Review of Trainwreck (2015) by Bettyspinks — 17 Jul 2015
First of all, what a great New York postcard. I was lucky enough to live there once upon a time (for 5 years); and this is the first New York City romcom in a long time that has actually made me miss Manhattan.
Secondly, pay no heed to the review by douchebag FamilyGuy117 below. This is a great romcom.
Definitely not without it's faults: A handful of clunky jokes. At the 3/4 mark, it drags. A lot of the cameos were underwhelming and the magazine article story was underdeveloped. But man, Amy is a genius and the jokes are often pitch perfect.
This film will be divisive as Amy Schumer, the force, is divisive. Chauvinistic men who think women can't be funny will hate this film when they go with their girlfriends to see it. And they'll definitely hate all male nudity in it.
In FamilyGuy117's review below, he basically calls her a disease-infested whore. Funny, he's probably never had a problem with all the male-centric comedies where the protagonists whore their ways through scenes filled with gratuitous **** and full-frontal female nudity. But now that the tables are turned? Suddenly he "needs a shower" after watching this one! Which makes him a double douche. Douche! Douche!
Seriously though, so many good laughs in this film. Physical comedy. Cerebral comedy. And yes, toilet humor including a (bloody) funny tampon joke. This is Judd Apatow after all, who has given us lots of dude-centric dick, **** and piss jokes over the years.
So what. This film won't be for everyone. Especially not for male chauvinists. But it was for me! Can't wait to see it again.
