This week on Saturday Night Jive it's our end of the year spectacular. We're highlighting one of the worst of 2018, I Feel Pretty starring Amy Schumer and featuring two SNL alums in Aidy Bryant and Shasheer Zamata. This movie is incredibly nonsensical as Amy gets a head injury and wakes up thinking she looks like a supermodel. Luckily for her, nobody questions her alternate reality or treats her any different at all. The trailer for this film sparked some controversy as people felt the film (that they hadn't seen yet) was promoting fat shaming but the problem with the film is that it doesn't. Certain jokes rely on Amy Schumer being fat and gross (which, for the record, she isn't) but most of the jokes are about how oblivious she is. The movie is constantly fighting against itself regarding its own political correctness. Also there's a subplot that hinges on a dating website designed for groups of 3. Enjoy!
