Trainwreck (2015)

  So apparently if I don't schedule a post for Monday, I don't remember to do a post for Monday.  My bad.  Happy Thanksgiving weekend!

Amy (Amy Schumer) has always run from anything resembling a real relationship but when she is assigned to write an article on sports doctor Aaron Conners (Bill Hader), she decides to give it a shot.  

That's basically it.  Standard rom-com.  Your mileage will vary depending on how much you enjoy Schumer's brand of humor and/or Judd Apatow comedies.  Personally, I found it crude and boring.  Tilda Swinton is phenomenal as Amy's horrible boss and there are supporting turns from Brie Larson, Colin Quinn, John Cena, Dave Atell, Randall Park, John Glaser, Ezra Miller, Marisa Tomei, and Daniel Radcliffe, as well as sports people like LeBron James and Amar'e Stoudemire.  People made a big deal about LeBron James' acting in this but I found him stilted.  

It's currently streaming on Peacock but you can do better.
