I didn't have anything against this film, but somehow it was never in my plans to see it in a movie theater. But my friends made me go see it and...
I have to say i liked it quite a lot, i might even loved it a lot if not only for the huge feeling of freshness that critics made me believe it was. This is one of the better rom-coms of all time, but thats the problem.
I was expecting something really original, and different from everything i've ever seen, and the first hour of the film is exactly this. It has laughs to spare, jokes every minute, genius writing, it was awesome. But then the story goes in the wrong direction (then again, to me) and becomes a unrelentlessly 100% rom-com, with all of its clichés, which i love, really love, but not in this movie that showed so much promise and potential to be so unique.
Amy Schumer is a genius, she has perfect writing, i love her humour, like really love, and she's one of the better comedians of all time, and an incredible actress overall. But she chose to became overly sentimental and cliché in the second hour of the film, and i think that the her characters 180º change, goes against her character, and if she chose to continue to be an independent woman, that loves to have sex with whom she wants, to do what she wants, whenever she wants, to continue to be this amazing person that shows that not everyone has to be the same, and have a traditional family with an amazing husband/wife and 2 kids, a white house with a green garden, this would be a much more interesting story and film that would be different from the 300 rom-coms that comes out every year.
She basically shows she has to change everything she is so that the man she loves can be with her, and she basically changes everything about her to get the man she wants because of course she has to have a husband by her side for ever. She begins as one character and ends a totally different one.
The score and OST are amazing, and add a lot to the film. The cast is incredible, and there's a lot to love here. But the films greatest asset is the breathtakingly talented Amy Schumer. What a shame she didn't choose to accept a different path for her character. But this is a really good film any way, and i dare to say an almost perfect one if you want this kind of direction for your story.
