Storyline

"Muffin Top: A Love Story" is the story of Suzanne (Cathryn Michon) a Women's Studies Pop Culture professor at Malibu University, who studies images of women in the media for a living, and yet is made insecure by the constant parade of female perfection that is our airbrushed culture. She has been going through IVF treatments to get pregnant by her network executive husband (Diedrich Bader), but discovers on her birthday, that her husband has knocked up his younger, skinnier, co-worker (Haylie Duff) and wants a divorce. Happy Birthday! She goes on to find a more authentic version of who she really is, despite the delights of being suddenly single in Los Angeles, where low self-esteem for women is our number one export to the world. Written by Cathryn Michon

Adorable and so funny!
13 November 2014 | by See all my reviews

This is actually a laugh out loud movie - the star, Cathryn Michon is so adorable, earnest and hapless in her search for balance and happiness in her life when it is turned upside down. The rest of the cast is super funny as well, and you can tell they had a great time improving while making this movie, they all played so well together. The movie has a great message, too, about accepting yourself just as you are - without being too preachy or cramming the message down your throat. It really did make me feel better about myself, and proud to be a strong female! I'm so glad I bought it instead of renting it so I can watch it again. Loved it!
