Her Marathon

Brittany Fogler is a funny, lovable, 27-year-old hot mess of a New Yorker whose seedy nightclub adventures and early-morning walks of shame make her late for work every day. But when she stopped by a doctor's office in an attempt to score her prescription medication, Brittany was handed a series of diagnoses instead: elevated heart rate, elevated blood pressure... the list goes on. Suddenly, Brittany was forced to clench, lace up her Converse sneakers, and run a sweaty block. The next day, she ran twice. Soon she was running a mile. Brittany finally has a direction, but is she on the right path? Award-winning playwright Paul Downs Colaizzo makes his directorial debut with this bright, brisk comedy, with Jillian Bell leading an irresistible cast that infuses Brittany's story with heart and soul. Brittany Runs a Marathon is a film as funny as it is inspiring, about how a woman known for being the life of the party finds real friends and a real life by taking control of herself, one neighborhood at a time.
