Muffin Top: A Love Story

Winning performance by Cathryn Michon anchors this quirky, often very funny take on female insecurities in modern society. After her pompous husband leaves her for a much younger woman, Suzanne Nicholson (Michon) embarks on a journey of a self-discovery....well, sort of. Full of self-deprecating humor and peppered by wonderful cameos by well known TV-personalities and stars. There is an easy, likable charm to the flick despite running out of steam after an hour or so with usual rom-com tropes to give the movie a feel-good ending. Gary Anthony Williams makes a huge impact in brief cameo as a health guru.

This film uses the funny bone to pluck the heart-strings of insecurity, and in the process creates beautiful music!

A comical peek into the looking glass, with a message of empowerment and self love being reflected back. An entertaining examination of "experts", anxiety, and acceptance.

The cast has great chemistry, and spot-on comedic timing. The hilarity of interaction is only secondary to the adept writing and delivery of the dialog.

Better than a chick-flick, more than a rom-com, Muffin Top is a living, loving, laughing good time!! See it, enjoy it, and love yourself now, not five pounds from now!

I felt an unbiased review was needed here, given most of the other reviewers appear to be somehow affiliated with the film (this is nowhere close to a 10/10). And this is most certainly NOT a "great insight into what all women think". (Heaven forbid).

The premise behind Muffin Top was promising: a feminist take on a romantic comedy. Unfortunately the story was predictable, the characters hollow and the protagonist unsympathetic.

And let's not forget the same frothy pop song that played throughout virtually every scene in the movie. It's clear that once they had paid for that dreary ditty they were determined to wring every last cent's worth out of their questionable investment.

Unfortunately the protagonist, played by Cathryn Michon, wasn't particularly likable. She whines constantly, is overly dramatic about the injustice of how her ex, her dates and the world treats her, and is completely self-centred. I felt that Michon was cast well and could have been more relatable and interesting as a character if she had been given a more solid script with which to work.

And good grief, whose choice was it to cast David Arquette as an Englishman? That accent was atrocious.

Positive points? The weight loss coach played by Gary Anthony Williams was funny, the lighting looked professional, and if you need a movie playing in the background while you do something else more interesting, this does the trick.

"Muffin Top: A Love Story" is a a hilarious movie! I highly recommend watching it. Invite your girlfriends over to watch it too!

I appreciated the story line about how we as women often feel we are never enough no matter what we look like or what we do.--It was absolutely refreshing to see a movie with real women having dialog about what real women often go through in regards to living in our society with all its stereotypes.

Muffin Top is a laugh out loud movie that had me rooting for Suzanne as she navigates and fumbles through her personal life and relationships. It had me shaking my head thinking about my own life and what I had personally put myself through over the years before realizing "I am fine and I am enough just the way I am".

Cathryn Michon is truly a Grrl Genius! I certainly hope Michon will continue to make more movies.

When I spotted this movie on my On Demand I was intrigued and could not wait to watch it. I love a good "underdog movie" and I really loved this movie until David Arquette's terrible British accent made an appearance. It's so ridiculous it makes the movie unwatchable for me. Why oh why did they have to force this actor who is strained in the easiest of characters to have a British accent. Most of the characters are relatable and likable with the acception of one... David Arquette's character made this movie a one star for me. Without him..I would've given it 4 stars. i would recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a good comedy but have your finger ready on the fast forward button for David Arquette's laughable scenes.
