Inside Amy Schumer was great in season 1, enjoyable enough in season 2... and downright bad in Season 3. The show as present is excellent for facebook shares and tweets, but watching the same gag 6 times over 22 minutes is Not What I Call Entertainment. From what I understand, that's Trainwreck in a nutshell - plots designed to give Schumer space to do the same 5-minute bit, interspersed with LeBron's terrible acting.

Additionally.. having seen hundreds of comedy shows over the years in NYC, the Irascible Irresponsible Slutface routine is pretty stale.

All I'm getting from the trailers is the worn-out romantic trope of 'just gotta find the right one and settle down like good little heteros' from the bad-girl angle as opposed to the bad-boy angle. Oh, she looks like she's having a rollicking good time boozing it up and bedding random dudes, but nooo, she's really empty and sad inside. Until she finds the right dick, of course! Yay - everything is magically better! Feh.

Amy Schumer is an overrated hack of an obese racist and she's too old to play anyone's girlfriend.

"Narce spiral"? Christ. And it's Hubble telescope. I don't understand how such typos are missed when blogging on the Internet.

The movie looks entertaining enough, in a brainless, guilty pleasure way.

Do you really mean ' 20 years ago ...Hugh Jackman would have played...' or Hugh Grant?

I think it has potential, but... Do we really have to go down the road of portraying the woman as solving her problems by doing what everyone else is doing? As far as I can tell, the character is initially pretty happy with her life and doesn't feel like it needs to be changed. If you want to impress me with a "new" kind of romcom, have her still enjoy her life as it is and have the ending involve her continuing to enjoy her life with people who are on the same page as her instead of her having to decide that marriage and kids is where it's at.

This is a good start, but it's still telling women that their only option for a happy ending is to conform and settle down.

@1 Inside Amy Schumer season 3 was brilliant, clever, and hilarious. The Friday Night Lights sketch was not only one of the funniest bits I've ever scene, but also one of the most timely and well done critiques of a current major issue facing our society. Then there was the 12 Angry Men episode. Amazing. If you couldn't appreciate that then your sense of humor truly has no hope.

@7: Really? No, really. Seriously? "Scene"? "SCENE"???

@7 it was funny 10 years ago, it was funny 5 years ago, it was even pretty funny 2 years. But it's tiiired. played out. Like saying "wassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupppppppppppppppppppp" to your friends or dropping a "that's what she said"

Please wait...
