Meh, when I saw that it has good mark (75 is pretty high) I thought that it's worth to watch. Damn it, I was so wrong.
The review must be 150 characters long, that's why I wrote this line.

I don't know but I expected something more out of this, maybe it was good as a romantic movie, but as a comedy, it wasn't that funny, aside for some episodes with Lebron or something like that, which wasn't that important to the main plot.I don't know but I expected something more out of this, maybe it was good as a romantic movie, but as a comedy, it wasn't that funny, aside for some episodes with Lebron or something like that, which wasn't that important to the main plot. Main plot itself actually was quite predictable, I mean like from the start, if you have seen the trailer or read anything about the movie, you know what will happen, that's why I didn't like the movie itself that much, I mean, at least make more funny jokes and make it funnier - it was an ok movie in my opinion. Amy Schumer's acting was better than I expected though, but still, not impressed.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's amazing how stupid the plot of this movie is.
A lost girl who behaves like a jerk (the why being explained by the funniest scene of the movie with the father) falls miraculously in love with a doctor who is :
- rich
- nice
- patient
- single
- knows celebrities
- has big male parts
- fit and handsome.

And she decides to hold on to him.
Yeah ok.

Did the writers realise how much what they wrote is a big joke ? Did the producers ? Did the actors ?
As for the rest it is uptight boring Apatow movie for uptight boring people who live in their New York bubble and affiliated.… Expand

Amu Schumer is NOT a leading lady and it has nothing to do with her looks, which is what feminists will claim. She is, quite frankly, obnoxious. Surprisingly she isn't a bad actress but too often her true personality comes through and, as a protagonist, it destroys much of the film. I think she would be better suited for the obnoxious friend of the main girl. Bill Hader does a solid job but is mostly forgettable. Honestly, the only reason this film is worth watching is for the plethora of celebrity cameos, highlighted by LeBron James. They all play versions of themselves in hilarious skits that fit neatly into the plot. If it wasn't for James, John Cena, Amare Stoudemire, etc. this film would be among the worst comedies I've seen in recent memory.… Expand

I am a fan of Amy Schumer and enjoy both her stand up and her TV show. I had seen generally positive reviews of the movie and my girlfriend and I were both excited to watch it. It seemed like a perfect movie that could have a balance of both comedy and romance.

The movie follows Amy whose main claim to fame in the movie is that she is a slut. She meets Bill Hader's character, and decides being a slut isn't all that it is cracked up to be. The general plot and final outcome (spoiler they find love!) was never in doubt. I was just hoping that going from points A to B in the movie would be entertaining. It was not. There are points of humor in the film, but that are few and far between. Most of the film is just plodding and drags out. There is a cheer leading scene at the end that makes absolutely no sense and just drags on. There is nothing novel or interesting about the movie.… Expand

I never saw the trailer, but I thought it was Rebel Wilson's film, that's who I saw on the poster and decided to go for it. In the movie she never came, then realised I was tricked or I failed to pay attention while choosing the film. So then, who the heck was this actress. Never seen or heard before, Not so romantic or funny, totally boring. I thought She might be Will Ferrell's sister. I'm kind of frustrated because of either the movie or the actors were not excited to keep going with my watch.

This is the same old story, but instead it's a woman's version. A playgirl loses the someone who loves her sincerely for what she's and later finds the one true love of her life, but it ends in a disaster due to her past. So how everything is going to be fixed is what brings curtain to the narration.

It might be a well known plot, but a well crafted movie as well by one of the best comedy filmmaker who has given many awesome ones. Despite his effort to make it big it is also his bottom of the list from his filmography. Well, not all the actors were so bad, John Cena was so funny with his gay jokes, but lot like in a guest appearance. The basketball superstar that I don't know him. Definitely better than average only if a quality movie like this would have had a proper lead actress. I think some people would find it hilarious, but not to me and I wanted to like it, but I couldn't.

