Interesting that there is controversy about her intent for the film, here is Amy Schumer’s response to the backlash:
Amy Schumer New Film Is Here – And Controversial!
Amy Schumer is, arguably, America’s funniest female Comedian right now, but her new film is creating headlines for its storyline…
As in previous films, Schumer once again takes on the subject of physical beauty and, in “I Feel Pretty”, knocks it on its head. But it’s that storyline that is creating headlines.
First, here is the very funny trailer for “I Feel Pretty”:
The plot of “I Feel Pretty” is simple: a woman hits her head and wakes up thinking she is “pretty” – and it’s that concept, the idea of physical beauty and its value in today’s society, that is causing the controversy.

Her movie sounds great in concept, but i guess people will think it has poor execution.. I hope for her that it goes well though because even if it can be controversial, we do need to talk about things like these! Great post, John 🙂

Thanks for your comment – what bothered me is there was so much negativity BEFORE the film was seen – I agree the topic is worthy of discussion and she is trying to do that, we will see how successful she was!

I really loved Trainwrecked and found it so so funny! I like the look of ‘I feel Pretty’, I think that it will be a funny film that’s somwthing a little different. I definitely think Amy is really funny, think she has a lot of people that don’t like her which ends up with her getting a lot of hate.

Yes, she has taken a lot of online criticism – which feels like backlash for her success, because how many films gets criticized for their TRAILERS? People were looking to go after her, I say let the work speak for itself and besides “Trainwreck”, “Snatched” is very entertaining as well! Thanks for the comment!

Yes, I so agree! Think with certain celebrities people look for reasons to go after them and criticize their work. It is such a shame!

She is being treated a bit unfairly – since most of the controversy is about what people perceive her POV to be in the film, and she has been very vocal about what the film means to her – mew ife and I plan to see it, we like her and this backlash seems unwarranted – at this point

As I said in the original, I actually find Amy’s curvy figure very attractive. The plot does sound rather like ‘Shallow Hal’ though.
Best wishes, Pete.
