n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

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

If you are expecting to see a film featuring the Viz comic strip characters Sandra Burke and Tracey Tunstall you will be disappointed. The characters in the movie are different. They have different personalities and are portrayed in a more favourable and sympathetic light. In the comic strip the girls are disgustingly loutish rude and bullying. In the movie they are more sensitive and likable. The film itself is pretty dreadful although not totally unwatchable and you can fast forward through the worst bits. The story, script, acting - everything really - are all bad. It has a few - very few - good moments. I give it two stars as there are worse films out there. Conclusion: there was only ever going to be one reason to watch this film and that was to see the Fat Slags, but, as they are not in the movie, there really is no reason to watch this film.

That sounds like a pretty outrageous claim, but see the movie and you will know where I'm coming from (oo-err! bit of innuendo!) Really though, this is an abomination of a film, dreadful in every possible aspect. As a life long Viz reader I know what a Fat slags movie should be like, and this just ain't it. Similarities between the comic book characters and on screen counterparts was minimal: they're fat, oh yeah, and, well, that's it really. They should be constantly looking for sex, getting drunk and generally being loud and offensive: doesn't sound like much of a plot, but come, the film only lasts 75 or so minutes, (which really drags). The two actresses were also very poor, just plain annoying. And how could they miss out the trademark laugh? NA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA: no such laughs in this movie. Save time and read the comic instead.

All-right, so Fat Slags is nowhere near as sophisticated as Shakespeare, but hear me out. A lot of people don't like or appreciate Shakespeare because they don't understand it. That's why so many people either completely love or completely hate Fat Slags. You either love it or you hate it (that's where the Marmite comes in). What you have to remember is it's based on a VIZ comic strip. If you complain that it's too rude, too crass, too unbelievable: you're missing the point. It's a comic book movie, it's meant to be that way. And in my opinion, it's brilliant. And as for the delectable Mr Anthony Head, it's the most devilish I've ever seen him. Bravo. Now that I think about it, this is less of a review and more of a warning: Don't knock it until you've seen it.Go and enjoy :)

I got tickets to see a preview of this film and being a fan of the Viz strip took them up on the chance (well .. all 15 minutes of it) i had to leave, it was shocking! I dread to think what people will feel if THEY pay to see this rubbish! The body suits that the actors wear are shockingly made, it's like this is a sketch for some TV series gone wrong! At 76 minutes too i imagine the film makers know this and have kept the running time to a minimum so as not to offend viewers even more! Also the fact that GERI HALLIWELL is billed as one of the stars of this film is such a laugh, she isn't even an actress and she appears briefly in the film - hardly worthy of a credit!
