nakar1 Fat pizza is a great movie, at the beginning the movie looks to me funny and stupid but after a while and a second look.... It's still looks stupid but very smart because it criticize everything and everybody. I guess I miss some thing that Australian will found funny, but still a very fun smart and non PC as a movie as should be. They want me to write at lease ten line so I'm trying to do so and I hope that I will succeed with that mission. For now it's not so easy because my comment was two short because it's not easy to me to express my self in English, and to express my thoughts about this movie. Wish me lock..............hope this comment will not deleted.

dromasca Maybe I am just too old. Maybe it's because I am not an Aussie, and I did not get all the subtleties of this film. Anyway, I did not like it.Seeing 'Fat Pizza' was to me kind of like trying to listen to rap / hip-hop music. I am 50+, I belong to the rock generation, I love all kind of music and pretend to be a liberal, but rappers still are beyond my taste. I have nothing against, I respect the right of other people to listen and like them, they are just too far away from my universe and taste for me to enjoy their work. I cannot follow all their texts, I do not like their music (ar lack of music), they are too fast, I do not share their feelings.Same with 'Fat Pizza'. The film is apparently inspired by a TV series. What I did like was that it's different from your usual TV comedy stuff. The film does not try to be politically correct, which is really spoiling many American comedies today. The rhythm is crazy, and this is the main problem in my opinion. It is so crazy and fast that you do not have time to follow the jokes. There is not too much connection between the gags either, no line of action or humor, and the result is unfortunately no better than in a less than average sitcom.That's too bad. The watching experience is different but the result is not better than bad comedy, scarcely extracting a smile now and then.But after all, it may be just me. Perhaps after seeing a few more rap comedies like this I will get to understanding better and even enjoying the genre. Same as with rap music. The question is whether they will get me watching or listening to them.4 out of 10 on my personal scale.

mentalcritic In this world where we must be politically correct a hundred percent of the time or face court, Fat Pizza is like a breath of fresh air simply because it doesn't go out of its way to not offend anyone. We've all grown tired of films that go out of their way to please everyone and wind up pleasing noone as a result, so here's one that goes out of its way to please noone.And it winds up pleasing most anyone who has ever lived in a city where there are a lot of people who represent an ethnic minority. Even people from California or New York might relate to it on some level. If you have never been outside of an exclusively Anglo-Saxon community, on the other hand, don't bother.It has been stated that the film is little more than an extended episode of the television series, and this is true to some extent. However, the cinema format removes a lot of the restraints inherent in television, and as a result, the humour is more unapologetically ethnic, disgusting, and just plain revolting. The Farrelly brothers are complete tryhards in comparison to Paul Fenech and his cohorts. And the refreshing thing is that they truly don't care who they offend, offering absolutely no apologies whatsoever.Another fun element of Fat Pizza is spotting all of the cameos from minor, or even major, Australian celebrities. Angry Anderson, Red Symons, Kamahl, Elliot Goblet, even Jeff Fenech himself - anyone who has ever been anyone on Australian television is packed in here, and you'll need to watch the film twice just to identify them all. The best part is that they're not taking themselves even remotely seriously.When Red Symons happily tells the illegal immigrants that "We take bribes", or Kamahl asks us for the zillionth time why people are so unkind, one cannot help but laugh because it is all so utterly irreverent in a time when it should be. Forget about political correctness here - if you want to see Lebanese men acting like utter imbeciles while bikies, Italian gangsters, and bad Ronald McDonald clones give them hell, this is the film you've been waiting for. You will not find a scene where a stoned Anglo pizza delivery boy runs over cyclists and thinking he's scoring points for it in any American film before this one was made, I can garantee that. If you see it in one that was made after mid-2003, I can guarantee that it won't be nearly as funny.Normally, I would never have considered this film because of its shameless appeal to the lowest common denominator, but it scores big because it represents a much-needed loosening of the collar in this day and age where minor mischief on the part of people who are treated like slaves in our society is treated like a spree of murders. Well done, Paul Fenech - people like you may well be the salvation of this blinkered, speak-no-evil society that none of us who were born in the 1970s or 1980s actually want. Ten out of ten for laughs, but minus two for going just a tiny bit too far at times (and even they were pretty funny because of the loosening up that the rest of the film offers).

andrew-416 I've seen the tv show a few times. I thought the movie would be pushing it, trying to stretch the tv show to a movie length. Plus i thought it would be one of those low budget aussie movies that mainly appealed to ethnic audiences. Like Wog Boy etc. So i wasn't expecting too much from the movie.I was p***ing myself laughing through lots of the movie. I thought i was going to die because i was laughing too much.There's jokes about race/religions, public tradegies (sept 11 & more). So if you are offended by bad taste jokes, stay away. This is where i thought some of the jokes were soooooo wrong, but i found it sooooo funny.I never wondered what time it was, or how long to go, as i usually do in movies (including bourne identity). This movie kept me amused all the time.A LOT better than what i thought it would be, and i'd be happy to pay the full admission price again to drag my mates there.
