    VERY funny

    We watched "Muffin Top: A Love Story" last night and laughed ourselves to sleep. What a truly well crafted movie all around.When we first turned on the movie, we weren't quite sure what to expect but it didn't take long for us to realize that we had stumbled upon a true gem. The script is smart and hilarious as is Cathryn Michon. Throughout the film, I kept getting flashes of "Lucy" whenever a piece of "physical" comedy was so adeptly executed. I was aware that she could write well but had no clue that she would be as proficient as she is in all other aspects of the film making process. The entire cast is wonderful. Don't miss this movie - What a treat.

    Fat shaming

    If I could give 0 stars, I would give that.

    Please, if you are, or have a loved one who is overweight, or in general you care about the dignity of other people, do not watch this. If you find this very real issue funny, and you like cheap, low quality "humor" on the expense of overweight people, go for it.

    This film tries to sell itself as "feminist" which should be about inclusiveness and acceptance, however any solution to the problem is that you have the right to have body modifications, however it never teaches anything about accepting people as they are, or God forbid, that an overweight person could be as lovable, sweet and valuable to society as a thin one. Instead, it equates the value of a woman with the value of her body image.

    The "love" part is also very shallow, the guy has controlling tendencies and there is no real chemistry.

    Easy, likable charm to the flick

    Winning performance by Cathryn Michon anchors this quirky, often very funny take on female insecurities in modern society. After her pompous husband leaves her for a much younger woman, Suzanne Nicholson (Michon) embarks on a journey of a self-discovery....well, sort of. Full of self-deprecating humor and peppered by wonderful cameos by well known TV-personalities and stars. There is an easy, likable charm to the flick despite running out of steam after an hour or so with usual rom-com tropes to give the movie a feel-good ending. Gary Anthony Williams makes a huge impact in brief cameo as a health guru.

    Hilarious romp through insecurity and body image

    This film uses the funny bone to pluck the heart-strings of insecurity, and in the process creates beautiful music!

    A comical peek into the looking glass, with a message of empowerment and self love being reflected back. An entertaining examination of "experts", anxiety, and acceptance.

    The cast has great chemistry, and spot-on comedic timing. The hilarity of interaction is only secondary to the adept writing and delivery of the dialog.

    Better than a chick-flick, more than a rom-com, Muffin Top is a living, loving, laughing good time!! See it, enjoy it, and love yourself now, not five pounds from now!

    Love Hurts....Cake, dogs,and friends help!!

    "Muffin Top: A Love Story" is a a hilarious movie! I highly recommend watching it. Invite your girlfriends over to watch it too!

    I appreciated the story line about how we as women often feel we are never enough no matter what we look like or what we do.--It was absolutely refreshing to see a movie with real women having dialog about what real women often go through in regards to living in our society with all its stereotypes.

    Muffin Top is a laugh out loud movie that had me rooting for Suzanne as she navigates and fumbles through her personal life and relationships. It had me shaking my head thinking about my own life and what I had personally put myself through over the years before realizing "I am fine and I am enough just the way I am".

    Cathryn Michon is truly a Grrl Genius! I certainly hope Michon will continue to make more movies.
