The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

... View MoreOh the miracles of promotion! How could one otherwise build a career by constantly recycling the same gross joke and in your face attitude, if not supported by huge promotion? Some people probably think it cute that in addition to that it's a girl who does that, one who is almost overweight and almost attractive, but she is so auto-ironic and so cool about everything, isn't she? Where is decency, where is cleverness in stand-up shows? Oh yeah, those are for the dinosaurs, now we are so 'meh' about anything, we've done it all, we've seen it all, but we don't know who we are - never mind, we think we can express our lowest thoughts on a stage and pack that as a stand-up routine. Loads of gross, sex jokes and toilet humor, egotism and ultimately dumbing down the public. If only it had humor at least...Now the good part: some of the filmed skits, dealing with relationships and minor social aspects, but without grossness, are really funny and insightful. But it's too little for the whole show.
... View MoreI often wonder how much 'professional' critics get paid as Schumer seems to have a few too many positive reviews. I can understand some liking her, we are all different, but the media coverage and the sheer number of positive coverage seems somewhat odd.Shocking and puerile seems to be her go-to with the same 'joke' repeated again and again (and again). Difficult to understand why she has had the leg up from the media to such an extent.Garbage and a real step back to some of the great female comediennes. I guess between Schumer and McCarthy the future of female comedienne role models is down the toilet.
... View MoreI thought the Amish interview was really fun and interesting. I would really like if they posted the longer form of the interviews online. I really like her she is sooo funny! The more I watch her the more impressed I am with Amy as an actress. Sometimes The awkwardness was too damn high. I covered my face with my hands. just phenomenal. great acting. I watched the one she's talking about how girls are too understanding when they are not really comfortable with something but try to fake it bc they are too nice or pc, but then there's people who would just flat out rule you out for the smallest things. Been there lol.
... View MoreShe's a one trick pony relying on sex jokes to get by, which would be fine if they were actually funny. Every episode uses the same exact jokes and the situations only get worse with each passing episode. Now don't get me wrong, I love raunchy humor as much as the next guy but only if it's clever and hasn't been done a million times before. There are countless female stand up comics that are much funnier than Schumer and would put out much more original, funny sketches. Comedy Central has gone downhill the past few years and this and Brickleberry show that beyond a doubt. At least CC finally had mercy on us and cancelled Brickleberry. Here's to hoping they do the same with this and finally (fingers crossed) put out another Sketch show near the level of Chappelle.
