I believe it was Howard Hawks who said "A good movie is a handful of reasonably funny scenes and like eight garbage improv-y momentum-killing ones, and a bunch of cameos, whatever, I don't know."

Yes, this was very funny, but how hard am I supposed to be capable of laughing during a film featuring Tilda Swinton alongside Ezra Miller? I was having incessant We Need to Talk About Kevin flashbacks.

It's hard for me to get onboard with a comedy when the cameos are more funny than the two leads.

Denial plays a crucial role in Schumer's comedy. Sometimes it’s innocuous, as in a very funny aside in which Amy claims she’s had nothing to eat that day – and then rattles off a seemingly endless list of the unhealthy items she’s consumed before lunch. Yet often her exasperated denials involve more significant things, such as her drinking or her sexual habits. Amy’s worst moments – when she’s caught lying about the men whose names are on her phone, for instance – simultaneously work as opportunities for internal confession. Watch carefully as her comically brazen lies wind down into mumbled concessions. There’s usually a quiet epiphany at the end.

Actually pretty funny in a lot of parts. John Cena and Lebron James kill it.

'Trainwreck' is an enigma to me. It is so, in that it is so outrageously funny when its star is not on screen.

The scenes with LeBron, comedy gold.

The scenes with Bill Hader, awkward and delightful.

The scenes with Brie Larson, heartfelt.

It is so good when it isn't about Amy Schumer, and I just don't get it. But it did make me laugh, more than just about any other comedy has been able to.

Train wreck was good and you all know it

i only watched this bc of bill hader and it was trash but i love bill

Solid Apatow but like much of his work it's about half an hour too long.

n one single movie, Amy Schumer elevates herself from being a sketch-show maven to a bonafide comedy Queen – and this is coming from someone who doesn’t really care for Inside Amy Schumer. Ironically, Trainwreck lets us far deeper into Amy Schumer than her show ever does, and it’s that brutally honest energy that Apatow feeds off of as a filmmaker. There’s nothing better than a mainstream comedy with soul, and that’s what you’ll be getting with Trainwreck

As if you needed further proof of Tilda Swinton's range. I could watch a spin-off revolving around her character. Loved Schumer as well.
