Brittany Runs a Marathon

I was really pleasantly surprised by this one. It was funny, but not really crass. There were a few cringey moments where the characters make terrible decisions or say things that are just painful to watch, but actually this was balanced by a lot of really adorable moments. I was afraid the movie might be too trivializing or too preachy, but it really did get down to the core of accepting help and that we all need people message. I actually ended up weeping at this one. I certainly did not see that coming! It had a lot more depth than I ever imagined it would. Highly recommend!

So, you're not wrong, Andrea, but you have it twisted. I am not going to get into it, but I dumbfoundedly shocked by this movie. It was honest, funny, not at all preachy or perfect, relatable on multiple levels and moving. For a fat guy who is trying, always trying, it was clear this movie was made by people who understand the struggle of the human condition. And not necessarily just those of being fat. This was more than about a fat girl who becomes a good normal. There were portions of the dialogue I wanted to record and send to others in my life, and portions I wanted to record and send to myself. IDK yet, but this movie could easily become one of my favorite movies of the year.

If anyone sees it and disagrees, you have to let me know why, because this movie was so touching and entertaining, I actually can't imagine how that would be the case.

A lovely movie about overcoming ones obstacles, old ones and new ones. Will make you smile and motivates to do as the protagonist did.

This film tells the story of a woman who decides to do something about her weight. However, it appears that her issues are more than just the weight. She goes through a journey of self discovery, and I think this is likely to resonate with a lot of people. It did resonate with me.

I came into this movie with low expectations. It really surprised me. It was raw, genuine and inspirational. Jillian Bells commitment to the role is something to be celebrated.
