Review of Trainwreck

Trainwreck (2015)
7/10
It has its moments
8 November 2019
Amy Townsend drinks too much, parties too much and sleeps with too many men. Her life can't go on like this. Her boss tells her to write an article of a sports doctor named Aaron Conners. They end up in the same bed, and she even sleeps over at his place, which has never happened before. Could she finally settle down with this man? Trainwreck (2015) is a romantic comedy directed by Judd Apatow. Amy Schumer is a comedienne known from her raunchy style. She did not only play the lead in this movie, she also wrote it. Luckily it's not all about raunchiness, there are also some sweet and touching moments. The chemistry between her and Bill Hader works. Other actors also work for their money. Brie Larson plays the sister Kim. Colin Quinn is the father Gordon. John Cena is a boyfriend Steven. Tilda Swinton is the boss Dianna. The basketball great LeBron James plays himself. The rapper Method Man is Temembe. And then we have Norman Lloyd playing Norman. Today this actor turns 105! That's pretty unbelievable. This is his last movie to date, and he is quite a scene stealer as the old folks home resident. Then you also have talents like Daniel Radcliffe, Marisa Tomei and Matthew Broderick in the movie. I must admit I'm not too crazy about movies like this, but I had rather positive feelings after I finished it. I know Trainwreck isn't a movie for everybody, but it does have its moments.
