forward button for David Arquette's laughable scenes.

"Muffin Top: A Love Story" is a a hilarious movie! I highly recommend watching it. Invite your girlfriends over to watch it too!

I appreciated the story line about how we as women often feel we are never enough no matter what we look like or what we do.--It was absolutely refreshing to see a movie with real women having dialog about what real women often go through in regards to living in our society with all its stereotypes.

Muffin Top is a laugh out loud movie that had me rooting for Suzanne as she navigates and fumbles through her personal life and relationships. It had me shaking my head thinking about my own life and what I had personally put myself through over the years before realizing "I am fine and I am enough just the way I am".

Cathryn Michon is truly a Grrl Genius! I certainly hope Michon will continue to make more movies.

This film uses the funny bone to pluck the heart-strings of insecurity, and in the process creates beautiful music!

A comical peek into the looking glass, with a message of empowerment and self love being reflected back. An entertaining examination of "experts", anxiety, and acceptance.

The cast has great chemistry, and spot-on comedic timing. The hilarity of interaction is only secondary to the adept writing and delivery of the dialog.

Better than a chick-flick, more than a rom-com, Muffin Top is a living, loving, laughing good time!! See it, enjoy it, and love yourself now, not five pounds from now!

Muffin Top: A Love Story, is a hilarious send-up of the lengths to which women will travel in their search for physical beauty (as determined by the media and our celebrity-obsessed culture) and acceptance by others (most notably, the male of the species). Congratulations to co-writer, director and star Cathryn Michon, who birthed this delightful rom-com, with strong support from a smart script, stellar cast, and Kickstarter. Michon, who based the movie on her book, "The Grrl Genius Guide to Sex (With Other People)," is a hoot and a half as a professor of women's studies, picking up the pieces and striving for perfection after her jerky Hollywood-bigwig husband kicks her to the curb for someone younger and thinner with fuller lips. Michon, who cut her eye teeth doing stand-up in LA, is a standard bearer for the broad, physical comedy of Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett. That she's a stunning blonde in stiletto heels adds to her pitch-perfect comedic performance. The well-paced script (by Michon and real-life partner W. Bruce Cameron) and superb acting (Marissa Jaret Winokur, David Arquette and Diedrich Bader, to name a few) make for a rollicking good time with an important message: Women must learn to love themselves as they are," not 5 pounds from now." Kudos to Surprise Hit Films for a laugh-out-loud, heartwarming story. Muffin Top will touch anyone who's ever: had a body-image problem (Show of hands, please. Who has not?); fallen in love, been dumped, and bounced back― stronger and more beautiful than ever. Don't take my word for it. See Muffin Top ASAP.
