HOT CORN TV | Jillian Bell and Paul Downs Colaizzo on charming comedy Brittany Runs a Marathon

Brittany Runs a Marathon is, on the surface, a movie about weight loss – but when you dig deeper it’s a film all about personal gain, overcoming challenges to better ourselves and feel happier (and healthier). It was therefore a real pleasure to sit down with the leading star Jillian Bell, alongside director Paul Downs Colaizzo, as they told us about the inspiration for this movie, and what the real Brittany makes of the whole thing.

Brittany Runs a Marathon is released on November 1st
