Prime Video has a glow-up comedy that's funnier than 'Bridget Jones'

Brittany Runs a Marathon.

Many of us could probably stand to get in better shape. But few of us actually take the initiative to work on things like that, because we're comfortable. What happens when you take a party girl who's in dire need of some health changes and ask her to start training? You get Jillian Bell in the hilarious "Brittany Runs a Marathon".

This 2019 dramedy quickly earned a permanent spot in my rotation when I first stumbled onto it. I always assumed it was a cheesy "glow-up" movie, and I'm almost positive others thought the same since it didn't draw much attention when it debuted. But what it really has is tons of cringeworthy humor and brutal honesty. And it also has Bell's painfully relatable performance as someone who's often her own worst enemy. It's also laugh-out-loud hilarious.
