Good idea, poorly executed
I find Amy Schumer a bit hit and miss. Her book and Trainwreck were great, but everything else I've seen her in has been poor. And I'm afraid this film is probably closer to the latter.

First of all, the message and idea behind this film about body positivity is wonderful and there is a lot in this that I can relate to (the opening scene in the gym for instance). Also the exchanges between Renee and Emily Ratajkowski's character were well done in highlighting how people judge the girls who are lucky enough to look like models (I'd be lying if I said I dont do this myself). The problem is it's very poorly executed. For a comedy, I think I laughed once and despite the good message, I found it rather dull. And Renee's big personality change due to her new perceived beauty seemed a little bit far fetched
I did however enjoy Michelle Williams being utterly ridiculous as Avery and there really needed to be more Tom Hopper!

Overall there's a great message in this but I think it sadly gets lost in poor execution.
