Review: I Feel Pretty

I Feel Pretty
Cert: 12A / 110 mins / Dir. Abby Kohn & Marc Silverstein / Trailer



I like Amy Schumer but I Feel Pretty is dire. It might be the first studio-comedy to have apparently completed production without a shooting-script. Each scene and set-piece drags along aimlessly, petering out before a punchline is delivered, while the two or three decent jokes from the trailer are presented without that quickfire pace and are robbed of any dynamic rapport as a result.

For a movie with 'a message' about 21st century feminism, not a single female character escapes being body-shamed, objectified, patronised or flat-out mocked.

Central gag: fat woman falls off bike.
Excruciating.

Well, demographically speaking, the trailers before his were for Patrick, Mamma Mia 2, Adrift and Book Club. There may have been another, I was too busy looking up the contact details for Dignitas.

But I imagine that if you enjoyed the soul-sucking superficiality of The Intern, you've love I Feel Pretty.

No.



That's possible, but unlikely since nobody else seems to like it either.



No.



Level 2: Amy Schumer was in Trainwreck alongside Bill 'BB-8' Hader.
