	Author	Review
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"The film veers between inspired and strained and finally settles into the realm of self-improvement pop psychology."	NEU
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"This well-meaning, female-targeted romantic comedy aspires to make everyone feel beautiful. Even so, its technique for doing so is to put its self-esteem-impaired heroine through a series of mortifying social situations."	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"An open-hearted and occasionally funny story of self-confidence. (...) Schumer’s latest comedy could have used a few more polishes."	NEU
United States	Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club	"Having exhausted the cringe-comedy potential of the premise within a few scenes, they lay into the subplots. (...) The raunch is all but gone, and with it, any semblance of social observation."	NEG
United States	Keith Uhlich Slant	"With scene after scene playing on the ostensibly hilarious disconnect between Renee's average looks and her boundless self-assurance, [it] stretches its one-joke premise to the breaking point (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Abbey Bender Time Out	"During its almost-two-hour runtime, [it] doesn’t once achieve the smart and sassy potency of Amy Schumer’s standup routine. (...) Truth be told, for a wide-release comedy, it’s a bit depressing. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Is it really OK to get off making plus-size jokes just because you tack on a moralizing ending that teaches a lesson about body positivity? Can you have it both ways? (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"'I Feel Pretty' suffers from a fatal flaw: its premise. (...) Body shaming is no longer cool or funny."	NEG
United Kingdom	Ian Freer Empire	"Intermittently funny (...) [It] never really gets to grips with the ramifications of its high concept. Its heart is in the right place, but its head is somewhere else. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"While there’s clear comic potential in the setup, especially with Schumer’s bravado and willingness to indulge in physical comedy, the film never quite mines the laughter that it should. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
