Brittany Runs a Marathon

Director
Paul Downs Colaizzo
Certificate

Running Time
104 mins

When hard-partying, out-of-condition twentysomething Brittany Forglar (Jillian Bell) is given a wake-up call by her doctor, she decides to take up running. But before she can enter the New York City Marathon, she has to lose some weight.

Probably not one for the Fat Pride brigade, this debut feature by playwright Paul Downs Colaizzo is based on a true story and walks the line between out-and-out comedy-drama and inspirational uplift.
