Movies That Make Us

Welcome to another episode of Movies that Make Us! We’re continuing ourtheme of growth, change, overcoming obstacles, and movies that make usfeel good with this week’s episode featuring Brittany Runs a Marathon.In this film, Brittany (Jillian Bell) lives in New York City and struggles withher weight and self esteem. She sets out to better herself and eventuallywants to run in the New York Marathon. It’s much more than the typical outof shape funny character that then changes and loses a ton of weight andeverything is perfect. Brittany struggles and there are times where she isnot a good person, but she overcomes the setbacks and struggles tocontinue to grow. It has more language than the typical movies we review,so we want to alert you in case that is something you are cautious of. It’sfunny, it’s heartbreaking, it’s got some real depth and is one heck of a filmdebut for director Paul Downs ColaizzoWhat are your thoughts on the film?
