Storyline
Despite having a love/hate relationship with her scoundrel of a father
Gordon Townsend, the one thing Amy Townsend has grown up believing from
him is that monogamy isn't realistic, he and Amy's mom who broke up due

frequently in her pursuit of indiscriminate sex, with an unstated rule
that there is no sleeping over once the sex is over. Her current

Trainwreck Movies Reviews
And what a trainwreck
it is! I have actually watched a few episodes of 'Inside Amy Schumer',
laughing a few times and sitting there confused for most times. I
understand how hard it is for a stand-up comic to not only star in, but
write a comedy that lasts at least 90 minutes. However, with all my
understandings I just didn't like this film. Small parts of it were kind
of funny, but the rest of it was like a mashup of ideas that were
trying hard to come together.
Hader was the only redeeming factor of the film. He acted with intent and knew the role he was playing. All the celebrity cameos (especially from some of the sports stars) seemed strained at the best of times. Amy herself is unrelatable. I don't understand why people are going crazy for her?? Is it because she is a female in a highly male dominated industry? I'm sure she truly is a funny person, but maybe test run these things a bit more before sending them out into the world.
