Brittany Runs a Marathon Ratings & Reviews

I really connected to this film. This pretty much a home run for me! Great performances, funny, and heartfelt.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
The highest mountain Brittany has to climb is getting over herself, a struggle Bell makes poignantly, piercingly real in her performance and that takes the film into its darkest yet most relatable moments.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
Like the course of the New York City Marathon, this story takes some sharp twists and turns. And like the runners, viewers are going to have to strive to keep up.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
[W]hat should be an old-school audience pleaser winds up being a much more complicated film that is often at odds with itself.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Yes, Brittany can be the worst. But when she's at her best, she's kinda great.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
By the end, I was laughing and in tears, fully invested in Brittany's journey-as both a runner and a person.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Seeing how Brittany opens up as she learns to judge other people and herself less harshly is what makes this movie one of the summer's sweetest surprises.
Austin Chronicle
Matthew Monagle
For fans of romantic comedies, one of the biggest pleasures of [Brittany Runs a Marathon] is seeing how a contemporary filmmaker works within the confines of the genre without sacrificing an ounce of body positivity.
Pajiba
Roxana Hadadi
With a pitch-perfect performance from Jillian Bell, Brittany Runs a Marathon is consistently honest in its conversations about weight, wellness, and self-worth.
Chicago Reader
Leah Pickett
I too admire Colaizzo's effort, but in the end found myself ruminating on why I was expected to cheer at the finish line.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
Its first moments, with Brittany working as an usher at an off-Broadway theater are its funniest. But it grows increasingly earnest. That's part of the movie's charm but also what leads it a little off track.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
Brittany is funny and authentic, but she can also be prickly and stubborn, even hard to like. You know, the way real people are.
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
In much of the same way seasoned runners make a marathon look easy, Bell makes leading this comedy look effortless.
NPR
Linda Holmes
Brittany Runs a Marathon is reaching for a freshness it doesn't really have and for an interest in unexplored lead characters it doesn't quite demonstrate. But if you don't expect too much, you likely won't leave disappointed.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Brittany Runs a Marathon is perfunctory, idealized, sometimes awkwardly composed, almost always predictable. But it stays the course, with admirable grit and more than a few entertaining grins.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
A soaring testament to the human spirit, the film is an entertaining cathartic joy that never shies away from the darker emotional complications that can arise when a person sets out try and better themselves and live a healthier life.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Like its heroine, "Brittany Runs a Marathon" works its way up from the easy comic 2Ks to a more nuanced drama of self-confidence that's able to go the distance.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
On balance, I admire the hell out of Collaizo for choosing to tell a more emotionally convoluted story, even if it sometimes kills the momentum.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The movie succeeds because Bell succeeds. It's gratifying to see a so-called character actress with reliably deadly comic timing loosen up, stretch out and learn what it means to carry a movie.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
"Brittany" not only goes places you won't be expecting but it also manages to be simultaneously sympathetic and unsentimental, a picture with a laugh-out-loud sense of humor that can be as real as hell when it needs to be.
