The film is a maddening journey of comic bullseyes and structural mishaps that strain the interest and believability of the project. Seeing the film in a full cinema on a Sunday afternoon and being one of only four males in the room was only one of the more unusual circumstances. The other being the almost complete lack of laughter from the audience, even in the very funny moments the film provides. You would think that those that arrive to see a Amy Schumer film would be well versed in what to expect. This audience seemed intent on not enjoying themselves.

The idea behind the storyline (that of beauty being contained within and not just a manifestation of appearance) is one told often and more effectively elsewhere but the film does have some funny moments and did provide a modicum of entertainment. It seems a shame the gathered masses were so intent and not sharing the collective fun.

The film falls into one of those niches that become a reality when a comedian crates a strong persona and people with money rush in to attempt to ride the coat tales. With a stronger director and sharper script I Feel Pretty would have provided a more solid foundation to what is a funny and talented comedian.

In the new romantic comedy I Feel Pretty, Amy Schumer stars as Renee, who desperately wants to be one of the “pretty” girls. After a freak accident during spin class, her dream comes true when she wakes up to a completely new reflection, believing she is now the most beautiful woman on the planet.

With a newfound confidence, she is empowered to live her life fearlessly and flawlessly, climbing the ranks at the cosmetics company she works for, earning the respect of her boss Avery LeClair (Michelle Williams), and bagging a cute boyfriend in Ethan. The catch? To everyone around her, Renee looks exactly the same.
