I'm not so proud to say that I belong to the "Tinder" generation. We tend to cater to the id, cutting right to the chase. It's between the sheets first, and maybe love after. I saw this film in college, where I would bank on the hook up culture thriving the most. Do you think this kind of accidental love story resonated with anyone? Will it make you think twice about being loose? Highly doubtful. For the most part, we were too busy laughing to care. Trainwreck in on track to becoming one of the most interesting, talked-about films of the year. I hope I'm not wrong. This is a new, bold, intelligent comedy from Amy Schumer. Regardless of how the rest of America will feel, she isn't going anywhere. Trainwreck manages to be a unisex comedy, that is more guy- centric than Bridesmaids... and Bridesmaids had some classic guy humor. Amy Schumer is really something to behold. She is as nasty and brutal as her "Comedy Cellar" friends, but then, she's adorable, and vulnerable. This is unique, and something we haven't seen before. This isn't just her show, however. Trainwreck features the most unexpectedly funny cast in any movie I can think of. What sticks out in my mind is John Cena and LeBron James. Two sports legends, and wouldn't you believe it, they have terrific comedic timing. Hollywood should take note, and cast people in comedies that have never done anything funny. I also have to single out praise for Colin Quinn. A great comedian, seen rarely on screen these days, and his performance is stellar. As for Judd Apatow, he's still so incredibly gifted with directing new talent, and surprisingly restraint from placing his wife Leslie Mann and his two daughters in cameo roles.. not that I don't think they're talented. This is a sweet movie. Spread it's praise.
