Though her new film Trainwreck, directed by Judd Apatow, isn't a wreck - there's plenty of material to laugh about - it remains disappointingly myopic.

| Feb 3, 2021

Trainwreck is a complete blast. Even as it sends up rom-com clichés, it manages to be both seriously funny and genuinely romantic.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 10, 2016

Enjoyable enough, and certainly not a trainwreck - it just doesn't quite clear the platform.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 16, 2015

Schumer's performance is a tour de force of razor-sharp comedic timing.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 14, 2015

Schumer has produced the most retrograde romcom for years, funny though it often is.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 14, 2015

Trainwreck is both the best romantic comedy of the year as well as its most crushing disappointment.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 13, 2015

At times it feels as if five different films are going on at once, but Schumer's whip-smart delivery and no-holds perkiness keeps it all in place.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 13, 2015

Its contradictions are obvious but its one consistent quality is it humour. Amy sees the comedy in everything from divorce to death and, most absurd of all, her own romantic longings.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 13, 2015

At best, it's a two-hour assemblage of hit'n'miss sketches revolving around the vicissitudes of the Manhattan dating scene.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 13, 2015

Trainwreck hasn't got the acid of Apatow's more incorrect comedies: some laughs, though.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 13, 2015

Where Trainwreck comes unstuck is in its struggle to raise laughs from tactless material.

| Aug 13, 2015

Amy Schumer has talent, for sure, but that talent is wasted here.

| Aug 13, 2015

At last. Trainwreck drags the romantic comedy kicking and screaming into the late 1950s.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 13, 2015

The film is often hysterical in the best sense. Not just funny-hysterical, its script bubbling with bad-girl one-liners, but hysterical with an edge of funky, missionary outreach and outrage ...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 13, 2015

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.

Full Review | Aug 7, 2015

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 21, 2015

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.

Schumer and Hader generate not heat but warmth, the X factor of classic romantic comedy.

| Jul 17, 2015

It's got no rhythm or reliable comfort zone. The jokes and ensemble scenes are all rushed, so you can't savor them or what anyone in them is doing.

| Jul 17, 2015

Trainwreck ... has some very traditional romantic comedy elements, including a big, implausible finish. But even if you know where you're going to wind up, it takes interesting side trips along the way.
