Trainwreck ★★★

Director: Judd Apatow

Cast: Amy Schumer, Bill Hader, Brie Larson, John Cena, Tilda Swinton and LeBron James

Amy (Amy Schumer) a successful magazine writer lives an uninhibited life free from stifling, boring romantic commitment, as she was told by her father at an early age that “monogamy isn’t realistic”. Amy seems to like living this lifestyle until she meets Aaron (Bill Hader), the subject of the article she is assigned. Aaron is a successful sports doctor who is charming and nice, but is he the guy that can change the way Amy looks at love?

Trainwreck is watchable and for fans of Amy Schumer is perfect, but if you’re unfamiliar with Amy’s comedy style or find it too brash, this film can be a little too much at times. Bill Hader for me is the redeeming quality in this film.
