TRAINWRECK Has You Laughing Until it Hurts
Comedy goddess Amy Schumer, writer/star of TRAINWRECK, has talent that shoots 3 pointers at sexist stereotyping & misogynistic attitudes v. women (except Gizelle Bundchen beauties & NY Knicks City Dancers.) Schumer's humor is so on target she slam dunks her witty, commitment phoebic character without error. Schumer is Amy, a writer for an off-beat magazine. She is assigned to a piece on sports dr. to the A-list athletes, Aaron (played by a disarming SNL alum, Bill Hader.) Aaron is struck with Amy. He's coached by Lebron James playing himself & Aaron's bf, how to rally to score a championship relationship. I root root rooted for the two to get back together. Comic Colin Quinn shows strong acting chops as Amy's philandering father & Archie Bunker bigot (loath the racist, sexist comments but still love the man. We're also fans of the strong sister bond between Amy & her sister, played endearingly by Brie Larson. The baby shower scene with dance master/monster Abby Miller is riotously funny. Amy says, "I like her" & so do we in her cameo role. There's a full bench of athletes & actors who add batting power to this hilarious hit. (Fuck A-Rod) Special high 5's to Studemeyer (as himself) & the Knick City Dancers that can use Amy on their squad. This touching, comedy/romance bromance has technical fouls, flags thrown and still prevails as a hilarious, joyride. Amy Schumer towers over all Uptown Girls.
