maggie-122 Don't let the R rating fool you; it stands for Rousing! If the Golden Girls married Sex and the City, this would be their love child. Michon is amazing as the film's Triple Threat: co-writer, director, and star. Supporting cast is also marvelous, which makes it difficult to single out any one performer but for me, the standout was Dot Marie Jones as Christine. Playing the characters straight was a great decision on the part of director Michon. This is one of the best methods in comedy, leaving pratfalls for the kids ... well, actually, there are pratfalls in this as well, in scenes where pratfalls are unexpectedly funny. (W. Bruce Cameron, co-writer with Michon, and known for "8 Simple Rules ... " as well as "A Dog's Purpose," "A Dog's Journey," and "The Dogs of Christmas" made a cameo appearance in Muffin Top as the plastic surgeon.) Michelle Featherstone's music is terrific, as is Tom Clancy's cinematography, Brian O'Hara's sets, and Yoshio Kohashi's flawless editing. If there's a showing near you, see it. If not, download it.

cathie-168-60883 Cathryn Michon has written (and stars) in a brilliant, masterful comedy about women, self-image and the "theater of the absurd" the mad chase to perfection truly is.Co-written with best-selling author, W. Bruce Cameron, Michon's delightful tale takes men and women alike through the best and the worst of the "Los Angeles Pretty People" scene - at once illuminating how we view each other even as we all fall victim to chasing the phantom of perfection.Comedic timing has never been so great! Carol Burnett, Gilda Radner and Lucille Ball must be screaming with glee, knowing that this 21st century writer, actress and filmmaker has all the goods - as does her all-star, perfect-pitched cast!

Julie Hale This is actually a laugh out loud movie - the star, Cathryn Michon is so adorable, earnest and hapless in her search for balance and happiness in her life when it is turned upside down. The rest of the cast is super funny as well, and you can tell they had a great time improving while making this movie, they all played so well together. The movie has a great message, too, about accepting yourself just as you are - without being too preachy or cramming the message down your throat. It really did make me feel better about myself, and proud to be a strong female! I'm so glad I bought it instead of renting it so I can watch it again. Loved it!

abcdsherman Finally, a movie that makes women and their insecurities funny, while spreading the message that we should love ourselves as we are. It is a rare Hollywood phenomenon to see women celebrated for their flaws. It is also rare to see a funny movie written and directed by a woman.There are so many fun moments that everyone can relate to. Men should see it just to climb into the mind of women and how they see themselves.Grab your muffin top, roll it between your fingers and love the hell out of it! We are all so much more than our bodies.Have a girls night and revel in all the hilarity. Celebrate yourself and all your womanly ways. Friends, dogs, and food make everything better!
