pretty good, not great

i'd have to disagree with posters who fault the direction and acting, both of which i thought were pretty good, most of all, i think the writer/director should have elicited some help to take an intriguing concept and turn it into an actually good script. i thought the direction and acting (given the material) was first rate but she should have gotten some of her artsy friends to tweak the script a bit and made something really special. from the description on the box i thought the premise was strong and they could have done a lot more with it, but also i think other posters have been unduly harsh. a unique indy flick worth checking out. maybe not for everyone but still somehow compelling...

Watching Fat People Jiggle? NO THANKS

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.

Fat

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 ain't the Farley Brothers

If you're looking for cheap jokes, personal put-downs, and physical comedy, this movie probably isn't for you. Muffin Man is a dark, poignant, cerebral comedy that stabs at the heart of all of our social ills.

Unfortunately it was not without its problems. On the plus side, it was wickedly funny with a very sharp wit. There were a lot of subtleties that make you do a second take. Also, I especially loved the music - I really want a copy of the soundtrack. On the minus side, the production was a bit campy. Not sure how to describe it, but it had more of a cult feel than a mainstream production - I'd really like to see it on a big screen, I only watched a promo version on DVD. I'll give it a 7 on a scale of 10.

93 minutes of fatso bashing

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.
