I Feel Pretty
No. Not Me. But before I fell asleep in the comfy leather recliner at the cinemaplex today, I can report that the entire theatre (95% female, of a certain age) was with Amy Schumer every step of the way in this one. Hoots, hollers, and consistent laughter all the way through the parts that I saw while I was conscious. And all the previews of coming attractions, from “Book Club” through the sequel to “Mama Mia!” were enthusiastically received by this full-house female audience. Apparently, Hollywood understands quite well how to market to one of its important niche markets.
