Having been a fan of VIZ for a long time (indeed I am a subscriber) the Fat Slags is one of my favourite comic strips, so I was eagerly looking forward to seeing the DVD.
What a disappointment! The 'plot' is thin, the acting unconvincing (as are the hideous "fat suits" the otherwise-slim actresses have to wear) and the script puerile.
Admittedly, there are one or two laugh-out-loud moments (if you have a toilet humour) but not enough to keep the viewers' attention for the 72 minutes of the video.
Stick to the comic strip - it's much funnier.

A Good Laugh

I know this film has been slated many times, mainly due to its toilet humour etc. But I think people who have slated it haven't thought about it much. The humour is crass and of the toilet type, but that's the point, it's based on a Viz cartoon strip for crying out loud. The underrated Sophie Thompson and Fiona Allen in fat suits is enough to get me laughing, and when Sophie Thompson wants to buy a miniskirt in her enormous size is hilarious. I showed this film to my old mum, and even she thought it was hilarious and enjoyed it.
utter bollocks

havent seen a film this bad in I dont know how long (being a connoisser of bad movies this says something)Absolute crap . Captures nothing of the wonderfully lewd VIz strip . Even at 0.79p I felt robbed.
Avoid.

It has taken me nearly 3 years to watch film after reading the bad reviews this film got and then saw it dirt cheap on here.
but i have to say this is one of the best film i have seen in a long time.
Very funny and very entertaining.
i recommend people who watch this to have a wicked sense of humour and at the end of the day this is a very fun film.
Crap

Absolute crap. Probably the worst film I have ever seen.
Cheap, tacky, not funny in the least and a complete watse of money.
Films shouldn't be made like this anymmore. If you buy this you have been warned.