Half of Amy Schumer's jokes just weren't funny, and it sucks because it had such great potential. On top of that, every character felt flat. Part of this comes from the fact that Amy Schumer plays a character named....Amy. It's hard to feel for such 1-dimensional characters and that hurts when you have such a great cast.… Expand

The comedy is very hit-and-miss, the story wasn't too interesting as a whole and none of these characters are really that likeable or relatable, especially Amy. A few good moments but on the whole, pretty mediocre at best for me

Maybe because white trash drunks are boring in real life, I found Amy Schumer's character more sad and boring than funny or interesting to watch. Bill Hader's comedic talents are not present in this movie, and his "doctor" character goes rapidly from his own boredom with Amy's character to being suddenly and inexplicably ( within minutes) ready to go out for dinner and a drink with her. There's no believable transition into this romance. Poor, sad Amy just didn't have a sports doctor to show her how great life really is? Unh-hunh. okay. We didn't make it through the whole thing....fell asleep as soon as Bill and Amy went out for their first drink.… Expand

The perfect complement to director Judd Apatow who litters his tales with dirty words and sex but is actually as innocuous as a Kate Hudson rom-com from the last decade. In fact, I would argue that BRIDE WARS has a more cutting and daring message to deliver than TRAINWRECK or any of Schumer's or Apatow's work. Pile on to that, TRAINWRECK is simply too long, lethargic, and just not very funny. And perhaps worse than anything, poor Brie Larson, who is quite the actress, is here relegated to playing the sister/homemaker with no bite or attitude. TRAINWRECK just made me feel sad in an unintentional bad way. Perhaps we will soon get the truly daring female comedian we really need. Otherwise, I'll stick to ROSANNE re-runs.… Expand

Giving this two stars -- one for a wonderful, unexpected and joyful performance (actual acting!) by Bill Hader. Just great. Also, LeBron was a hoot as the sensitive sidekick, albeit a cheapskate. He gets the other star.
Amy Schumer? Not so much. I like Amy's show just fine but she'd desperately needs acting lessons if she's going to be on the big screen.

“Trainwreck” centers on Amy Schumer’s character, also called Amy, who was taught by her father (Colin Quin) that monogamy is not realistic or normal and we next meet her 23 later when she is the male version of most leads in romantic“Trainwreck” centers on Amy Schumer’s character, also called Amy, who was taught by her father (Colin Quin) that monogamy is not realistic or normal and we next meet her 23 later when she is the male version of most leads in romantic comedies such as Jim Carey, Will Farrell and that ilk. She is rude, crude, very promiscuous and doesn’t believe in spending a whole night with any of her tricks. (I did/do identify with the latter!)

Schumer also wrote the script which is basically ‘boy (Bill Hader as Aaron Conners) meets girl Hollywood cute, boy loses girl so the boy gets girl ending can happen. Whether it is due to Schumer, or the director Judd Apatow, there is a lot of male nudity, mainly full backsides, with one exceptional funny almost frontal nudity, and very little female nudity though Amy is shown in many sex scenes--almost always wearing a bra if not fully clothed.

Billed as a comedy I will say the audience, consisting of equal men and women, were laughing through most of it. I smiled here and there but didn’t have a really good laugh until 1 hour and 55 minutes into the 2 hour and 2 minute movie. I was also touched in 2 scenes and shook my head in a couple of scenes that seemed to be from another movie.

This is the first time I have really seen Amy Schumer and I enjoyed her performance but wondered if in real life she only wears too short skirts! I admired Bill Hader in last year’s “The Skeleton Twins” and he has a lot of chemistry with Schumer. Watching her first serious relationship, and the problems she has with it, makes for a different romantic comedy as does the leads not being pretty picture actors.

Due to Hader’s profession in the movie, as a sports medicine doctor/surgeon, there are a lot of cameos by sports names plus, as usual, in any Apatow movies there are cameos by names who don’t get billing until the end credits. Of the sports figures in the movie LeBron James has more than a cameo role playing himself as a skinflint cheap, and concerned friend of the doctor, being naturally funny and has a one on one basketball scene with Hader that cracked the audience up! Also in the film is Brie Larson as Schumer’s sister who is the complete opposite in her relationship of Amy with her husband, Mike Birbiglia. John Cena’s as Amy’s dumb, muscle bound, everything he says comes out with gay connotations, current friend with benefits and Tilda Swinton as her very strange boss are welcome additions as are Randall Park and Vanessa Bayer as co-workers. Norman Llyod, a 100 year old actor who has been working since 1932, adds some humor as a resident of the old folk’s home where Amy’s father is living.

Now, in the genre of “Bridesmaids” and “Spy”, “Trainwreck” furthers the reality that women can get as low as men. Is that a good thing?… Expand

This move is really boring. Not funny at all, there is no storyline or chemistry between actors. Amy is not funny at all, the best thing in the movie could be LeBron.

