Trainwreck (2015 Judd Apatow)

Know what one of the problems with this is? You can't get an un-Extended cut. It's flabby and full of unnecessarily extended scenes that any sane editor would have cut out. That is the Apatow problem. Which is a shame, because Amy Schumer's script is good enough to work without additional flab.

Then to my astonishment I realised we had been watching the two hour theatrical version all along - the extended version is only three minutes different.  Wow.

It's good to see Bill Hader as the lead, and contributions from LeBron James, Tilda Swinton, Brie Larson, Ezra Miller, Colin Quinn (dad), John Cena, Vanessa Bayer and Norman Lloyd are fun (plus Dan Soder as the homeless guy).
