| Comments | Complex and mature themes of societal pressures to conform, societal norms, insecurities, new found confidence, accepting who you are - just as you are, inclusiveness, exclusion, passion, feeling unworthy, the fashion industry, friendship, motivation, fulfilling your dreams, goals and aspirations, finding one's self, hard work, commitment, work ethic, determination, boldness, beauty, issues of self-esteem, romance, depression, bashing stereotypes and a sense of humour. Themes of romance are paired with self-esteem issues due to physical appearance, body consciousness and may upset, confuse and cause distress to young viewers under the age of 13 years. Somehow the stereotypes of beauty and perfection as portrayed in magazines and perpetuated by the fashion and beauty industry, may cause distress to young viewers who may be dealing with these insecurities, issues of self-confidence and identity. This may cause psychological and emotional harm due to societal pressure. |

| Cape Argus / The Star Helen Herimbi  Amy pokes eye of beholder. | 10 |  |
| 24.com Gabi Zietsman It’s sad to see Schumer follow up such a hilarious and honest movie like Trainwreck with this banal, cringy movie that honestly no one really wanted. Most women would be offended by this, and I don’t see cis men that interested in a movie marketed as ‘women empowerment’. | 5 |  |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy It easily could and probably should have been a sharper satire on the notions of beauty -- from both female and male perspectives -- and the cosmetics industry in general. Somewhat of a missed opportunity, I Feel Pretty isn't horrible, but it could have been so much better, funnier and more insightful than it is. | 8 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer I Feel Pretty has a charming star and the outline of a worthwhile comedy -- but unlike its suddenly confident central character, it suffers from a fundamental lack of conviction. | 7 | |

| CommonSenseMedia Sandie Angulo Chen Fun but uneven comedy has empowering themes; some racy bits. | 10 | |
