Rated MA
Score 4.5/6
Having thought that monogamy was never possible, a commitment-phobic career woman may have to face her fears when she meets a good guy.
I’ll admit it, I didn’t like the last movie directed by Judd Apatow that I remember watching which was This is 40. If I remember what I thought of the movie at the time I felt that a lot of the jokes fell flat and I was left wondering why I had invested two hours to watch it. Trainwreck redeemed Judd Apatow in my eyes as a director; this was in part to do with Amy Schumer’s ability as a writer. It should be noted that this was first film by Judd Apatow not to be written by him, only directed.
Schumer’s character was kind of interesting in the sense that with just about any other movie, her character would have been male going through the exact same thing, I thought it was good to see the different point of view. Though what I have seen of Schumer’s comedy in retrospect it might have been a better idea to have waited for this one to be released on DVD considering that I was pretty sure that I was the only single male in the cinema.
Even though he was playing Bill Hader’s best friend LeBron James was in his first role in a feature film, possibly gave the best performance of the entire movie even though he had limited screen time.
