Storyline
Since she was a little girl, it's been drilled into Amy's head by her rascal of a dad that monogamy isn't realistic. Now a magazine writer, Amy lives by that credo - enjoying what she feels is an uninhibited life free from stifling, boring romantic commitment - but in actuality, she's kind of in a rut. When she finds herself starting to fall for the subject of the new article she's writing, a charming and successful sports doctor named Aaron Conners, Amy starts to wonder if other grown-ups, including this guy who really seems to like her, might be on to something.

When you team up Judd Apatow, one of the best comedy directors working today, with Amy Schumer, one of the best comedians working today, you've struck gold. TRAINWRECK subverts the rom-com genre because of its unlikely protagonist, Amy, a woman who doesn't look perfect and is totally likable because of that. At the same time, the film's biggest flaw is how much it adheres to the rom-com formula, but it doesn't detract from the quality overall. TRAINWRECK essentially is a showcase of the many talents Schumer has to offer. It's a vehicle for her to tell the world, hey look, here's someone that you should be paying attention to. Additionally, it happens to be semi-autobiographical, and while often hilarious, it's also honest and heartfelt. In one surprisingly moving monologue, she gets to show a vulnerable side of herself, which you never get to see on her show.
