Review of Trainwreck (2015) by Edeltraud — 27 Jul 2015
I guess this is what passes for comedy these days, a bunch of skits thrown together with a minimal story. Half of this crap could have been on Inside Amy Schumer. Just not that clever, No farcical climax or uproarious plot development. Just the usual Twitter-style snarkiness which was wearing thin years ago.
Giving this two stars -- one for a wonderful, unexpected and joyful performance (actual acting!) by Bill Hader. Just great. Also, LeBron was a hoot as the sensitive sidekick, albeit a cheapskate. He gets the other star.
Amy Schumer? Not so much. I like Amy's show just fine but she'd desperately needs acting lessons if she's going to be on the big screen. It was painful to watch her squinty grimace pass for sad, mad, indifferent, sexy, bored. Maybe even happy.Absolute zero depth to her performance, about the depth needed for stand-up.
