I really enjoy Amy's TV show and was expecting big things from this movie but ended up feeling I'd wasted my time watching it and it's off delivery leave a bad taste in the mouth. Was it that Amy just wasn't up to a feature length film or was it Judd Apatow's direction that made this not work. Where Amy's mischievous bad taste gender stereotype flipping gags work on her show, here they were missing the knowing nod. Amy fitted her self centered character's skin too well and at feature length you started to believe this was a real person and someone you wouldn't want to spend time with, even in a movie. Schummer was too ugly, and I don't mean that in a physical sense. Hader was good, as were most of the actors, apart from the product placement sports stars. It really started to drag in the last 3rd, possibly because it had nowhere to go, which is exactly where it ended up.

Amy Townsend (Amy Schumer) sleeps around taking a page out of her womanizing divorced father Gordon (Colin Quinn). Her younger sister Kim (Brie Larson) is the opposite being married with a stepson. They're moving their father into assisted living. Amy and her gay-adjacent boyfriend Steven (John Cena) break up. Her boss Dianna (Tilda Swinton) assigns her sports surgeon Dr. Aaron Conners (Bill Hader) because she doesn't like sports. She finds that she's falling for Dr. Conners.

Amy Schumer is funny doing her drunken slutty mess character. She's a functional actor otherwise. With some work, she could improve. Director Judd Apatow is able bring out some hilarious scenes and add in a sweet romance. Some have complained about the length of Apatow's movies. Two hours is a little long but the easiest way to cut from this movie is to eliminate John Cena. That would rip my heart out because he's hilarious. In fact, almost every sex scene is full-on hilarity. There are loads of big laughs.

As for the romance, Bill Hader is a super nice guy. His nice guy nature is front and center. His friendship with Lebron is fun. He might be too nice. It's missing one of the basic rom-com tropes. The couple needs to first fight to heat up the relationship. They get together so easily and so quickly that the relationship never seems to be in danger. It's sweet but the drama is not that intense. Amy's chemistry with Brie Larson is even better. Their relationship is deeper and fuller. If JLaw doesn't have the time, Brie should do the sisters movie with Amy that they're writing.

Trainwreck is written by Amy Schumer who also stars as a professional writer (Amy) who is a good time party girl, sleeping around and drinking a lot. Her father told his kids when they were young that monogamy sucks. Amy has a series of one night stands and she literally throws the man out of the bed once they have climaxed.

However once she meets celebrity sports surgeon Aaron (Bill Hader) who she has sent to do a story on and who falls for her, Amy realises that her life was actually in a rut and deep down wants commitment.

I should had sensed trouble when my daughter refused to watch the film on account that she finds Amy Schumer horrible. I was expecting a gross out comedy with slap stick and bad taste.

What I got was some pseudo comedy with third rate Woody Allen undertones, empty characterisation and over-long. I really could not wait for this dismal film to end.

What is worse apart from some celebrity cameos there is also an Oscar winning actress in this movie, Tilda Swinton and centenarian Norman Lloyd who started out with Orson Welles.

In fact you know the film is bad when the funniest person in it is wrestler John Cena.