"Trainwreck" stars Amy Schumer in this comedy drama about a single lady acting more like a single man in today’s dating game with able assists from Bill Hader, Brie Larson and John Cena. Written by Ms. Schumer and directed by Judd Apatow,"Trainwreck" stars Amy Schumer in this comedy drama about a single lady acting more like a single man in today’s dating game with able assists from Bill Hader, Brie Larson and John Cena. Written by Ms. Schumer and directed by Judd Apatow, this film amply displays the acting talents of Ms Schumer as well as her extraordinary writing talents. Deeply moving in the relations Ms. Schumer’s character has with her sister and divorced father, the film is able to generate great pathos and sentiment while at the same time causing us to laugh and appreciate each moment. LeBron James, playing himself, has a significant role in the move and together with other notable NBA figures, gives a degree of authenticity and honesty to the story. Most of all it is Ms. Shcumer’s film for she proves once again that the transition from comedy to drama is easier to achieve for a comic than it is for a dramatic star to do comedy.. This is a thoroughly enjoyable film to watch and to experience great writing as well. I give the film 3 and ½ stars and recommend it to audiences and viewers of all ages.… Expand

Occasionally you hear someone say that having a likable protagonist is not important. They're wrong (and I suspect they are jerks who secretly identify with jerk protagonists). We care about the people we like. If we don't like the protagonist, then we don't much care what happens to her in the movie, which basically means we don't care much about the movie. That was pretty much the case here.… Expand

Of course there is a great difference between writing a 5 minute (or 22 minute) sketch and a full length feature, and perhaps under Judd Apatow's (never met a 90 minute film that can't be padded to over 2-2 1/2 hours) direction and guidance, she didn't tighten the script firmer. There are many, many laughs to be sure. And the supporting cast is crammed with talent. All the talk is about Lebron James, but what about John Cena (hilarious), Colin Quinn, Vanessa Bayer, Randall Park, Jon Glaser, Mike Birbiglia, hell, Tim Meadows absolutely kills in the small cameo he appears in...Although the main character is an mess, the movie follows the standard rom-com formula. Couple meet, fall in like, conflict pulls them apart, they get together after one of them realizes that they DO love them..Some scenes could have been trimmed and one, the intervention with Chris Evert, Mathew Broderick and Marv Albert (YES!!) could have been cut completely. I will admit whatever faults Apatow has as a director, he does let his cast shine from top to bottom.… Expand

It also doesn't help that I'm generally not a fan of rom-coms. Believe it or not, I was actually pleasantly surprised with this one. Not only did Schumer manage to not annoy the crap out of me (for most of it at least), but it also had a lot of really funny moments, great one-liners, and some fun cameos (John Cena, LeBron James, Method Man, even Daniel Radcliffe and Marisa Tomei!) In addition, it also had a surprising amount of heart to it, which I certainly wasn't expecting. Overall, depending on your tolerance for rom-coms in general, you may or may not enjoy it. On the other hand, if you can get past that and you happen to be a fan of Apatow and his previous films, I'd say it's definitely worth a view.… Expand

My heart goes out to those who died and got injured at the Trainwreck screening shooting in Louisiana cinema.

The story is about a woman raised to believe monogamy isn't realistic finds her uninhibited lifestyle starting to wear thin. WhenMy heart goes out to those who died and got injured at the Trainwreck screening shooting in Louisiana cinema.

The story is about a woman raised to believe monogamy isn't realistic finds her uninhibited lifestyle starting to wear thin. When her magazine job leads her to interview a charming sports doctor, she finds herself falling for him - and maybe finding romance is just what she needs in her life.

Okay I'm just going to say it, I never was a fan of Amy Schumer. I was never a fan of her work and to be honest I'm not such a big fan of her. I don't know what it is but these just something about her that I just can't put my finger on it. I only say I'm not a fan of her because I don't hate her as a person, because right now as I speak shes taking action on gun control because of the Louisiana cinema shooting that was showing Trainwreck. I'm happy that shes calling out this big issue that's still around and how this gun control problem needs to solved. A simple gun can land into the wrong hands. But all that aside I thought the movie Trainwreck wasn't all that great of a movie.

The movie wasn't written that well, I mean the jokes in the movie got old after awhile. Some people say that the movie was well written but I must disagree. Amy Schumer did okay in the movie but these a couple of scenes in the movie that she didn't do such a great job, for example when shes at a funeral and she starts crying and the tears didn't look even remotely look like it was brought on by emotions the character was experiencing, it just looked like an actress trying to force whatever emotion to force out.

