    This one is hard to find, I got mine from Net Flix, it wasn't the movie I was looking for but watched it anyway. Very factual with todays world, enjoyable, funny, and sad. Worth renting

    This movie has some laugh out loud scenes and is about a high school senior who comes to terms with not just being gay, but accepting and liking himself.

    Surprisingly likeable. A unconventional story with a terrific message. It's not without some flaws, but, as gay movies go, this one is quite recommended...

    New Director Ash Christian, makes good creating a new Dorothy code phrase.

    "Fat Girls" becomes the new Icon next to Dorothy her herself.

    A modestly impressive debut -- especially considering that writer/director Ash Christian was 21 when he made it -- this poignant comedy w...( read more)ill appeal to anyone who vividly remembers what it's like to be a high school outcast

    BIG-HEARTED and often quite funny if crudely made, "Fat Girls" cleverly subverts the clichés of high school comedies to serve an autobiographical story about an overweight gay teen in a small Texas town.

    Ash Christian, is appealing (if somewhat mature) in the main role. He hangs out with an enormous girl (Ashley Fink) while his sex life is limited to furtively groping his ostensibly straight co-star in the school's production of "The Odd Couple."

    This a cute freshman director picture and I look forward to Ashes' next film Mangus!

Fat Girls' portrait of its small town high school milieu feels immediate and authentic even when the story's perfunctory machinations don't. full review
