Trainwreck Review (no spoilers)

[davidpdx]

I just watched Trainwreck and I have to admit overall the movie was cute. There were parts that were a bit raunchy and some that were even a little goofy, but overall they didn't take too much away from the film. Schumer does an excellent job as a troubled woman who can't seem to get her act together. Bill Hader who plays a sports doctor in my opinion steals the show a bit with his wit and kind smile. LeBron James provides an assist and shows he can step up and deliver in a small, but important role in the film. I won't spoil the ending except to say the last 5 minutes of the movie were well written and delivered and also funny as hell.

1. I loved it.

Amy shows a plausibly vulnerable, yet unexpected side and the multiple cameos were an added bonus.

2. I liked the cameos as well

LeBron James was great. I'm not a basketball fan, but I think the guy might have an acting career waiting for him.

3. Not really spoilers, but...

I caught Daniel Radcliffe, Marisa Tomei, Matthew Broderick, Marv Albert, Chris Evert (all as themselves), Tim Meadows and the black woman on the train whose name I can't place. Also some athletes seemed familiar (though I'm not a sports fan, so not sure.) Tilda Swinton was unexpected and good, but Bill Hader was excellent.

4. Disappointed

Wouldn't want to give away any spoilers, but I had expected more from Amy Schumer - whom I am still a huge fan of. She has so much more wit, more creativity in her than she showcased in this movie.

I did, however, like the fact that the film did not follow the easy scriptwriting mode - the classic middle and end, but it did something unexpected and quirky, I suppose.

Cant wait to see more films of her (my girlfriend and sisters agree!)

5. You might want to try watching her show

Inside Amy Schumer. It is on Comedy Central. Maybe you can watch the old episodes online.
