Trainwreck (2015)

Is Amy Schumer supposed to be funny? She IS sophomoric, juvenile, vulgar, and crass. Seems Schumer's character, "Amy", was only interested in the number of anonymous guys she could bed and how many times she could say the F word. At times it tried to be a romantic comedy other times it was just about how raw it could be and wandered aimlessly.

Schumer wrote this literal "Trainwreck", which was most appropriately named! My wife told me to quit looking at my watch, but all I could think about was the end of the movie and where I could eat afterwards. Maybe it would have been more palatable if I wasn't so hungry, even a large popcorn couldn't help! Bill Hader was the sole light in this very dark tunnel. LeBron needs some acting lessons, he was really stiff, as well as all of the other sports "cameos". Colin Quinn was OK, but he's never been one of my favorites. Vanessa Bayer played the good stooge, their male counterparts at S'nuff were just filler and added little. Swinton's character was just a cliché.

And John Cena, what the H, he and Schumer's sex scene seemed to just be there for the "R" rating, as if this would save this Trainwreck! I mean, a thing the size of a p-nut because of roids, really, would the slut Amy have put up with that? All around, a huge disappointment and waste of time.

Fmovies: I am completely honest and not exaggerating, this must be the worst film I've ever seen! It is a romantic comedy made of randomly patched clichés and some very cheap humor. There's no plot cohesion, and whatever happens in the movie lacks a development, it's there to be just a filler. The protagonist is a cynical woman who happens to be a very one- dimensional character too. I guess that's all about it. I was sure the movie must have been universally panned. And then I was stunned to realize the film holds a score of 6.8 in IMDb and 85% in Rotten Tomatoes. I didn't know anything about Amy Schumer so I Googled her and I understand now she is a successful stand-up comedian in USA. Could this be the reason why people liked the film? Or am I a hater?

It's stunning how endlessly stupid movies can be. I've never been a big fan of Apatov, his kind of humor never left high school, but then comes this film along, and voila, he lowers the bar even more.

This is a movie that thinks it has some kind of 'feminist' philosophy behind it, alas, all there is are the oldest jokes that never were funny to begin with and a story that doesn't exist. There is no wit, there are no thoughts and for sure there is no intelligence. How in heaven can those people who are involved in this thing become 'names' that supposedly stand for something, whatever that is?

Is it so liberating to watch more or less ugly people who pretend to be 'actors' say stupid stuff about sex? Wow. Sex and the city is an intellectual giant compared to that flick.

Resume: one of the worst sixpack movies for 'womens'. What an insult to mankind.

Trainwreck fmovies. No spoilers here, there's no plot to spoil and not big amazing scenes or reveals to discuss. Suffice to Trainwreck is a huge waste of time and talent. It should not have been such a bad film but it's beyond terrible. The humour is weak and practically every joke misses the mark. Lebron James is the best thing in the movie - he's the only saving grace. Judd Apatow needs to learn how to edit a comedy down to a short, sharp 1hr 30min as well. I shouldn't be sitting in a comedy wondering if I've missed a week of my life because it feels like the movie has gone on forever. I should have learnt my lesson after This is 40! I am sure fans of Amy Schumer will lap it up but if you're not one then steer clear.

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.

And what a trainwreck it is! I have actually watched a few episodes of 'Inside Amy Schumer', laughing a few times and sitting there confused for most times. I understand how hard it is for a stand-up comic to not only star in, but write a comedy that lasts at least 90 minutes. However, with all my understandings I just didn't like this film. Small parts of it were kind of funny, but the rest of it was like a mashup of ideas that were trying hard to come together.

Hader was the only redeeming factor of the film. He acted with intent and knew the role he was playing. All the celebrity cameos (especially from some of the sports stars) seemed strained at the best of times. Amy herself is unrelatable. I don't understand why people are going crazy for her?? Is it because she is a female in a highly male dominated industry? I'm sure she truly is a funny person, but maybe test run these things a bit more before sending them out into the world.
