THE GIST: Party-hard-girl Brittany lives a pretty carefree life, even though she barely makes ends meet. A visit to the doctor to score more pills, however, results in a wake-up call: take better care of your body or soon it'll crash down on you. Resistant at first, eventually Brittany makes a life-changing choice.Brittany Runs a Marathon is based on a true story, which adds a layer of interest to this already funny comedy.
Jillian Bell plays Brittany's highs and lows wonderfully well, and her level of commitment is admirable. Michaela Watkins is also of note.
THE BOTTOM LINE: If you're looking for a funny movie that also has some dramatic overtones, then look no further. This one is definitely worth your time.
