(played by the hilarious but raunchy Amy Schumer). When she falls in love for the first time with a kind young doctor (played by the adorable Bill Hader) she gets so freaked out she keeps waiting for any excuse to break up. At first she is not a very likable character, but as we get to know her better, it's obvious she is in pain. She drowns herself in alcohol, drugs and meaningless sex due to her fear that she will never have the fairytale ending she secretly longs for.
I don't recommend this movie for people on a first date. It could be awkward. There is a lot of nudity (male butts) and sexual situations. I have no problem with that. Couples will enjoy this. Women will identify with Amy, while men will love all the sport cameos. LeBron James is very funny as Hader's best friend and fellow Downton Abbey fan. Tilda Swinton as Amy's boss is brilliant (but she's brilliant in everything).
On the surface Apatow films seem like immature comedies, but they really aren't. The characters might be immature, but the writing is quick and smart and very honest.
