All aboard!
Since her dad told her
“that monogamy isn’t realistic” when she was a little girl, Amy (Schumer) has
been living an uninhibited life that is starting to feel like a rut. Then she
meets a sports doctor named Aaron (Bill Hader).
That’s the simple setup for a
fresh new rom-com that reminded me that a comedy doesn’t have to be a belabored
story separated with a few hit or miss laughs — you can laugh and smile the
full two hours and two minutes.
Much credit goes to Schumer,
whose comic timing makes this a breezy ride. Just when this train is about to
go off the rails with a sappy rom-com ending, she surprises with more guffaws.
Simply put: Your
basic rom com, except it’s really, really funny. Funniest start-to-finish film
since Bridesmaids (2011).
Award potential: Most likely
nominations: Golden Globe comedy picture, comedy lead actress.
The
ten buck review: Worth ten bucks.
