Trainwreck (2015)Trainwreck is a sharp, funny and surprisingly heartfelt romantic comedy released in 2015, directed by Judd Apatow and written by and starring Amy Schumer in her feature film debut. Schumer plays Amy Townsend, a commitment-phobic magazine writer whose carefully constructed single life is upended when she falls for sports doctor Aaron Conners (Bill Hader). The film was a major critical and commercial success, grossing over $140 million worldwide and earning Schumer a Golden Globe nomination for her screenplay. Apatow's direction gives the film room to breathe, balancing raucous comedy with genuine emotional honesty, while a scene-stealing supporting turn from LeBron James playing a fictionalised version of himself became one of the most talked-about performances of the year.Highlights Amy Schumer's screenplay — Autobiographically inspired, bracingly honest and consistently funny; one of the sharpest original comedy scripts of the decade and the foundation everything else is built on. Bill Hader and Amy Schumer's chemistry — Warm, funny and genuinely believable; their relationship is the emotional core of the film and it works beautifully. LeBron James as himself — Unexpectedly hilarious and completely committed; James sends up his own image with perfect comic timing and steals every scene he's in. The Madison Square Garden sequence — A brilliantly staged set piece that brings the film's emotional arc to a memorable and funny conclusion; one of the great rom-com endings of recent years. Colin Quinn as Amy's father — A quietly affecting performance that gives the film its emotional backbone; the father-daughter dynamic adds real depth beneath the comedy.
