Take a leisurely walking tour through Central Park, NYC’s most famous backdrop.
Renee Bennett (Amy Schumer) is a young woman who struggles with low self-confidence and insecurity and it all gets worse when one day, she declines working as a receptionist because of her appearance.
Inspired by the movie Big, she wishes at a fountain to be beautiful, but nothing happens, except for the next day when she accidentally falls off her bike at SoulCycle, hits her head (hard), and loses consciousness. When she wakes up, something about her is different – her confidence.
Thanks to the accident, her self-image and confidence amazingly increase and she feels better than ever before, even though she looks exactly the same. She finds herself as the most beautiful woman on earth and everything that once would hold her back is now seamlessly easy.
The movie takes place in New York but most of the scenes are actually filmed in Boston and not in the Big Apple. Only a local would be able to tell the difference between the cities in the movie. However you can still spot some of the sites on the NYC TV & Movie Tour.
Fun fact: Amy Schumer was nominated at the MTV Movie + TV Awards for Best Comedic Performance and at the Teen Choice Awards for Choice Movie Actress: Comedy.
