At it best, I Feel Pretty works as shameless fierce send-up of contemporary beauty standards. Read full review

St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonApr 19, 2018
I Feel Pretty takes a while to get going, but it eventually finds its groove and proves to be an amusing showcase for Schumer’s talents. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperApr 19, 2018
Schumer is doing another slightly tweaked but virtually indistinguishable variation on the same wisecracking, self-deprecating, insecure, if-only-she-could-see-her-wonderfulness underdog she’s played before. She’s clearly in her comfort zone and she eventually wins us over in this uneven, hit-and-miss, broad comedy — but here’s hoping the next time around, she tries something new. Read full review

UproxxVince ManciniApr 18, 2018
I Free Pretty is surprisingly resonant for a high concept light comedy, offering all the catharsis of watching someone truly discover herself and own it, as well as the awkwardness and pain of watching someone needlessly tear herself down and self-sabotage. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleApr 18, 2018
This whole concept is a rich vein for gags, especially with a comic as at-home with herself as Schumer. But there’s something sweet and wise about it, too. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangApr 18, 2018
It's a sweet, klutzy charmer, with moments of wit, insight and, yes, beauty, some of which it seems to stumble upon by accident. Read full review

Screen DailyTim GriersonApr 18, 2018
Like its appealing main character, I Feel Pretty is a smart, funny comedy that isn’t always confident enough in its potential greatness. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichApr 18, 2018
Not exactly the first movie that’s ever dared to suggest that it’s what’s on the inside that counts, I Feel Pretty at least has the decency to be honest about how far that wisdom can take you. Read full review

Vanity FairK. AUSTIN COLLINSApr 25, 2018
Sure, the movie’s moral arc distracts from what’s best about it, but its highs are indeed high. I don’t believe that the cure for our hashtag-flawless-obsessed culture is easy encouragement. But you don’t have to save the world to make a good movie. Read full review

Fellow comedian Dave Attell is his delightfully twisted self as the MC at a Coney Island bikini contest where Renee puts on a wild spectacle compared to the typical skinny girls who populate such events. Again, this isn’t a moment of body shaming. It’s an unbridled display of enthusiasm. We’re laughing with her, not at her. If only the rest of the film had such complete confidence. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreApr 18, 2018
An almost-empowering, never-quite-hilarious farce that gets by on charm. Read full review

USA TodayBrian TruittApr 18, 2018
I Feel Pretty offers aspirational touches that match the "Get it, girl" shirt sported by Schumer's character, but the mostly feel-good cinematic parable often has trouble finding the right balance between goofball humor and earnest message. Read full review
