Trivia:

The makers of the British comic magazine "Viz", where the "Fat Slags" characters originally appeared, had no editorial control over this production. It was reported that they were so appalled by the final result that they dropped the characters from the magazine following the film's release. However, the strip was not dropped and that the comic creators never had any intention of doing so. This was probably based on a misquote. more

Quotes:

Sandra: [Pulls out a cigerette] All right, Trace?
Tracey: No. I hear this welding is bad for your health!

As an old time Viz reader, I liked it a lot, 20 January 2006
9/10
Author: drharper from United Kingdom

Eeeeee.... ah started readin' t'Viz when ya could onnly get't at't Kard Bar...... which is the one outlet in Newcastle that sold the thing way before its glory days (also now long gone). But on that basis, I feel entitled to say that this is actually a very funny film. It has an incredible cast, looked the part- OK, they departed from the usual locations of Mr. Vitoni's and the Dog & Hammer, but for me it worked (except for the fact that Dolph Lundgren got away with his shorts still on, of course). Geri Haliwell was actually rather excellent, and Anthony Head was superb ("...and Ethiopa has a space programme..."). The number of genuinely funny moments was enough to sustain a pleasant game of "spot the cameo"). Overall, vastly better than the animated version, and a thoroughly enjoyable bit of light entertainment. After all, anything that combines a dig at the Turner Prize with an informed critique of the doner kebab can't be all bad. Give it a try- you might just agree that it is extremely funny.
