Constantly marketing yourself in a sport where your paycheck relies on self promotion, doesn't make you a narcissist.

Somewhat true. But Alexi Pappas IS a narcissist, big time.

Dumbfkk.

I've met her, and her family, and she is not a "narcissist," you, dumbfkk, don't even know the textbook definition of the term.

She's a creative artists -- and -- an athlete.

Pull out of your backside.

I heard this and they played clips from the film. Obviously it was on radio but she sounded flat as an actress. I also got tired just during the short piece of the narcissistic life of a professional runner. No time to do anything else! (like make a movie)

But I get it, its hard for someone who hasn't had a real job to realize how the life of a professional runner has, well, a hell of a lot more free time than most have. Not saying its easy, but most of us don't have easy. So the wah wah is a little hard to stomach.

Hope she does well with it, but it didn't sound like something I'd be interested in.

It's a first effort.

Lot of young talents are uneven in their first efforts.

Was she has accomplished, is momentous.

Also, it's an "indie-film," so a little uneven-ness and indulgence is not out of the norm.

It is so-o hard to accomplish what she and Jeremy have accomplished at such a young age...praise the positives, take the imperfections with a grain of salt.

I hope the film becomes a classic for young runnergirls to be inspired by.

The sport has gone decades without a real movie being made about it...let alone by someone living it...

It is GREAT to see a known runner going after another dream while running too.

I see that she got TMobile CEO John Legere as an executive producer, which actually means he dropped a dime or two. Good for her.

You are going to get lapped in Rio.

AP is the best person to have ever lived, and that includes JC. She is a poet, writer, actor, model, director, jogger, barista, fashionista, modnitsa, hipster doofus extraordinaire, foodie, brewmaster, equestrian, scholar, cinematographer, artist, priestess. Every movie, TV show, magazine, newspaper, book, thought and statement should be about, and only about, AP. Because that is the very least that she deserves for her incredible awesomeness.

Seriously, this narcissistic chick can't act, her poetry is so incredibly bad, she's gonna get lapped and maybe DFL in Rio, she's goofy looking and goofier acting. Despite having had every conceivable opportunity handed to her, she has barely improved her times since she was 14 years old. She wants to inspire the girls of Greece, because, hey, they too can grow up with a silver spoon and achieve a life full of mediocrity.

The dump I took this morning is equally momentous.

My finger-paintings from kindergarten are as artistic and of equal quality to the Pappas film. They deserve a feature gallery showing.

Hey, I live down the street from her!

Pappas is the Paris Hilton of track. Of course, Paris is a much better actor and is way, way hotter and sexier.

Of note:

CU Film Major and 13:37 "blue collar" guy PIERCE MURPHY doesn't know who she is.

Does that remove all validation from the film?

Should be on Netflix any day now since it is a dead fish
