Renee Barrett (Schumer) is a young, professional woman who struggles with debilitating feelings of inadequacy about her appearance. She frequently apologizes, and has trouble getting people to pay attention to her or treat her with respect. She works as the website manager for a large cosmetics company called Lily LeClaire, however, she resents that her office is in a basement in Chinatown and not at the corporate Fifth Avenue headquarters. She learns that LeClaire is hiring for a new receptionist, but Renee does not see a point in applying because she does not feel like she is confident or attractive enough to serve as the "face" of LeClaire.
Renee attends a SoulCycle class but falls off her bike and hits her head. Once she regains consciousness, she is unable to see her body as it actually is. Instead, when she looks in the mirror or at photographs of herself, she sees a body of a thin and conventionally attractive woman. This head injury gives her a newfound confidence. She becomes instantly happier and more energetic and she is allowing herself to interact with the world differently. She mistakenly believes that a man is hitting on her in a dry cleaner and exchanges numbers with him and she applies for the receptionist position at LeClaire. While being interviewed, she impresses the company's CEO, Avery LeClaire (Williams), with her confidence, and subsequently lands the job. Renee proves herself to be efficient at her job, with Grant LeClaire, Avery's brother, taking notice with how Renee handles herself.
This movie was pretty great for going out to enjoy the evening and even has a good and impotant conclusion we should all embrace. The punch line timings were terrific and I laughed most of the movie. I can't understand the 1 and 2 star reviews, I guess Amy has many haters but it's definitly not a low rated movie. The whole theater applauded at the end which is not common here.
Giving out the message that we all need to have a bit more confidence is so important nowadays with the constant obbsessions of weight loss and the Instagram fashion which is just making everyone extremly obssesed with looks and body shape. I think it's not only a fun and funny movie but can actually improve some lives (kind of remindes me yes man in the way that it is something to think about also after the movie ends).
The way Amy acts shows such a difference when full of confidence to shy and embarrased. I couldn't believe what a difference it can make and it's all within us.
I recommend to go see I Feel Pretty, I have to admit this is my first review ever.
The film was released in the United States on April 20, 2018, by STXfilms. It received mixed reviews from critics, with many saying it did not fully commit to its premise or tone, although the performances of Schumer and Williams were praised
