The Big Sick just came out last year, but already we feel like we've fallen back into a romantic comedy drought [1]. Fortunately, Amy Schumer is here with a new movie that should quench our thirst: I Feel Pretty. The comedian stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday to debut a brief teaser [2] for the movie, whose tagline posits "What if you could change everything, without changing anything?" Now we have the full trailer!
As you can see above, I Feel Pretty follows an "ordinary" woman (Schumer) struggling with low self-esteem who suffers a nasty head injury at SoulCycle and wakes up with a renewed sense of confidence. Like, extreme confidence. The type of confidence that lets you wear miniskirts with reckless abandon and tell Naomi Campbell [3] that you're too pretty to model. Confidence with a capital "C."
Is it a silly premise? Yes. Women shouldn't have to suffer a near-fatal falls to feel good about themselves (which is clearly the point the movie is trying to make). But at its core, it looks like I Feel Pretty will at least be entertaining and has a pretty interesting cast in addition to leading lady Schumer: Michelle Williams [4], Rory Scovel, Emily Ratajkowski, Aidy Bryant, Busy Philipps, Tom Hopper, and Lauren Hutton (and Campbell, bless!). I Feel Pretty hits theaters on April 27.
