Cast: Amy Schumer, Bill Hader, Brie Larson, Colin Quinn, John Cena, Tilda Swinton, LeBron James
Amy is a 30-something journalist who likes to drink hard and sleep around. But what happens when she's assigned to interview a sensitive and single sports doctor? This comedy marks the screenwriting debut of Amy Schumer, but it's very much a Judd Apatow movie (that is, the jokes revolve around sex and substance abuse, and it's too long). As a romantic comedy, it offers nothing new. No matter how original or subversive the set-up may seem, you know exactly how it's going to end. The ending feels particularly unearned when Amy behaves like a selfish asshole throughout the story. There are at least some amusing cameos, such as Tilda Swinton as Amy's obnoxious editor and LeBron James as a more stingy and romantic version of himself.
