Trainwreck — Page 2

Schumer is already a star, which is why the movie opened well. She is talented, the movie does not serve her well, it is not well done, it has some funny moments but is utterly conventional in its conservative rom com conclusions. It has several funny moments but far more lugubrious sequences.

I loved the movie. In fact, this Summer it happened to be my favorite thus far. I guess I like a conventional film. I had never seen Amy Schumer before. I never watched her show. After seeing the movie, I watched her show. I happen to like the movie more.

I guess everyone has different taste. I thought the movie was funny, charming, over the top and fun. I was howling with laughter. I also enjoyed some of the hot men in the film.

I found Bill from SNL, ADORABLE, and the body builder even though he plays a moron his body was very erotic, and it did a lot for me. LOL.

BLUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not my normal preppy type but there is something very sexy about the man below. Woof.

I am the rare person who has never quite gotten Schumer. I have always found her comedy far too anxious to please the liberal angels and there is something self-congratulatory and safe about her work. When she isn't pushing a politically correct agenda, she is obvious as all get-out. She is the comedy icon of the politically correct age. So much so that many of her sketches, like her military video game spoof, have no humor whatsoever, just a message to put across that preaches to the choir.

So in this sense I'm not surprised TRAINWRECK (definition: a woman with a high-paying job who drinks and has multiple, but not to an outrageous degree, sexual partners) bows down to convention. Blaming it all on Apatow is small minded. As far as I can see it, he's just an enabler in this situation.

I think the fact that Schumer's TV doesn't always work is in part thanks to its braveness. It takes risks. They don't always work, but as a viewer, I'm happy I witnessed them.

I saw Trainwreck tonight, and I loved it. Sure, some scenes felt longer than others, but I was engaged in her world, and I was happy to spend as much time there as I could. I love her humor and I love that she isn't afraid to pick on herself, like when Cena says she "looks like a boy from behind." I think she's killin it in the comedy game, and I think her show is, as it now, nothing but successful. She'll be fine. I loved it, and it was an emotional rollercoaster.

I find the politically correct badge baffling.

And yet, and yet, I laughed all the way thru this promotional interview with Amy and Bill Hader from Australia

Namo, there is no truth about this movie. Some people liked it, some didn't. It was given an A- Cinemascore, which is really good. Just because you hated it doesn't mean you are telling the truth. Why do you care so much that other people like this movie?

Also, in its second weekend it only dropped 43%, which is quite good for a big Hollywood movie. Usually, if your second week is less than a 60% drop, you're in good shape.

$35 Million budget? Opened in over 3,000 theatres? Yeah, it's a big Hollywood movie.

It was only on in one format. Seems small scale by big Hollywood movie standards.

I was told that the rule of thumb is you have to triple the origninal production budget to know if a movie is sucessful. The 2/3s are taken up by advertizing, peomotion, distribution costs etc.
