MPAA RATING: R for strong sexual content including graphic dialogue, language and some drug/alcohol use - all involving teens
Starring Ash Christian, Jonathan Caouette, Robin de Jesus, Ashley Fink, Ellen Albertini Dow, Alexa Havins, Deborah Theaker, and Justin Bruening
Armed with biting humor and quirky sensibility, Rodney and his Rubenesque friend Sabrina are valiantly suffering through the indignity known as high school. Both are outcasts; he’s gay and she’s overweight. Trapped in a small Texas town and having come to accept his “fat girl” within, Rodney is an aspiring Broadway star who musters up the energy to confront his fears and take life – and the hot new student from England – by the horns. With Rodney’s awkward experiences, off-beat attitude and strange evangelical family, “Fat Girls” is a hilarious rollercoaster ride that careens to an outrageous climax. This auspicious debut announces the arrival of filmmaker and star Ash Christian as a major new talent. (Regent Releasing)

What a waste of time. I can't believe someone would focus on this.
Taddy M. gave it a10:
Love love loved it! What a laugh-riot. For it's clearly home-grown look it's really stylish and risky for a low budget film. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Charley D. gave it a10:
Love love loved it. The immaturity in direction complements the style of the film and it's themes. For such a young director, Ash Christian is someone to watch out for, or at least John Waters and Gus Van Sant need to harness this kid. This was a perfect surprise from the new generation of filmmakers. It can't be compared to the films of all time, but more so among the films of its style. Brave and bold.
Polito M. gave it a9:
I really was surprised. It was acidic, nasty and hilariously dark. This film was a low budget bravado. Seriously, I was at the quad and thought I was going to laugh at a film instead I laughed with it. Nice job. I hear that filmmakers with access to Final Cut and inexpensive HD camera are spawning, and here is the beginning of the new world of films. What a riot!
