Review of Brittany Runs a Marathon (2019) by Jluis_001 — 15 Nov 2019

I will be honest and admit that I had very low expectations for this film, especially since I have never considered Jillian Bell a funny actress nor deserving of a leading role but here we are.

But it turns out that Brittany Runs to Marathon didn't end up being a disappointment. It wasn't a surprise either but among comedies of this type that are usually plagued with stereotypes and cliches, the script in general felt more honest than I could have expected in the first place although the rhythm problems and especially the ending end up derailing the best elements of the story.

However, I still consider it an option above average and although it has nothing really special, it's not a banal option and stands out enough for trying to be something better.
