Writing, directing, and producing his first feature film, Paul Downs Colaizzo does some stellar work here. The character is what makes this story good, but her performance is what ended up making the final film as good as it is.
I think she is a much better dramatic actress than a comedic one, although she does have her moments. She has some real, raw talent and I actually look forward to seeing what she does next.

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this movie and Jillian Bell had a lot to do with that, surprisingly.īeing the secondary character to many stars throughout the course of her career and the comedic relief in films like 22 Jump Street or Rough Night, it's roles like that, that had me disliking her as a performer, but now I see that was just the roles being given to her. It's really about not letting others get you down and taking it upon yourself to better yourself. Although she isn't always the most likeable character, that's the whole point of the movie in the end. With the addition of new friends and other positive influencers entering her life, this positive story is one worth watching. Unhappy with her weight, diet, and overall daily routines, Brittany (Jillian Bell) decides to motivate herself to take baby steps, with an eventual goal of running a marathon. Now streaming on Amazon Prime, I've finally had the chance to check it out.
Brittany Runs a Marathon looked like a movie that followed a very familiar formula, but I was still very much interested. It's an embarrassment of riches in terms of how many movies and shows are available for audiences to watch, so it's hard to see everything. There's so much content out there that the same story is probably told twice in the same year, if not more. People complain about there being too many films based on comic books these days, and while I admit there are a lot, I would argue that there is an overabundance of every genre nowadays. The formula of someone overcoming the odds and willing themselves into success has been done over and over again throughout the history of cinema.
