Schumer has produced a heart warming comedy for all ages with this positive and uplifting film, though it must be noted that the razor sharp and tawdry humour she is known for is very muted in this film. The performances are solid, andSchumer has produced a heart warming comedy for all ages with this positive and uplifting film, though it must be noted that the razor sharp and tawdry humour she is known for is very muted in this film. The performances are solid, and Williams is surprisingly funny, with a storyline that is compelling if predictable. This is a film which does what it says on the tin, and delivers a funny and entertaining experience that is perhaps more suited to home viewing, but still with your time. 7.02/10 Expand

I am shocked that this movie go such bad reviews. I laughed out loud at so many scenes-it is a comedy and I thought it was very funny. A little preachy at the end but the funny parts outweighed the preachiness. Reminds me of Lucille Ball,I am shocked that this movie go such bad reviews.

The plot is fun and there is no raunch factor! My friends and I loved it! There is a great message in this film and it is presented in the plot/story in a really cute way. It is definitely more of a chick flick, although I guess guys could enjoy it too. But, the message of loving yourself and who you are brings confidence is one the vast majoriy of women will understand. Amy is adorable as Renee, a woman who undergoes a transformation under unusual circumstances, and plays the part very sweetly. Loved her “boyfriend” played by Rory Scovel. Michelle Williams is almost unrecognizable as Avery, a cosmetics tycoon with a teeny, tiny voice, She believes in Renee and they each give the other the confidence they need. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My wife and I see about one movie a week, generally Friday night date night. I never write reviews. However, when I saw some of the bad reviews people were leaving for this film, it really surprised me. I thought it was a fantastic film, and I was really happy we saw it. I see so many movies that are truly awful, and I regret even spending the time or money seeing, but this movie had me rolling with laughter the whole way through; it has a great message, and we walked out of the theater all laughs as we retold each other our favorite one liners. I don’t know what people expect anymore, but I suspect those that left a poor review were expecting a raunchy buddy comedy, which this isn’t. This is a funny and sweet rom-com, that avoids all of the cheesy trappings of typical rom-coms. It was my wife’s turn to pick the movie, so it wasn't really my choice, but I was really happy I went. I laughed a lot, especially the first 20 minutes. I really liked some of the choices made for this movie as well. For example, when Schumer turns "pretty", we all see her looking into the mirror, and to the audience nothing changes, but for her she has completely transformed. So unlike Shallow Hal, we never see a different image for Schumer, she is the only one that sees the "pretty" version of herself. I also liked the fact that she never cheats on her boyfriend, which for me makes a character less sympathetic. In the end it is a really sweet movie, with a great message - that you should love yourself no matter how attractive/unattractive you are on the outside, but that personality and character are much more attractive than physical beauty. A big plus for me is that I can tell everyone to go see it, my parents, my wife’s parents, people at work, people at church. I thought it was appropriate for everyone. Expand

Maybe it's just because I feel pretty (spiritually), and happy myself, but I found this movie touching, genuine, moving, utterly hilarious, and almost a crash course in spiritual awakening / being your authentic self. Thank you.

Schumer is charming as always. As the super-confident Renee Bennett she's playing a character we've seen her do before -- but when she's the insecure Renee Bennett, she shows a vulnerable side we haven't seen often. Expand

Trolls, who didn't even watch the movie, are out in force here. Ignore them. The movie has some true funny moments. The overall vibe is fairly a fairly sweet rom com.

This movie is hilarious! It’s funny and the story is great because it’s authentic, crazy, sad and mirrors our superficial society where being beautiful is more important than everything else. I give it a 10 to balance out the low ratings.

Don't be fooled, this isn't just another pretty face. Schumer brings the laughs and a welcome, body-positive message makes this surprisingly smart comedy a solid hit.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not a perfect movie. Why do I like it so much? It ostensibly skewers the women's fashion/beauty industry, in Devil Wears Prada mode. HOWEVER, IFP has a broader intent/critique aimed more generally at Western (urban) culture. It's NOT aiming at being perfect itself. That's like an implicit message. IFP is comedy w/ a serious edge. That tension and 'contradiction'--and of course hot mess Schumer-- make it work, kind of accidently/brilliantly. Seriously good and funny. Expand
