Trainwreck (2015 Judd Apatow)

Written by and starring Amy Schumer, and nice to see Bill Hader in a leading role, From the outtakes you realise that this is partly an improvised film, thus the 'extended version' we're also offered, and the three editors that are involved in finding the right bits - honestly, can you imagine Wilder and Diamond working this way? Still, the results are undeniably funny.

John Cena is the muscle-bound gay, Tilda Swinton unrecognisable as bitchy editor, Brie Larson the sister, Hitch's mate Norman Lloyd, LeBron James and Colin Quinn as Dad, with Daniel Radcliffe and Marisa Tomei in hilarious film-within-film about dog-walker.

So, yes.

Arguably the funniest line comes when she clears out her flat and gives a cardboard box to beggar Dave Attell, who responds:
"Booze! Drugs! And a place to live!"
