I feel like I would give the first 45-minutes of this movie a solid A. It was very funny and I think most women would be able to relate to many of the insecure body moments that it was nice to feel like you were watching a movie where the creators obviously understood the pressures and insecurities of women in our world today. A world where social media and YouTube make it feel like you should be able to have your life together and look perfect every moment of the day with ease. The message of this film was clear from the beginning so the obvious trajectory of the movie made the middle feel a little slower. It seemed as if drama and unnecessary conflicts were put in place just to make the final moments more powerful. It trudged along a bit but then had a satisfactory ending. The overall message of “I Feel Pretty” is such an important and timely one. Most women feel this pressure to be and look beautiful but in the end, beauty and confidence has nothing to do with what one looks like or sounds like. True beauty is about being yourself and being kind to people and not letting others opinions or actions make you feel like less of a person.

Grade: First 45 minutes get a solid A –  Last 45 minutes get a B-/C+ – Message of the movie gets an A+
