Critics Consensus: Although Phat Girlz has good intentions, it is sloppily made and thin on laughs.

Richard Propes

It feels like somewhere between vision and production the film-maker lost his way.

It does suffer ... from actually having way too much heart and not enough soul, its identity lost far beneath its ambitions for affirmation.

David Noh

Although Phat Girlz...looks to have been made on a shoestring, with muddy, unflattering lighting (by two cinematographers), there is nonetheless something to be commended here.

John Beifuss

Almost stunning in its determination to be the ultimate wish-fulfillment fantasy vehicle for plus-sized African-American women...
