More than a few times on this blog, I’ve highlighted films
that are rather fundamentally bad in places, but that I’m willing to still
champion because of the message behind it. Maybe it’s because I can get quite
sentimental in what I discuss on here, or maybe it’s just because I like trying
to find good things wherever I can, but that is the path that certain reviews
go down. However, there are times when I look back on those reviews,
specifically I Feel Pretty in this instance, and wonder if I was way too forgiving of faults for the sake
of intent. Mainly because, having sat through this film, I know that that same
idea can be used to make a far more
entertaining film.
