what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Excellent!!! Compliments to all the actors, this movie is refreshing, many times cruel, but courageous!!Madame Alley is going so far as possible in the self-derision and critics about the star-system.. She is a very beautiful and intelligent woman, she is fat because of the frustration and stress in a world, where you must stay young, pretty and thin. At the same time she proves us that talent has nothing to do with physical appearance. Her character is selfish,extravagant, it is the product of the fame: she was a star, and there is no reason for changing her behavior. The problem is that everybody finds that behavior ridiculous, ONLY because she is now too fat. Thank you madame Alley for amusing us and letting us think about a social phenomenon , that is getting worse and worse.

I myself found Kirstie Alley to be quite hilarious. The show i feel, shows how people really act towards people who are over weight. But it has a twist. Your not always feeling sorry for her, the show makes people laugh. Plus Bryan Callen(Eddie) and Rachel Harris(Kevyn) complete the show with there added humor. All of her famous friends give her different suggestions on how to lose weight, although they might not be good solutions, she takes some of them into consideration. Yes, and there are many guest appearances from so many well known actors/actresses. I watched every episode and couldn't get enough of it. The humor kept me going. If anybody is ever having a bad day rent the season DVD, you'll enjoy it!

Big or small, I've always thought that Kirstie was a beautiful woman and I just LOVE her voice. I try to achieve it whenever I get laryngitis but I can't compare to Kirstie... But I digress."Fat Actress" is SO funny! She may be poking fun at herself but Kirstie does it with style and crass class. It's a bit like a female version of South Park with the crudeness but if I can survive SP, Fat Actress is a cinch! And her interactions with her Kevyn and Eddie are a trip without the luggage not to mention her obsession with Kid Rock... did she GET enough sheets??? Maybe we can look forward to seeing more of her former co-stars on the show... like Kathy Najimy or Ted Danson...I'm hoping that this show goes on for many more seasons! GO KIRSTIE!!!

I wanted to like this show, I really did. I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. But what do I get? Cheap, silly, childish gimmicks! The gist of this show is "Waaaaaaaah! I'm fat! Waaaah! Laugh at me! Giggle at my plight and tears!" All throughout this show: Kirstie keeps bemoaning herself. During a scene at the office, A song called "Bubble Butt Fatso" plays. How childish and infantile! This whole "fatso" schtick belongs in the same category as your kindergarten "poopy pants" routine! I was utterly disappointed with Miss Alley. Such a beautiful and talented woman but created such an atrocious and un-funny show. Do not watch this program. It is a waste of air time.
