A true comedy of the summer, I Feel Pretty, in addition to making the viewer laugh, makes him feel better in his sneakers. "What if you could change everything, without changing anything at all" is the mantra that the film offers.

Want a little freshness? Laughter? To meet natural characters? Go see I Feel PrettyAmy Schumer plays Renee, a young woman with little self-confidence. She dreams of changing her appearance, to become one of her magazine models. One day after a ridiculous accident, she believes her dream has come true. She then finally finds the path of self-confidence.

Real characters

What is appreciable in I Feel Pretty are the characters embodying ordinary people, with their dreams, their hopes, but also their doubts and fears. The viewer easily identifies with Renee's character. Indeed, she embodies all young adults who cannot find satisfaction in their situations and who do not have confidence in themselves. Through her madness and decadence, Renee will show the way to self-acceptance.

Comedy from start to finish

Netflix offers with I Feel Pretty, a real comedy where the viewer laughs from the beginning to the end of the film. The funniest situations in which Renee puts herself do not allow a single moment of boredom. Despite the fact that the basic story is quite sad (Renee does not trust herself, she feels lonely and ugly), the turn of events makes the situations funny and full of freshness.

A scenario not very original but well worked

The scenario is quite classic in the genre. A girl who does not have confidence in herself and whose change of appearance will push to have confidence. The originality here is in the fact that the character only believes he has changed his appearance, which is not the case. The staging to create the illusion that Renee sees herself differently is rather well crafted. All this illusion makes the film comic at will.

Amy Schumer seems born to make people laugh. With I Feel Pretty, she finally returns, after Crazy Amy, in a role that fits her like a glove. Netflix offers us a perfect movie to relax and give yourself a little confidence. So if you want to start the new school year, go see I Feel Pretty. In the "light films for back-to-school" category, you can also see To All the Boys I've Loved Before.
