Trainwreck

The(ir) Blurb...

Despite having a love/hate relationship with her scoundrel of a father Gordon Townsend, the one thing Amy Townsend has grown up believing from him is that monogamy isn't realistic, he and Amy's mom who broke up due to infidelity when Amy was young. As such, she gets drunk and stoned frequently in her pursuit of indiscriminate sex, with an unstated rule that there is no sleeping over once the sex is over. Her current 'boyfriend', Steven, believes they are exclusive, not knowing that she sleeps with other men. Working at sensationalistic magazine S'nuff under head sensationalist Dianna, Amy is in line for a promotion, she certain to get it if her next story meets Dianna's scrutiny. That story is a profile of sports doctor to the stars, Dr. Aaron Conners, it despite Amy knowing nothing about sports. To Amy's amazement, Aaron wants to date her following their first sexual encounter, his sexual history in terms of quantity which is in extreme contrast to her own.

Comedian Amy Schumer wrote and starred in this comedy about a woman falling in love for the first time. In the film’s latter half, while Schumer’s character is listing off reasons her boyfriend should not want to be with her, she says she has been with many men and asks how many women he has slept with. He says three, and she replies “Me too! I’ve slept with three women too.” While this led to some outlets describing her character as bisexual, the line is treated more as a throwaway joke than a real indication of her romantic feelings so GLAAD did not count the character in its final tally.

Any reason not to mention the galling homophobia directed towards the little boy?!?
