Why would a good guy fall for such a selfish narcissist drunk waster? Not even funny. Bore off
Trainwreck was a massive success when released and mainly due to the direction and name plate of Judd Apatow. Amy Schumer's writing as her characters fits in well, but the sell was "a film by Judd Apatow", as well it should be, considering this was Amy Schumer's coming out. Looking back, she had a lot of promise, but now fast forward three years later, she has starred in a series of flops and her career as a leading woman doesn't look well. Trainwreck is quite decent and funny at certain parts. The beginning is quite interesting, the middle is decent and becomes interesting more so then the ending or last part of the film is quite predictable as most romantic comedies. Amy Schumer's character becomes more annoying and crude as the film passes, as it becomes quite less funny. The short supporting roles played by John Cena in the first half is quite good, as well as the more so longer cameo by LeBron James throughout is quite funny. A lot of the film is either hit or miss and has divided fans alike. Trainwreck feels like a film where people either love it for its crude nature, or they hate it for its dirty jokes and such.
One will find themselves leaving the room ... often during this feature film ... Amy Schumer ... is simply not funny ... at all. She confuses a continual stream of expletives with comedy. The 1970s film "They shoot horses don't they" is perhaps the most boring film ever made, "Train Wreck" fills the slot as the second most boring film ever made. Its impossible to spoil the plot, because a plot does not exist. It's simply an assembly of disconnected scenes, of Ms. Schumer streaming expletives. I have no idea the message the director was attempting to get across but, the attempt failed miserably.
"Trainwreck" deals with a middle-aged woman whose life mainly consists of one-night-stands and very superficial relationships with the people close to her. When she is forced to write an article about sports, a field she is anything but firm in, she falls in love with a doctor that turns her life upside down.The film mainly works with easy humor, although I have to say that the producers mastered the art of creating funny moments through different speed. I find it quite worrying that the movie plays a lot with stereotypes and in parts racial humor, because even though they are attached to characters that are considered negative, they are meant to create laughter and thus get confirmed. The plot itself is a very basic story of a romantic comedy, two very different lovers who rush into each other's life and form a deep relationship. This is spiced up by a lot of celebrities guest-starring that differentiates it from similar films of the genre.All in all this is a basic romantic comedy, with questionable but clever humor and a set of well-known actors and celebrities. Not for everyone surely and with some difficult jokes but surely carefully produced.
