Trainwreck
Ever since her father drilled into her head that monogamy isn't realistic, magazine writer Amy has made promiscuity her credo. As much as she enjoys an uninhibited life free of commitment, Amy is really in a rut. While writing a profile about charming and successful sports doctor Aaron Conners, she finds herself actually falling in love for the first time -- and what's more, Aaron seems to really like her too. Amy starts to wonder if it's time to clean up her act and face her fears.
Critics Sentiment
Amy watches Aaron perform surgery to Billy Joel's Uptown Girl
Amy sleeps with teenage intern and gets fired by Dianna
The film drops significantly from Amy's peak romantic moment watching Aaron's surgery to her rock bottom behavior with the teenage intern, a decline of over 3 points that represents her complete self-destruction.
Trainwreck starts strong with Schumer's subversive comedy and the chemistry between her and Hader, building to charming romantic moments in the first half. The film falters significantly in the middle as Amy's self-destructive behavior becomes increasingly unlikeable, hitting rock bottom during her firing and inappropriate encounter. While it recovers somewhat with her character growth and the feel-good finale, critics consistently noted the film's uneven pacing and Apatow's tendency toward excessive runtime.
