Reviews
Despite its charming premise and cultural significance, Fat and Thin received mixed reviews upon its release. On IMDb, it holds a score of 4.3/10, indicating that many viewers found the film lacking in several aspects. Critics noted that while the film aimed to tackle important themes regarding body image and friendship, it often relied on clichéd jokes and predictable scenarios. One reviewer from 'Rotten Tomatoes' commented, “Though it starts strong with a promising premise, the humor quickly loses its charm, often feeling forced.” However, some viewers appreciated its light-hearted approach, stating that it’s ‘a nostalgic trip for those familiar with the era’. Additionally, some fans praised Milan 'Lane' Gutović’s charismatic performance, which brought depth to an otherwise formulaic comedic structure. Yet, overall, the film's attempts at social commentary often fell flat, leading to a polarized reception within its audience.
