The film is based on the actual experiences of writer/director Paul Downs Colaizzo’s roommate, Brittany O’Neill, who ran the New York Marathon in 2014. This work succeeds in presenting how restrictive and narrow minded the expectations placed on females in our current society really are. It also doesn’t limit the throwing of shade just on male recipients.

With a story that is equal parts touching and humorous, Bell brings a surprising level of complexity to the role. While the end results seem more than predetermined, the journey to get there is filled with relatable moments that mirror one’s own varied experiences with different forms of body dysmorphia.

Making its point in the most human of ways and ensuring the proceedings are never less than entertaining is a considerable accomplishment. Add in an ending that really resonates with pleasing emotion and you have a film that is both compelling and enlightening.

Brittany Forgler is 27 years old and a mess: her boss is disappointed in her, her doctor is worried about her, her friends don’t respect her, and, worst of all, she doesn’t respect herself.

In search of a new life, Brittany laces up her Converse and runs one block. The next day, two. Pretty soon, a mile. She finally has direction, but is she on the right path?

Brittany Runs a Marathon is the story of a woman who wants a better life, and sets out to conquer herself one city block at a time.

Brittany Runs a Marathon stars Jillian Bell, Michaela Watkins, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Micah Stock and Lil Rel Hower.
