Sometimes fate has its way of changing the way we see the 
world. When it comes to matters of the heart, there is no 
telling what can happen when there are two people who 
really care about each other. Train wreck is a hilarious 
romantic comedy written by Amy Schumer. Schumer plays 
“Amy” a writer at a men's lifestyle magazine. Her career and 
her life was pretty comfortable and predictable as it 
consisted of causal sexual relationships that had no potential 
for real romance or commitment. But things changed when 
she was assigned an article piece on a sports medicine 
surgeon named Aaron who just happens to be best friends 
with LeBron James.

Since she was very young Amy, was afraid of monogamy. It 
was taught to her by her father that monogamy was 
unrealistic. At the point where she met Aaron (the sports 
medicine surgeon) she was involved in a lot of one night 
stands and causal sexual encounters, along with having a 
boyfriend who she apparently did not care very much about 
because he was unaware of her side affairs with other men.

Once Amy met Aaron she became immediately attracted to 
him, but not in just a sexual way. She then realizes that their 
relationship was not just causal. There was actually some 
depth to their relationship. She reluctantly dates him and 
unknowingly becomes involved in a monogamous 
relationship with him and through that process, learns a lot 
about herself. She was indeed a train wreck waiting to 
happen, but at the same time she had discovered something 
and someone who was worth fighting for. Monogamy became 
something to consider as she rationalized her feelings for 
Aaron.

Amy Schumer and Bill Hader (who plays her love interest 
Aaron) have a great on screen chemistry in this movie. Train 
Wreck is rated R because it has lots of sex scenes and 
mature language that is even more outrageous. The movie 
has a lot of funny moments but also a risque romantic 

comedy to watch.
