Trainwreck

I was late to the party, but rented Trainwreck finally. I thought I'd be in for a treat with a cast like Bill Hader, Colin Quinn, LeBron James, and some great cameos from Marv Albert, Matt Broderick, Amare Stoudemire, The New York Knicks cheerleaders. Instead I got a movie that was all about Amy Schumer and her consistent attempt to be shocking and crass with everything is completely unimpressive. She shockingly flashes some real acting chops, but I've simply never been a huge fan of her brand and attempts at humor in large doses. I've never been able to make it through an episode of "Inside Amy Schumer". It could be my fault that I find no humor in what she does. I'm not shocked in any way by her hooking up with random men on a weekly basis, so that fails to impress me. I also didn't like a shackled Bill Hader. He was not given enough besides to fill the shell of "really nice doctor" in this movie. LeBron James excels in his cameo as Bill Hader's character (Dr. Conners) friend and patient. I honestly said out loud while watching that Marv Albert's cameo might have saved the movie for me. John Cena is also pretty good in the film, though in a minor role. Bottom Line: 5.2 out of 10. Don't believe the hype. Despite the star power this is loaded with it falls on its face due to entirely too much Amy Schumer. If you like Amy, I think you'll think better of this film than I do. I will not be watching it again in my life.
