Trailer: Brittany Runs a Marathon

This kind of reminded me of the British movie ‘Run Fatboy Run.’ It also strikes me as the kind of movie Amy Schumer was probably shooting for when she made ‘I Feel Pretty.’ That came out a little mean and to be honest, I meant what I said. This looks like it might inspire a little more than it mocks, and wouldn’t that be nice for a change? Look for ‘Brittany Runs a Marathon’ in theaters on August 23.

Hilarious, outgoing and always up for a good time, New Yorker Brittany Forgler is everybody's best friend ― except maybe her own. At 27, her hard-partying ways, chronic underemployment and toxic relationships are catching up with her, but when she stops by a new doctor's office to try to score some Adderall, she gets slapped with a prescription she never wanted: Get healthy.
