Storyline
Since she was a little girl, it's been drilled into Amy's head by her
rascal of a dad that monogamy isn't realistic. Now a magazine writer,
Amy lives by that credo - enjoying what she feels is an uninhibited life
free from stifling, boring romantic commitment - but in actuality,
she's kind of in a rut. When she finds herself starting to fall for the
subject of the new article she's writing, a charming and successful
sports doctor named Aaron Conners, Amy starts to wonder if other
grown-ups, including this guy who really seems to like her, might be on
to something.

Reviews
When
you team up Judd Apatow, one of the best comedy directors working
today, with Amy Schumer, one of the best comedians working today, you've
struck gold. TRAINWRECK subverts the rom-com genre because of its
unlikely protagonist, Amy, a woman who doesn't look perfect and is
totally likable because of that. At the same time, the film's biggest
flaw is how much it adheres to the rom-com formula, but it doesn't
detract from the quality overall. TRAINWRECK essentially is a showcase
of the many talents Schumer has to offer. It's a vehicle for her to tell
the world, hey look, here's someone that you should be paying attention
to. Additionally, it happens to be semi-autobiographical, and while
often hilarious, it's also honest and heartfelt. In one surprisingly
moving monologue, she gets to show a vulnerable side of herself, which
you never get to see on her show.
