Trainwreck


A female journalist, leading a promiscuous life of one night stands, is sent to interview a mild sports doctor and begins to sense unprecedented monogamous thoughts.

This is my first exposure to actor and writer Amy Schumer. She is an 'in your face' performer and raw in manner but I like what I see. Her gender switching behaviour is pointed and clever and she comes across as open minded and tolerant.

'Trainwreck' may follow a predictable romantic comedy arc but it does so in an entertaining way. Tilda Swinton is delightfully unrecognisable in a key supporting role and I once again I've rather taken a shine to Bill Hader.
