I would recommend this movie

I thought the movie was delightful and refreshing. Big girls need love too and for a change the big girls get the man and we probably won't see that again for a very long time. For the writer/director's first time out I think she did a great job! This was a love story and a good one at that. I think it is noble of the movie maker to have the storyline surround 2 big girls, we live in a society where skinny is in and big is, well it isn't. I also like the fact that Monique's character was a fashion designer for full figured women and just not women in general, that was great! Overall, I would say that this movie was very entertaining and I wish I would've seen it when it hit the big screen.
