Even after seeing such a low rating score, I decided to see this movie because the trailer made me laugh. The jokes could be predictable at times, and perhaps the message that we should seek the beauty on the inside has been heard before, but this story had one more message for the women (and girls) out there who don't feel pretty.
The best message in the film was this; when she moved and expressed herself with confidence, people took notice. After hitting her head and believing that some magic made her pretty, Schumer's character predictably began behaving with more confidence and assertiveness. She was still plump, her features didn't change, but the people she came in contact with were impressed, perhaps a little awed, that she appeared to be a woman who was completely comfortable with exactly who she was. THIS is what her new beau, the people in the bar, and the beautiful people at work found attractive in her. A woman who accepted everything about herself, and did not base her self value in what other people thought of her.
I enjoyed this movie, and it conveys a message more people should see. Accept yourself, with all of your strengths and all of your flaws. Be confident that you are worthwhile, you are enough and that fearlessness in itself, is beautiful.
