I didn't know who Amy Schumer until I saw her on 'The Graham Norton Show' and I thought she was hilarious. When watching her in interview, I kept thinking "I want her to be my friend" and ever since, I was really looking forward to seeing the movie 'Trainwreck,' which she not only acts in, but also wrote the screenplay. And I really enjoyed it, especially since I saw it with a wonderful group of friends.
'Trainwreck' is about a journalist for a magazine, Amy, who, when she was a kid, her dad told her that "monogamy is not realistic." Now she is an adult and lives by this way of life, until one day she is told to write a feature piece on sports doctor, Aaron (played by Bill Hader, who was brilliant in 'The Skeleton Twins' that I saw last year with the same group of friends). How she feels about Aaron is different to how she's ever felt about anyone before; the movie looks at her relationship between him, her father and her sister, as well as her struggle with her own personal problems. The movie was a lot more emotional than I was expecting, but that was a good thing, because it was much more than just a comedy. It was funny, but also very moving, especially when Amy opens up and when there are scenes about her dad. Overall, Amy's lines are so funny, with my favourite scene definitely being the ending, which without spoiling I'm going to call it the "cheerleader scene."

Funnily enough, the first people I had a full on discussion about this movie, were two friendly police officers. It was at night when I saw the movie and because I was the only person on the train platform on my way home, the two policemen who were there, started conversation. I started off telling them about the movie and they asked whether I would recommend it for them, which I admitted that it was more targeted for a female audience, but just because I think that it's main target is women, that doesn't necessarily mean that guys wouldn't enjoy it. But I would recommend it as a good chic flick. One of the policemen then said that he wants to see 'Jurrasic World' (which I personally would not see and I thought that our taste in movies were definitely different), but then we started talking about 'Inside Out' because all three of us saw it and all thought it was incredibly written, especially how it explains depression to a younger audience.
Anyway, as I said, I think 'Trainwreck' is great to see with your friends for a girls night out. Also, I do believe it has 86% in Rotten Tomatoes, which just shows that it is a very good movie.
