Judd Apatow’s latest flick delivers laughs, tears and often engaging anti-romantic banter. Needless to say, an eye-turning performance from comedienne (and co-creator) Amy Schumer.
Trainwreck is almost arguably any millennial’s description of a phase in their lives. In the movie we see Schumer play Amy, a “work hard, play hard” free-spirited journalist who is very much into casual sex. Although she is always partying and hooking up with various men, she is also “kind of seeing someone” in the form of Steven (John Cena), a seemingly dumb gym rat. She works for S’nuff Magazine where she is given a writing assignment by her boss, Dianna (Tilda Swinton) after she made fun of people who are into sports. This is where she meets Aaron Conners (Bill Hader), a well-known sports doctor in New York City. He didn’t seem impressed by Amy given her opinions and answers in their initial interview. A supporting role by Lebron James also becomes one of the film’s highlights.
While the audiences are treated to a run-of-the-mill story about a soaring career woman, Director Judd Apatow also manages to pack a generous amount of heart as he shifts the dynamic the story into Amy’s family life. This is where we find out why a character is the way they are, and what events in their childhood caused their current state in life.
Amy’s father Gordon (Colin Quinn) has multiple sclerosis. She and her sister Kim (an outstanding Brie Larson) goes to his house to pack the place up as he is going to an assisted living home. Kim resents their dad because he was exactly like Amy today: he slept around, partied a little too much and was unfaithful to their mom. In the beginning of the film we see younger versions of themselves and their father proclaiming: “Monogamy isn’t realistic!”. Amy then visits him at his new home and feels sad about the situation, thus motivating her to make their temporary family situation work.
She then meets up again with Aaron at his sports office for another interview. After which she tried going on the treadmill, when it wouldn’t slow down she panicked and started breathing heavily. Aaron rescued her and calms her down, then invites her for dinner. They finally learn more about each other as they bond over drinks. This results to Amy going to Aaron’s place. The next day, he calls her to ask if they can see each other again. She thinks he is delusional and that it was just a one-time event.

Being the commitment-phobe that she is, Amy freaks out over the idea that their friendship might turn into a relationship. She then develops feelings for him and since this is a rom-com, it worked out well for them! As the movie progresses, problems and arguments ensue, and a big amount of that is caused by how Amy is. She’s defensive, she has self-inflicted wounds and she has never been in solid relationships enough to act maturely.
We give Amy Schumer props for switching her character from extremely hilarious to utterly heartbreaking as the story delved on a tragic turn. The scene where she described her relationship with her father among their family and friends is quite the validation that she could also very well be a dramatic actor. It was quite a delight to witness the all-star cast really delivered and made a somewhat formulaic story into a refreshing take on relationships.
Distributed by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures, Trainwreck will be shown exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas nationwide starting tomorrow, August 26.
