The last time that Amy Schumer starred as the female lead of a major romantic-comedy, her casting was treated as some kind of subversive act. And, to a certain extent, maybe it was. On the one hand, a blonde, white, able-bodied comedienne on 3,000 movie screens probably shouldn’t be hailed as the Jackie Robinson of meet-cutes just because she wasn’t Weird-Scienced by a focus group of horny teenage boys in a secret Hollywood lab (“I’m probably like 160 pounds right now and can catch a dick whenever I want,” Schumer memorably declared the month before “Trainwreck” opened). On the other hand, when some male critics are inspired to say things like “there’s no way she’d be an object of heated…

long story short, someone email me a ticket to see this but in imax lol (please don’t ask) but I had to watch it so you guys don’t have too but I Feel Pretty has funny moments, a brilliant performance by Michelle Williams, and a worthwhile message, albeit one delivered at the end of a sledgehammer. Unfortunately, the 110 minute runtime drags on far too long and most of it is more cringe-worthy than amusing.

If I'm being perfectly honest, for as derivative -- comparisons to Big, What Women Want, and Shallow Hal are justified -- and admittedly questionable as its core premise is, I honestly think it has legitimate potential to be a smart, provocative, funny comedy. However, I Feel Pretty is anything but. It takes the completely WRONG direction with this idea, resulting in what is quite honestly one of the most embarrassing fucking things I have ever seen in theaters.
Amy Schumer's protagonist is supposed to be the relatable everywoman character we're meant to identify and sympathize with seeing as she's insecure and not particularly confident about herself and she's average-looking -- by the standards of Hollywood that is, because let's be…

oh yeah i seen this before my secret screening and forgot to log it which never happens, thats how forgettable it was. both stars are for michelle williams

Had it’s funny moments but was mainly just a good, inspiring message. Instantly forgettable, however nowhere near as bad as Snatched!
-
Michelle Williams not having any scenes with Busy Philipps is a hate crime against me.

Simpático, bonitinho e até que importante no que se propõe. Mas é uma variante da comédia verbal bem rasteira, com gags visuais não muito elaboradas e, tirando a protagonista e seu conflito, todos os outros coadjuvantes são vazios e unidimensionais. A narrativa baseada na clássica estrutura de "Quero Ser Grande" admitida no filme tem um bom crescendo mas também jamais anda para fora da mesma. Bem-intencionado porém esquecível.

Not as bad as it could have been! Amy is great, Michelle is a genius, and the film offers a few mildly comedic, non-cringeworthy gags and manages to avoid complete disaster, which, under the circumstances, should probably count as a success.
