i was enthralled throughout the whole movie, having lived for years being a thick madame, and being put down made to feel less than nothing, low self esteem, low self image having to wear hand me downs, and grandma clothes living severely depressed, because along with being a thick madame i am also disabled and in a wheelchair, and ms. MO Nique did more for me and my image than all the counselors in the world i just wish there was a place other than lane bryant i wish there really was a THICK MADAME. and i wish there were places like nigeria where thick is in, and thin is out!!!! totally out.

What Parents Need to Know
About Phat Girlz
Parents need to know that this film includes sexual imagery ("comic" sex scenes, against a wall, passionate-awkward kissing, in a suds-filled tub) and language (slang for genitals and sexual activity). The film also includes language that pushes the PG-13 edge, including one f-word and especially, repetition of the word "bitch" (which Jazmin uses in reference to herself as well as the "skinny bitches" she hates). Some antic violence (as when Jazmin hits a girl and a man who call her "fat," or drops objects from her apartment window and hits her cousin on the sidewalk).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the film argues for plus-size women's self-esteem, usually at the (comic) expense of thin women. How do men's judgments shape women's self-images? How does Jazmin find a new sense of self-worth by helping plus-size women?
