Plot: Mo'Nique retreats to a holiday resort to rehabilitate her eating disorder and her discriminatory views on skinny people.Why is this a contender for Best Movie. Ever?
Mo'Nique. Besides being a very fun name to say, Mo'Nique is actually a sidesplitting and more than capable comedic lead. Who knew? She takes her proud-to-be-heavy character and runs with it. It may be at the hands of newcomer director Nnegest Likke, but Mo'Nique practically never comes off as a big, fat slob at all. Not once. Instead, her large figure takes on a glamorous side, hopefully showing that the plus-sized of us can have just as much fun and love as the fit and healthy. The movie is handsomely made, has some nice satirical swipes at the superficial fashion industry, and most of all, it's believable. What tall, ripped black dude wouldn't want to have sex with Mo'Nique? She makes being an enormous, ugly blob vogue.
Best scene: Mo'Nique eats a lasagne over the span of 12 minutes whilst breathing heavily.
Mo'Nique is phat! Also fat.
