About the blog:

Well, hello!
Thanks for stopping by to read my opinions about movies that I see. Some are older and most are new. Some I go to see in the theaters (both live performances and movies) and some I watch from the comfort of my own couch and even more, I will watch from the amazing Netflix app.
Of course, these will be my personal thoughts about the targeted item, however, it will give you an idea of whether it's a colossal waste of time or worth a shot!

STORYLINE
Having through monogamy was not in the cards, a commitment-phobic career woman may have to face her fears when she meets a good guy.

MY REVIEW:
To put it short and sweet. I thought Trainwreck was almost a train wreck itself. I am a big Amy Schumer fan and I really wanted to like this movie. It came out of the gate strong with Collin Quinn playing the lecherous Dad of Amy {Amy Schumer} and Kim {Brie Larsen}. So, we skip to the future where Kim has taken the normal path of adulthood.. married to Tom {Mike Birbiglia} with a stepson and a baby on the way. Amy has taken the path of her father, who is now stricken with Alzheimer's and in a retirement home. Amy is seen with a string of one-night-stands and all-night binge parties.

This was not the movie that the trailers said it would be at all.

The jokes were overdone and for anyone who's familiar with Amy Schemers work will be all too familiar with these jokes that are ever present in the movie. One after another. I found myself rolling my eyes at the over use.

Amy's long term boyfriend with homosexual tendencies is played by John Cena. Pretty painful as cameos go.

Then we get to meet Bill Hader who plays Dr. Aaron something or-other.

This movie went down-hill on skis pretty fast for me. I think they tried to fit all ALL the EMOTIONS into one 30 minute stretch. It was a love story, comedy, partly porn, and a hundred other things. I just didn't connect at all with anything.  All in all. Just a passable movie.
