Very, very funny. And who knew Bill Hader could do "not over the top"?
Fun stuff.
I really wanted to like this.
It was 45 minutes too long (I think it was a little over two hours).
A good portion of it -- the parts that focused on Schumer, Hader, Quinn, Birbigs and his weird kid -- were good and had some really funny stuff. Basically the first 30-45 minutes were very good. Then it completely implodes. Or maybe it jumps the rails?
The last half of it was SPORTZ cameos that ranged from unnecessary/irrelevant (Chris Evert, and Matthew Broderick?) to cringe-inducingly bad (LeBron and Marv Albert). The final scene in MSG was just unbelievably ... unbelievable.
LeBron should be banned from ever acting again. If he started gambling on basketball games, it would be the second worst thing he's done after his performance in Trainwreck. He could probably commit a double homicide that's a more forgivable offense.

I don't see why you think that Matthew Broderick is irrelevant to sports, given his lengthy professional wrestling career.

Good thing he's not about to be the star of a Space Jam remake

Every Judd Apatow movie is 45 minutes too long. At least.
