I don’t tend to hate on a lot of movies, because I
always seem to enjoy any movie I watch in some way. However, this one was a
bummer. I enjoy Amy Schumer as a person and her other movie Trainwreck was hilarious to me, but I Feel Pretty just didn’t go well.
A short summary of the movie would be about a not
skinny, but not fat woman gets knocked out falling of a bike at soul cycle. Then
after waking up her confidence gets boosted and she believes she is drop dead gorgeous.
She can apply to the job she wanted and ask some guy out. The ending message is
your beautiful no matter what size you are or how you look.
Though the message was plan and simple it was hard to
understand that coming from Amy Schumer. Schumer is not skinny, but she is not
fat either. She’s also not what you would call ugly. So, I don’t get how they
were trying to portray her as that.
However, besides the iffy message being told this
movie was supposed to be a comedy. Walking into the movie, most of the people
were white woman. While me and my two friends were black. I don’t know if that
had anything to do with it, but my friends and I did not laugh at almost all
the jokes being told (Even looking through twitter mostly all the people
applauding this movie was white women). However, the other people in the
theater were cracking up at even the corniest jokes and to the ones that were
already in the trailer.
I honestly don’t know what else to say about this
movie besides the fact it had a good premise and was badly written. I hope Amy
Schumer does something better than this in the future.
I do think Rory Scovel who played Ethan and Michelle Williams were some of the standouts.