While watching the movie I kept saying to myself "Is this real humor?" because the audience that I was with only chuckled a couple of times. There are a few gay jokes in the movie and that's mostly with John Cena who would say something and then somehow accidentally imply that he wants to have sex with another man and this joke happens too many times in the movie. That's pretty much the joke, now some many think I got offended by the joke but that's really not the case, I can laugh at many jokes that might be offence to some people who take it too seriously. The problem here is that there was no joke, gay was the joke. These many gay jokes out there that are funny if there's a joke behind it but not on it's own.

Tilda Swinton was the only one to give a good performance in this movie. She did the best of what she had to work with by poor directing and the terrible script.

The movie is called Trainwreck which is Amy Schumer character, which the movie keeps referencing about her alcohol and marijuana use but we only see her intoxicated in a couple of moments in the movie but after awhile the movie just tells you about it without Amy Schumer acting like it.

Bill Hader was good in the movie but he didn't do anything special.

Overall Trainwreck wasn't all that good to me. A lot of people may easily disagree with me on this one but this is just my honest thoughts on this movie. If you enjoyed the movie good for you.… Expand

" With all the hype it feels politically incorrect to say Caitlyn wins as Trainwreck jumps the tracks after 20 minutes. Daddy issues leads Amy into a life of drugs and promiscuity - while her jokes act as a buffer to her pain. But it never seems real - and the chemistry between Haden and her is nil. Schumer fans shriek with glee while others in my camp wait and wait and wait for her to sober up. It’s feels like a 0-0 game forced into overtime. Swinton constantly amazes. Lebron holds his own. And Schumer was incredibly funny on all the talk shows promoting her pic. Spoiler Alert: I despise when extras break out in applause as love wins out.… Expand

The combination of Apatow, Schumer, and the rest of them are a waste of time and money. Apatow is a cliche of himself at this point and Schumer just wrote a movie as a vehicle for her raunchy comedy; which has about 2 min left of her 15. One day we'll look back at these movie making charlatans for what they are: zeitgeist deluded has-beens who tricked us all into thinking they were actually funny and not just show-biz lottery winners.

When Amy Schumer is doing her whole "lol I have sex and have a vagina" act, it is not funny at all. In fact, it is almost painful.

In that regard, the entire relationship with Bill Hader's character is fantastic and feels real and authentic. Their problems and approaches are really relatable for most people and the film handles it very well. While I love the emotional aspect of the film, the comedic aspect really peaks with John Cena and LeBron James. Every scene those two are involved in is hysterical and a real riot. I do not like Amy Schumer's comedy and I was ready to hate this one, but this film has a real charm that sweeps you in and it avoids turning into just another raunchy sex comedy. Instead, it is a smart sex comedy that has some interesting commentary on relationships and sex. Amy Schumer is pretty good here, though I loved Tilda Swinton and Brie Larson the most here.

From the director who gave us ‘The 40 Year Old Virgin’ and 'Knocked Up’; director Judd Apatow is back with a somewhat laughable, but messy comedy. When it comes to the humor is it always hard to get everyone entertained, and this 'wreckish’ movie is no exception. I laughed out at several occasions, but I had no interest in the plot what so ever, it just dragged on. This is my own personal opinion, and some of you will of course love the movie. This is because of several aspects. One is without any doubt the characters, which are relatable, lovable and well presented. The acting is just as phenomenal. The directing is very well done, and even though it got its flaws did I still enjoy it much more than I thought I would. Team Schumer-Hader (Amy Schumer & Bill Hader) did an amazing job, but as I previously mentioned is the story so messy and non-entertaining and it’s sad that such great characters can’t exist in a great world. The whole movie therefor felt non-rememberable. The humor is still great from time to time, but it’s also somewhat predictable, even though the whole movie is much less 'clichéish’ than what I expected to see.

Is it still worth it? Perhaps! 'Trainwreck’ (except the humor and the plot) is really good, but from a personal viewpoint did I still find it a bit boring, but it might work for you!

I don’t feel like it is a bad movie I just feel like its more of a girl comedy film than a film for a male audience. Amy Schumer’s audience is women and I think she was more attentive to her audience when writing the film. I also found her character a little unoriginal, although Schumer may be in some ways going into a area where many women have not gone it is still very similar to other actors. I found there were several points in the film where I felt like I was watching a female Seth Rogen. There is really nothing wrong with Schumer’s performance I just didn’t understand the huge critical acclaim. Bill Hader is great in the movie and he was very likeable and it is nice to see him gain more attention as he has been a background player for so long.

