The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I have a nasty feeling that most of the people who've given this 1 did actually laugh at at least one thing, but then noticed that they'd done so, and felt shame at laughing at something so low-brow.Now consider the priest who wishes to stamp out the evils of homosexuality, the politician who wishes to keep it, or make it, illegal. You know the ones, the ones found with rent-boys a few years later. They notice something inside themselves that they felt shame about, and they wish to crush it. (Book of Mormon reference - see it.)Stop over-compensating. Just be honest to yourselves. It was trashy low-brow, camply over-acted in places, toilet-to-gutter-level, immature comic-book humour. Yes, and it was kinda funny. They captured the absurd irreverence of the Viz cartoon rather well.If you watched this not expecting potty humour - *you* are stupid, not the film.Likewise, if you gave it 10, consider those who remark that everything even vaguely camp is fabulous! No it's not. Stop over-compensating. Be honest to yourselves. It was trashy low-brow, camply over-acted in places, toilet-to-gutter-level, immature comic-book humour. Yes, and it was kinda funny.OK, I know I've just insulted 80% of the people who've voted on this film (that is the case, I don't deny it), and apparently also insulted everyone else from priests to homosexuals (which is not the case - I just needed a metaphor), but I've long thought that when averages on IMDb are evaluated, all 1s and 10s should be silently ignored. The U-shaped "bell curve" of this film reinforces that opinion.I was expecting a 3, maybe 4 if it was Viz-like enough, which it was (sorry Viz, I'm still a fan of the original). But I laughed more than expected, hence the score. The stupidity of it worked for me. I was entertained. As was my girlfriend (though perhaps not quite as much, but we are from slightly different cultural backgrounds).Loved the supporting roles - all of them hit the nail square on. Dolph - there's no shame, no need to drown your agent - you were grand. Punt and Dennis - classic. Les Dennis - even you should get a pat on the back!

If you are expecting to see a film featuring the Viz comic strip characters Sandra Burke and Tracey Tunstall you will be disappointed. The characters in the movie are different. They have different personalities and are portrayed in a more favourable and sympathetic light. In the comic strip the girls are disgustingly loutish rude and bullying. In the movie they are more sensitive and likable. The film itself is pretty dreadful although not totally unwatchable and you can fast forward through the worst bits. The story, script, acting - everything really - are all bad. It has a few - very few - good moments. I give it two stars as there are worse films out there. Conclusion: there was only ever going to be one reason to watch this film and that was to see the Fat Slags, but, as they are not in the movie, there really is no reason to watch this film.

I normally enjoy British comedy more than the American counterpart because the jokes tend to be a bit more subtle, a bit more ironic an less slapstick-y. That is not the case with this movie, subtlety has been thrown out completely, and the "jokes" are more or less shoved in your face. This is exceedingly annoying considering that most of the jokes are based around the main characters being fat, uneducated slobs, its not only childish but unfunny and downright offensive. I wish movie makers could learn that fat people and fart jokes are not funny.The worst thing about the movie though, is not the jokes, or for that matter the inane plot or over the top acting, it is the main characters themselves. These two women are so utterly vile and disgusting (both looks wise and behavior wise) that you end up rooting for, alternatively pitying, the supposed bad guys.

This film was so good that after watching only the first 20 seconds my eyes were glued to the screen. Literally. God came down from the heavens and instructed me to prove my faith by applying industrial strength adhesive to my eyes and sticking them to my television.This is God's film.Would you argue with God? That would make you a heathen. Therefore, if you do not like this film, you are a satanist and a heretic. Please send your name and address to IMDb's head office, so that I may turn up at your house, erect my wooden cross, to which you will be nailed and immolated.I apologize for not being particularly insightful as to the content of this film, but in doing so I would be denying you the pleasure of watching it for yourself. I had never been in love until I watched this film. I hereby declare that Bob Clark be crucified and his name be stripped from the bible. Ed Bye is our new lord and savior.AVETE ADIPEM SLAGS.
