Highly influenced from her youth by the
infidelities of her father, Amy Townsend has grown up with an intense fear of
commitment. During the day, she works as a writer for a men’s magazine. Then,
she spends her spare time drinking too much and going from one one-night-stand
to another. Out on assignment, she meets sports doctor Aaron Conners, who might
very well change her view on relationships.
This is a sweet little romantic comedy, where
the acting is decent and the story is compelling enough to keep you interested.
The end is predictable, but such is life with rom coms.
I am not a big fan of Amy Schumer’s stand-up
work, but, here, she does a good job, which is not surprising since she
basically plays the one-note character she is known for. When she is alone on
stage, it can get irritating, but, surrounded with the write surroundings, it
can be made bearable.
There were quite a few moments that made me
laugh out loud. Colin Quinn’s performance was a highlight for me, and I sure
did not expect that. The whole thing is a bit cheesy overall, but it is still
an entertaining flick.
