I Feel Pretty (2018) Reviews

• My honest review = outstanding! Ignore the haters and wannabe critics!

  If anyone questions this review, click on my name and you will see my over 530 reviews, not just this one review. This film was surprisingly outstanding, and something today's society needs to see. For starters, it is something fresh. Then I give the highest props to both joint writer and directors Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein, of which this is only their 2nd film directing (1st being a short) and they nailed it. I never would have guessed this was directed by 2 novice directors. Also as seasoned writers, this one is a winner for me. This film had everything, a great story - and message- for current social issues, comedy, and romance. It was 100% pure entertainment. All these whiners complaining it's predictable... so what? So is a roller coaster ride, and I still go on it over and over, because it's entertaining and I enjoy it. What level of moron does one have to be to nitpick apart or psychoanalyze a comedy anyway?? I am shocked and appalled at all these haters and wannabe critics slamming this film, and especially at those who gave this an undeserving 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5! There are so many garbage films out these days - bad writing, directing, casting, acting and lame humor that have higher scores than this film and it makes me shake my head. This film made me laugh - literally out loud, more than any other comedy this year, and almost cry. Sure maybe it was cheesy, but is was LMAO cheesy, and we have Amy Schumer to thank for that. I will admit, I'm not the biggest Amy Schumer fan, but she simply just nailed her role in this film - and probably her best performance to date, and I can't think of anyone else that could have been cast better for this role. Mad props to Amy Schumer as she now has my full respect and I am a fan! Everyone in this film was cast perfectly, from Emily Ratajkowski who also nailed her role and was perfectly cast for it, to the basement computer guy Adrian Martinez. The pacing was perfect as was the length. For me, this film was near perfection. Ignore the haters and wannabe critics and watch this fun and entertaining film, you will not regret it, and I'll bet you'll be just as surprised as I am! Will certainly recommend and watch again. A very well deserved 9/10 fun ride from me!

• What The Hell?

  Surprised to see how low the rating is for this movie. I went to see this movie when I felt like giving up on life in the hope that it would help me feel better and it did. After watching I Feel Pretty I realized it's not about what happens in my life, but how I see it. Wonderful movie I love it

• It doesn't try to be anything that it isn't. And that's kinda the point.

  You're going to see a lot of reviews on here say that it's predictable, silly, probably a few other criticisms that are perfectly fair. But this movie knows what it is, and the authenticity makes it enjoyable. It has a genuinely sweet romance, great comedic moments, and good messages. It's a silly romcom with a lot of charm and heart, and it's worth a couple hours of your time. Give it a chance.

  Director's tandem "In active search" Abby Kon / Mark Silverstein releases a slightly straight-line tape about the hard share of a woman in the Big City. Lonely girl Renee (Amy Schumer) working as a sysadmin in a company that produces elite cosmetics. Her job is to maintain the site. Her office is a closet in the basement. Her only employee is "IT in a vacuum" Mason (Adrian Martinez). Her weight is above normal. Its forms are not ideal. Her closest friends are the same lonely matrons. Its prospects are vague, and the future ... What is the future? .. But one day the Universe rewards Renee with a blow to the simulator, after which the main character, without changing externally, changes internally. Now she sincerely thinks of herself as a "bugini", turning others into her faith. "Pretty woman on the whole head" is a theater of one actress. 36-year-old Amy Schumer already once again gets used to the role of a girl with typical teenage problems, devilishly skillfully transforming the nuances of her non-model appearance into a concentrated bunch of positive energy. Sumer groped for her niche, clearly defined her audience and now, without sputtering, sends that fervent greeting. The trailer "Pretty Woman" creates a more repulsive impression at the expense of scenes taken out of context, when the "bugini" starts up in all serious ones, exposing their bodies to the show. In fact, the full meter turned out to be much more kind, warm and places really ridiculous. And the wild dances shown in the video, in the outline of the whole timing, acquire a completely different color. In the active picture we also enter the love line, touchingly played by the tamer of Sumer-Skovel. Full self-irony tape sends its viewers an unambiguous message that you need to love yourself here and now. Despite the fact that the surrounding reality crushes someone with established canons, and a glossy instagramchik every day makes him pinch his side in search of extra kilos. This world will love you right after you love yourself. Unfortunately, in a noble attempt to convey the main idea to the masses, the authors often swim for buoys, and they are demolished by a storm of frank, straightforward moralizing. Omitting the two-hour effort of Amy Schumer, which is laid out in the "Beauty" for 100%, the writers for some reason attribute to the hero whole sermons that closer to the final credits can spoil the impression of the picture. In general, "Pretty woman on the whole head" - a good comedy with a positive mood. It is recommended for viewing, both to couples, and to those who have not yet grown fond of themselves enough.

• Great movie!

  allysonjones-141002018-04-21

  I seriously don't get the horrible reviews on this movie! People are constantly hating on Amy and sometimes I feel like they have nothing better to do. I really enjoyed this movie! I thought it had such a good story line and it really spoke to me. I, as with many women, struggle with self esteem and this movie couldn't have shown a better representation of what it's like being on the average or less then average spectrum. It truly was an empowering movie for women and I respect Amy for playing this role. There wasn't a single quiet moment in the theatre tonight. Everyone was laughing!
