I’ve been meaning to watch this movie since it was at the movies a while back, but at the time I couldn’t make it, so I was just now able to catch it. Honestly, I’m glad I didn’t go see it in a big screen.
Until this, I hadn’t watch anything with Amy Schumer, I caught a couple of interviews with her, and although I didn’t find her particularly funny, I decided that it was time to give her a chance, because if everyone finds her so damn funny, they have to have a reason, right?
Oh well… I found the movie a complete Trainwreck (yes, pun intended). I didn’t find it funny at all. Actually, sorry, I’m lying here, it had its funny moments, and it was usually between Bill Hader and LeBron James (or any other basketball star running around at the time).
I found the premise of this movie really great, a complete genderbending of the so traditional “bad boy doesn’t want to settle down, then he meets the right girl and turns his life around”. So the beginning showed promise, with Amy sleeping around and doing what she liked, however it got old pretty fast, by the complete lack of human decency that her character showed. I mean, girl, if you don’t want to actually sleep with a guy, don’t make him stop breathing so he doesn’t bother you – get up and leave! I don’t know, her character just really got on my nerves. The way she treated her boyfriend, and then her sister and her family, was just not ok. And the jokes weren’t that funny.
Amy Schumer does know how to act, and well! It can been seen in the last minutes of the movie, especially in her dramatic scenes. I also didn’t understand why all her dresses were so damn short, lol, I’m sure there’s a reason, I just didn’t get it.
Really, what saved the movie for me was Bill Hader’s moments without Amy Schumer… =/
Also, John Cena’s character?! Really? I can’t even!
My Tiny Obsessions 
OMG! I AM SO GLAD YOU DIDN’T FIND IT FUNNY EITHER!
I was so depressed afterwards. Everyone seemed to love it and praise it as the new star comedy, but I just didn’t think it was all that great …
it wasn’t! I kept thinking “hey, isn’t she supposed to be super funny?” – she’s not, and the movie is not funny, at all. I liked LeBron James most of all, imagine that!I was so disappointed 😦
Me too!
I don’t get the hype.
me neither 😦 I guess the hype has to do with Amy Schumer, right? She’s everywhere these days =/. It’s a pity really, because it was a good premise, but poorly executed 😦
Yeah, but she’s not that funny. I watched some stand up of hers and I didn’t find that all that good either …
yeah, that’s what I thought. I saw a couple of minutes of her show, and I couldn’t do it 😦
I kept hearing people say it was super funny, but it doesn’t sounds like something I’d really watch. Great review though.
i had high hopes for this one, but it fell totally flat
I do hate it when that happens.
This movie had way too much hype. I did not think it was funny and I only watched about half of it and ended up Wikipedia-ing the ending.
oh wow =/ I’m glad I’m not the only though, who didn’t enjoy it
I’ve never seen anything from Amy Schumer because I had absolutely no desire to and you just confirmed it. I feel like she’s trying to be Rebel Wilson and there’s no one else like her. Definitely staying clear of this
it’s sad I think, because she’s thought of as a big name within female comedians, but i don’t like her kind of humour… 😦
I need to see this movie!
I have seen Amy Schumer as a comedian and at interviews and I find her quite funny, but I totally agree about the movie, the premise was good, even the trailer was good, but the movie was pretty terrible.
i had high hopes for it =/ I want to see more stuff with her, because I’ve seen too little to properly judge
