ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Alex Mueller Turn on your television and find a movie to watch. Your guide will be filled with movies with a written "love story" plot line. From Cinderella to the Hallmark channel, they are all fairy tales and love stories. Just recently, another production was added to the bunch, only its message is more relative to our modern population here in America. "Muffin Top: A Love Story" written and directed by Cathryn Michon, is not the typical love story that you would think. Once you turn it on, do not expect to see a "love at first sight" moment between a man and a woman. Michon and her husband, W. Bruce Cameron wrote this film with the intention of sending a message to the public, specifically feminists. This love story is not about finding your "true love" but "loving yourself, not five pounds from now." So many women try to live up to all of these images from the media. Unless you have Photoshop, you will never live up to those images from the media. Even if you do have Photoshop or a monthly payment with a photo editing website, you are paying to make yourself look like someone you're not. Everyone has their insecurities but those who think they are alone in that sort of mindset, this movie will clarify that you are wrong and you're not the only one. It is time to bring true beauty back. Suzanne (Cathryn Michon) teaches a women's studies class in Los Angeles, which is ironic as it is where all the "inspiring beauty" images are. She is also undergoing IVF shots in the hopes of having a baby. When her husband leaves her on her 40th birthday, presenting her with divorce papers and a baby on board (with another woman), she takes extreme, hilarious measures to get rid of her own muffin top while finding love again. First, she must find out who she is and accept her beauty – there is no definition of beauty besides a person themselves. Taking that into account, she also finds those who love her for who she is and not how she looks. This film has a meaningful message with a wonderful cast and I definitely recommend it to anyone out there who is up for a few laughs. I do not want to give too much away about the movie, so check out iTunes, Amazon and other Video-On-Demand platforms to purchase your digital copy today. Join us in supporting this message about female empowerment, because this film does a phenomenal job of portraying it with a comedic background.

laurie_may-649-912552 Finally.....a funny movie that empowers women. A must see!!!! A perfect movie to see with "the girls" , your daughters, and your partner. The moral of the story is that we are so much more than the size of our bodies. Our value is so much greater than the number on the scale. The characters in this movie are very authentic. Every woman can identify with them and learn from them. Tucker steals the show in many scenes. Finally, a movie created by women, for women. The message of this movie is that we need to live life now and to accept and embrace ourselves just the way we are. It is not up to others to determine what we should look like.

jayne-robinson Cathryn Michon is a Grrl Genius, all grown up and taking on Hollywood's insistent view that women are only to be seen (and only then if they are perfect) and not heard. Enough of that! This movie is laugh out loud funny, sweet, smart and oh-so-worth your hard earned money. Michon wrote, stars and directs this ode to smart women everywhere who refuse to accept the media's vision of how we should look; and to love ourselves NOW, not 5 pounds from now. Change Hollywood, change the world. Kudos Ms. Michon -- you are the change we wish to see in the world. This is the only movie I have sat through more than once. It is that good and fun.

Beth Rubin Muffin Top: A Love Story, is a hilarious send-up of the lengths to which women will travel in their search for physical beauty (as determined by the media and our celebrity-obsessed culture) and acceptance by others (most notably, the male of the species). Congratulations to co-writer, director and star Cathryn Michon, who birthed this delightful rom-com, with strong support from a smart script, stellar cast, and Kickstarter. Michon, who based the movie on her book, "The Grrl Genius Guide to Sex (With Other People)," is a hoot and a half as a professor of women's studies, picking up the pieces and striving for perfection after her jerky Hollywood-bigwig husband kicks her to the curb for someone younger and thinner with fuller lips. Michon, who cut her eye teeth doing stand-up in LA, is a standard bearer for the broad, physical comedy of Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett. That she's a stunning blonde in stiletto heels adds to her pitch-perfect comedic performance. The well-paced script (by Michon and real-life partner W. Bruce Cameron) and superb acting (Marissa Jaret Winokur, David Arquette and Diedrich Bader, to name a few) make for a rollicking good time with an important message: Women must learn to love themselves as they are," not 5 pounds from now." Kudos to Surprise Hit Films for a laugh-out-loud, heartwarming story. Muffin Top will touch anyone who's ever: had a body-image problem (Show of hands, please. Who has not?); fallen in love, been dumped, and bounced back― stronger and more beautiful than ever. Don't take my word for it. See Muffin Top ASAP.
