Survival of the Thickest
CriticsCritics: 80
AudienceAudience: 7.3
Black, plus-size and newly single, Mavis has to rebuild her life after betting everything on one man. With the help of her chosen family, she sets out not just to survive, but to thrive.
My takeYou’ll like this if you want a feel-good, city-based comedy about rebuilding love and life with chosen family; Not for you if you dislike overly optimistic rom-com energy like Nobody Wants This or if you want deeper relationship struggle than the quick, uplifting tone of Love.
