Since she was a little girl, it';s been drilled into Amy';s head by her rascal of a dad that monogamy isn';t realistic. Now a magazine writer, Amy lives by that credo-enjoying what she feels is an uninhibited life free from stifling, boring romantic commitment-but in actuality, she';s kind of in a rut. When she finds herself starting to fall for the subject of the new article she';s writing, a charming and successful sports doctor named Aaron Conners, Amy starts to wonder if other grown-ups, including this guy who really seems to like her, might be on to something.
You forget how limited so many movies' ideas of women are until Schumer launches into an extended tampon joke. It's a film about everyday sexism and double standards.
If there is a lesson to be learned from Trainwreck, it's that you can't succeed if you never try. It's one of those platitudes often touted in sports, charmingly and appropriately repurposed here.
The title of the movie suggests its heroine is in need of repair, but the early sequences of her tottering home in high heels and sneaking outside during a date to get high defy condemnation.
It's great. As is the closing hip-hop dance number. It's not close to groundbreaking as anything she's done on her show, but Trainwreck adds another dimension to an exciting performer.

This is a film that belongs not to its director but to its star, who, if there is any justice in the world, is about to ascend from cult icon to mass phenomenon.
