Trainwreck

Actors: Amy Schumer, Bill Hader, Tilda Swinton, Ezra Miller, Brie Larson, Colin Quinn, Vanessa Bayer, John Cena, LeBron James

Rating: 8 out of 10, One of the funniest things I’ve seen in a very long time. It’s hard to imagine finding fertile ground in the well-trod subject of girl meets boy but this film takes the traditional rom-com and turns it inside out and sixteen ways from Sunday. Amy Schumer is so funny in the title role as a New York gal with serious “issues” when it comes to men. The movie is stock full of fantastic cameos and supporting roles including another magnificent turn by Tilda Swinton (does she ever do anything bad?). Bill Hader also finally gets to emerge from his usual background roles to play the guy who may finally be right for Amy. There are too many laugh out loud moments to chronicle and while the film does limp a little to the finish line, that’s almost a relief after laughing continuously for nearly two hours straight.

MVP: Swinton because she’s incomparable as the boss
