Im broke. Im fat. My livers shutting down or something. That line in Brittany Runs a Marathon is tearfully delivered by Jillian Bell, playing the dejected title character after a failed exercise attempt. Its a moment of honesty from a woman who often deflects serious situations with comic quips. Here, Brittany feels as if its an uphill climb to what she sees as a better life. The films writer and director, Paul Downs Colaizzo, took as his inspiration a former roommate of his who was also named Brittany. In an interview at The Times, Colaizzo said that the kitchen-floor conversation between Brittany and her neighbor Catherine (Michaela Watkins) at the center of this scene came from talks that he would have on the kitchen floor with his roommate. I was hoping, he said I might be able to capture the spirit of that real-life moment in ways I couldnt even consciously plan. And if not, he continued, itd be a nice nod to my real-life friend.

I dont think Brittany has all criminals around here committing treason and obstructing justice tho after reaching out for help countless times! We each have our own battles but not being a productive person that only hurts humanity and your own county is unspeakable! Theres nothing in the world thats ever happened like this before and by just helping out a person thats been through enough for ten lifetimes and which nobody no human being could ever survive or go through and not help or answer or go the extra mile for us just unspeakable! If you guys are willing to embrace Armageddon and not help get rid of trumpet then thats your legacy and its an awful reputation to have forever or until the world ends soon enough! In every aspect of life the tell tale signs are here for the end! To sit quiet is unspeakable! Look at the protests and people speaking or yelling to Nancy of all people! Shes amazing and one of the good people - enough is and has been enough! Things really cant get much worse! Why are we waiting or did we wait? Its too often that things only get addressed after the violence or tragedy happens! Why not prevent things before it goes terribly wrong and spirals out of control? Ironic that Charles Koch passed away today! Buddy Im seeing you I always see you but I can only help if someone just helps me! I cant create money or resources! I wish I could! Its all Seth moultons fault that the market crashes today anyway and everything else is Hillarys emails! Donny dumps is a very stable genius! Most definitely and Ivanka the daughter should be the next president shes got fantastic ideas for Russia!

Those scenes where the main character went through the goal transformation are pretty realistic. The first step, the momentum, the slip ups the obsession over the goal, the first selfie, the way people treat you, the temporary selfishness, the close to the finish line weakness, the post goal hardships and the hard reality that the goal wasn't the goal. I'm not a woman so some stuff obviously didn't apply but I liked having seen something that relates to what I just went through. To anyone who actually reads this. Your goals are most likely attainable or you wouldn't have set them and its important to always have long term manageable versions of your initial goals so you aren't lost at the finish line.

I was bulimic for 10 years (Now I've been healthy for the last 20. This film really resonated with me because it shows that it's ok to have ups and downs on your journey to health. It shows you that baby steps are the most effective way to make lasting change. And that once you start making change you build momentum and things get easier! That first block Brittany runs is the hardest: )

I've always been fat, but I started running a few years ago. I watched this movie a couple months before running my first Ultramarathon - I skipped right over the marathon and went straight for the 50k for some reason I cried openly watching this film. It captured the experience of so many runners so well. I'd like to go watch it again, now that I've finished my own race.

I just saw this. It surprised me in a good way by taking something we've kind of seen before and elevating it. Very honest and authentic. Really wonderful. Lots of tears over here.

As a runner, I can so relate! Im running in the Chicago Marathon next month. I saw this film after my 22 miler last week, and it definitely got me in the feels.

Running is so powerful, it saved my life! Many marathon and 50Ks later and training for 50 miler in December! All you have to do is take that first step!

It's not much of a scene anatomy if I can't hear the dialogue that the director is referencing in the first place. Fix ya levels, please.
