Trainwreck directed by Judd Apatow


       I most recently saw the movie Trainwreck, directed by Judd Apatow and written by Amy Schumer who stars along side Bill Hader.  The comedy begins with two young girls taking a lesson in from their dad, subject matter being on the unnatural human tendency of monogamy.  Years later, Amy Schumer’s character, Amy, lives her ideal life by drinking and having casual sex with countless of men.  After meeting a sports doctor for an interview, new feelings emerge for Amy, and while experiencing these feelings with this new relationship, Amy realizes there could be much more to monogamy.

     The comedy brings hilarious moments while illustrating the dysfunction in Amy's life.  While delivering funny scenes to the audience, the movie dives into deeper issues without bringing in the drama that makes you or the person next to you uncomfortable.  After leaving the film, my friend and I turned to each other and both agreed that Amy Schumer was now our new role model.  She gives off an aura of confidence, femininity, strength, and humor that many women, including myself, strive to bring into their own lives.  The film's lead actor role is given to SNL and comedy man Bill Hader who adjusts perfectly into the rom-com man.  He is cute, funny, and charming, a change from the funny, interesting man we see from him in some of his other work like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and his varied SNL roles.  This movie could be the new Bridesmaids.  For a girl's night out or a romantic evening with the significant other, Trainwreck has proved to be everything but a wreck.