The other complaint I have with this movie is that I really didn’t find the leads as funny as the supporting cast. Schumer had her moments but Bill Hader was not that funny at all and normally he’s hilarious. Lebron James is really funny in this film and John Cena might have been the funniest guy in the film despite not sticking around for long. There is also a little two much of a sports side to this movie, it almost seems like Apatow is trying to re-create Jerry Maguire and I think there are points that take away from the main plot and there were just too many sports related cameos.

I feel like I have hated a little two hard on the film but it really was not bad, I just think it wasn’t for me. There are going to be lots of people who find this movie hilarious and plenty of people have already it just does not compare to some of Judd Apatow’s classic comedies… Expand

Bill Hader and almost all the other actors in this film do a fantastic job and left me laughing long after some scenes ended. John Cena and LeBron James also make some great appearances in this show. Trainwreck is a bit different then previous Judd Apatow movies like: Knocked Up or 40 Year Old Virgin, But still keeps a similar style. Trainwreck is a good time for you and some friends to get together and laugh your asses off, Bill Hader and Amy have fantastic chemistry and the whole movie came together quite well.It does feel a bit slow and romantic at times but it keeps a good balance.… Expand

Director/producer Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up) brings his brash and irreverent comic sensibilities to the traditional romantic comedy through the female perspective of writer and star Amy Schumer, America’s currentDirector/producer Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up) brings his brash and irreverent comic sensibilities to the traditional romantic comedy through the female perspective of writer and star Amy Schumer, America’s current black-sheep darling who proves that the girls can get just as lewd and outrageous as the boys.

‘Trainwreck’ is the brainchild of current superstar comedienne and US media darling Amy Schumer, who brings her brutally honest comic sensibilities and semi-autobiographical experiences to what is essentially a traditional romantic comedy, featuring a girl with commitment issues and traumatic life experiences who gets a chance at real love only to ruin it before ultimate redemption.

This film is to some extent a social satire that takes pop-shots at relationship dramas and our vacuous celebrity-obsessed society, only to then undermine itself by relying heavily on often cringeworthy celebrity cameos, but Schumer is the star of the show here with her comedic stylings just about shining through and with a surprisingly convincing dramatic performance in the few moments where pathos tempers the comedy.

Despite several legitimately hilarious moments and the rarity of having a feminine perspective on the lewd outrageous adult comedy, ‘Trainwreck’ is still your run-of-the-mill Rom-Com with a traditional and predictable 3-act structure, essentially; quirky girl set in her ways meets good guy who turns her world upside down, she can’t handle it and her love and life falls apart, only for her to see the light achieve redemption where everything turns out great.

The Bottom Line…
Director Judd Apatow manages to transfer some of Amy Schumer’s TV & stand-up comedic talents to the big screen in an often side-splitting irreverent comedy from a rare female perspective, but ultimately ‘Trainwreck’ it too familiar to stand out in the comedy movie crowd and loses too much steam to be memorable on its way to a predictable and unsatisfying conclusion.… Expand

Secondly, pay no heed to the review by douchebag FamilyGuy117 below. This is a great romcom.

Definitely not without it's faults: A handful of clunky jokes. At the 3/4 mark, it drags. A lot of the cameos were underwhelming and the magazine article story was underdeveloped. But man, Amy is a genius and the jokes are often pitch perfect.

This film will be divisive as Amy Schumer, the force, is divisive. Chauvinistic men who think women can't be funny will hate this film when they go with their girlfriends to see it. And they'll definitely hate all male nudity in it.

In FamilyGuy117's review below, he basically calls her a disease-infested whore. Funny, he's probably never had a problem with all the male-centric comedies where the protagonists whore their ways through scenes filled with gratuitous **** and full-frontal female nudity. But now that the tables are turned? Suddenly he "needs a shower" after watching this one! Which makes him a double douche. Douche! Douche!

Seriously though, so many good laughs in this film. Physical comedy. Cerebral comedy. And yes, toilet humor including a (bloody) funny tampon joke. This is Judd Apatow after all, who has given us lots of dude-centric dick, **** and piss jokes over the years.

So what. This film won't be for everyone. Especially not for male chauvinists. But it was for me! Can't wait to see it again.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sometimes comedy gets a bad rap, and I think Amy Schumer's Trainwreck almost proved a point. Comedy can be sharp and funny while still being smart. There doesn't always need to be guns and clowns to get someone to laugh. My theater was roaring from laughter – more than any slapstick comedy I can remember.

