REVIEW SUMMARY
"While I Feel Pretty is as subtle as a frying pan to the face (the message is VERY heavy handed), the message is a good one and there are some genuine laughs to be had. A big problem is that this felt like an 'Amy Schumer-Lite film" given the PG13 rating. She does hold her own however and proves she can carry a movie. Michelle Williams is a real treat to watch here as well and pretty much steals all the scenes she's in. In the end, it all equates to an amusing and predictable little movie that, while not always pretty, will make you feel good."
