When I saw the preview for this movie I was pumped to see one of my favorites, Busy Phillips, in a supporting role! If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know that I LOVED her in CougarTown. As soon as I was invited, I texted my friends and booked their calendars for a fun screening. One of my friends loves Amy Schumer, so I knew it would be the perfect girl’s night out.

I Feel Pretty is a hilarious and relatable comedy about an ordinary woman, Renee (Amy Schumer), who struggles with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy about herself both outwardly and inwardly. After suffering a fall, she wakes up believing that her physical appearance has changed to what she believes is the perfect version of herself, but unbeknownst to her, she looks exactly the same. With this new found “beauty,” suddenly she is confident, empowered, and fearless. She marches through life with an altered perception of her physical self and a staunch self-assuredness that leads her to comedic interactions with the other people in her life. On the outside, Renee has not changed at all, but her perception of herself has.

I Feel Pretty is a genuine, heartfelt, emotional comedy that anyone who has ever felt a little unsure and a little un-pretty can relate too. You laugh with Renee, you root for her, and you wonder what will happen when she realizes that her appearance never changed after all. The cast is rounded out superbly with Academy Award® Winner, Michelle Williams, Aidy Bryant, Busy Phillips, Naomi Campbell, and Emily Ratajkowski.