This movie actually followed like a real movie should. A decent plot, character development, and the nonsensical female stereotypes were rarely followed. Maybe I have low standards knowing what this movie's up against, but color me impressed. Amy Townsend held her own and that's something to be proud of. This was her story, not Aaron's. And the comical interjections from LeBron James couldn't have been better. All tied together with an air of realness.

We all know someone that's ill, someone with an addiction. We know someone who can't be faithful to their partners. We know someone who's an **** and someone who needs to change. Those people are us, our friends, our family. We have these problems and now we can laugh at them too. It's about realizing what's important in life, but still not taking it too seriously. It is Amy Schumer after all.… Expand

Four words: AMY SCHUMER IS HILARIOUS. She delivers a hilarious role in a pretty good film. Although Trainwreck is not Judd Apatow's best, it still delivers a lot of laughs and smiles.

Original, quirky comedy but the main character is not super likeable. Some of the sex scenes didn't need to be so long because the payoff comedy-wise at least was not really there.

Perhaps the best example comes early on, when Schumer's boss (played hilariously by Tilda Swinton,) tells her to write an article on a sports doctor. Amy's character responds by saying that sports are idiotic, and that people who watch them are of a lesser intelligence. While the joke was funny as it stood alone, it didn't jive with the fact that Schumer's character was deeply attached to her sickly father, who was a big sports fan himself.
Other jokes hit you over the head too hard and too often. Lebron James plays a sensitive, down to earth version of himself (which it seems is the whole joke,) John Cena cameos as a muscle meat-head (with some great one liners, like, "I want us to be married, with three boys....and two....more boys," but his homoerotic jokes play out pretty quickly. Bill Hader is a bland mushroom of funnily un-funny, and asks us the burning question, is it possible to try too hard at not trying?
Don't get me wrong, I love Amy Schumer, especially her standup, but this movie wasn't that great.… Expand

A better rom-com than most. The first half of the film was a lot of fun, it started off with a very interesting scene that set the tone and premise of the movie. The second half fell into the trap of being to stereotypical for its genre.

Perhaps a better term to use to describe it would be a 'relationship comedy drama', as it isn't really big on romance but its very much about one persons relationships, just not in a sentimental way for the most part. It is a quite contemporary , somewhat slick comedy/drama - I suppose you could say its a rom/com style of a film, only (as you might have guessed) its not exactly full of sentimental romance, featuring more of a 'ladette' character. Some of the comedy I didn't particularly find funny but other instances I did. The comedy is sometimes quite observational based and its fair to say that a number of characters are quite sharp and 'to the point', including the main character, Amy. Her boss, Dianna, reminded me of the **** boss in 'The Devil Wears Prada', Miranda Priestly. I wasn't convinced this film would especially appeal to me, as I don't tend to particularly like films featuring loud and brash female US comedians, usually but I'd read good write-ups of this and having found it to be on Netflix, I obviously gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised. I suppose it is a little reminiscent of Sex & The City, although perhaps slightly less explicit. There are some cringe-worthy moments present, as you'd probably expect, with some awkward situations depicted.

Cast wise, Amy Schumer plays the main character, Amy Townsend. She is quite outspoken and assertive but her mouth gets her in to some problems at times, which made me laugh at times. She looks like quite an average sort of a person but the character she's depicting seems like the sort of person most everyone has encountered at one point or another - someone so brash she gets the better of herself at times. Other cast members include Tilda Swinton as her boss Dianna, Colin Quinn as Gordon, John Cena as Steven and Brie Larson as Kim. Content wise, the film contains partial nudity, male nudity (no female nudity), sex scenes with nothing graphic visually shown and numerous sex references, plus strong language and multiple drug references (including references about the taking of drugs). There is a minor element of violence although its pretty mild. The film has been given a 15 rating to reflect this.

All in all, I found this equally cringe-y and a bit embarrassing at times (the prude that I am(!)) and also surprisingly funny and amusing at other times. It is silly, a bit wacky and it most certainly isn't original from a plot/script point of view, plus it became a little cheesy towards the end but I can't deny that I enjoyed it, got a few laughs and was glad that I'd seen it overall.

Unsurprisingly, yes I would recommend this film. Ok I wouldn't recommend it specifically for watching in front of your parents or anything like that, as it is quite saucy in parts but its not as sexual as some shows/films and I did find myself laughing at times. The main character is somewhat relatable and endearing perhaps, at a pinch but in any case, the cast is decent and I was surprised that I enjoyed watching it as much as I did but I did, so, obviously due to this I would overall recommend it, yes.… Expand
