Summary: Armed with biting humor and quirky sensibility, Rodney and his Rubenesque friend Sabrina are valiantly suffering through the indignity known as high school.

Both are outcasts; he’s gay and she’s overweight. Trapped in a small Texas town and having come to accept his “fat girl” within, Rodney is an aspiring Broadway star who musters up the energy to confront his fears and take life – and the hot new student from England – by the horns. With Rodney’s awkward experiences, off-beat attitude and strange evangelical family, “Fat Girls” is a hilarious rollercoaster ride that careens to an outrageous climax. This auspicious debut announces the arrival of filmmaker and star Ash Christian as a major new talent. (Regent Releasing)… Expand

Stephen Holden

Love love loved it. The immaturity in direction complements the style of the film and it's themes. For such a young director, Ash Christian is someone to watch out for, or at least John Waters and Gus Van Sant need to harness this kid. This was a perfect surprise from the new Love love loved it.

For such a young director, Ash Christian is someone to watch out for, or at least John Waters and Gus Van Sant need to harness this kid.
