Despite having a love/hate relationship with her scoundrel of a father Gordon Townsend, the one thing Amy Townsend has grown up believing from him is that monogamy isn't realistic, he and Amy's mom who broke up due to infidelity when Amy was young. As such, she gets drunk and stoned frequently in her pursuit of indiscriminate sex, with an unstated rule that there is no sleeping over once the sex is over. Her current "boyfriend", Steven, believes they are exclusive, not knowing that she sleeps with other men. Working at sensationalistic magazine S'nuff under head sensationalist Dianna, Amy is in line for a promotion, she certain to get it if her next story meets Dianna's scrutiny. That story is a profile of sports doctor to the stars, Dr. Aaron Conners, it despite Amy knowing nothing about sports. To Amy's amazement, Aaron wants to date her following their first sexual encounter, his sexual history in terms of quantity which is in extreme contrast to her own. Also to her amazement, she kind of wants to date him, the entire ritual of being the one person in another person's life a foreign concept to her. The road to a happy ending for the two is not guaranteed as their very different sexual histories and very different perspectives on sexual life may make them incompatible despite truly liking each other as people. Ensuring that his man Aaron is happy and doesn't get hurt in the process is someone who seems to take Aaron's personal life even more to heart than he does: LeBron James.
Leave your thoughts about Trainwreck.
| The Sun (UK)Grant RollingsIt will be the funniest film you go to see this year. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea ChaseTaking sure aim at the abomination of the formula rom-com, (Schumer) satirizes not just the genre, but the state of contemporary single-hood. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookAbsolutely hilarious, with more truth about the human condition than most dramas. |
| Toronto SunLiz BraunWe have seen the future of romantic comedy and its name is Amy Schumer. Thank the goddess. |
| New York PostSara StewartIt’s very funny and sweet and even a little weepy, and it has maybe the best scene ever filmed of dirty talk gone wrong. In other words, it’s a Schumer/Apatow production — may there be more of them to come. |
| HeyUGuysJon LyusThe film delivers on every level of the emotional scale. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it will make you want to scream. |
| HitfixDrew McWeenyTrainwreck is more than funny. It's also wise, and that hard-won wisdom makes this a can't-miss for anyone who feels bruised by love, but never beaten. |
| The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)Tara ThorneIt's great. As is the closing hip-hop dance number. It's not close to groundbreaking as anything she's done on her show, but Trainwreck adds another dimension to an exciting performer. |
| NerdistDan CaseyTrainwreck's outsized charisma, raw honesty, and adroit direction make you forgive the film for its sins. |
| John Hanlon ReviewsJohn HanlonSmart, funny and unique, this comedy shows off the undeniable strengths of its star, Amy Schumer . |
