Gut-to-Go (2010)
LOL and WOW! Gives Women a Voice.
Gut to Go does exactly the opposite of what most comedies do nowadays. It avoids cheap humor and steers clear of gross-out jokes. There is nothing cookie cutter or predictable about it. The humor is intelligent, clever and not at all recycled. I smiled the entire time I watched this film, and laughed often. But most importantly I left the theater feeling inspired and upbeat, as this film has such a great message about body- issues and the media and society's attempt to make women feel bad about themselves while pumping the male ego. As a woman who has struggled with weight issues for most of her life and has suffered in my personal and professional life because of it, only to see men with bellies thrive, this movie affected me on a profound level. I thank the brilliant filmmaker Bri Prooker for that. We need more women filmmakers like her to give us women a voice and to make audiences think -- and laugh out loud!!
