Amy Schumer, Bill Hader,
My comments: Amy Schumer is hilariously funny, terrifyingly honest, and has a serious side that is unexpected and welcome. I say this because she wrote this screenplay as well as starred in it, and I was impressed on both counts. It was pretty raunchy, which might be off-putting to some, but I loved how very, very real it made the protagonist. Having LeBron James as one of the characters was so much fun ... and he did a great job! And casting Bill Hader was genius. He was so perfect for the role! What a great flick.
RT Summary: Since she was a little girl, it's been drilled into Amy's (Schumer) head by her rascal of a dad (Colin Quinn) that monogamy isn't realistic. Now a magazine writer, Amy lives by that credo-enjoying what she feels is an uninhibited life free from stifling, boring romantic commitment-but in actuality, she's kind of in a rut. When she finds herself starting to fall for the subject of the new article she's writing, a charming and successful sports doctor named Aaron Conners (Bill Hader), Amy starts to wonder if other grown-ups, including this guy who really seems to like her, might be on to something.
