Yes, the usual criticisms of an Apatow film apply, though this is sincerely written and acted by Amy Schumer, who's rather good. Actually we were drawn to it again because of Norman Lloyd, an awesome 100 years old when this was made. Colin Quinn is the father ("That guy died three years ago and no one alerted him"), pre-Room Brie Larson as the sister, real pro basketball player LeBron James (who she enjoys sending up), Bill Hader of course, Ezra Miller, Daniel Radcliffe & Marisa Tomei, Vanessa Bayer (smiles too much), Tilda Swinton, rapper Method Man as the African orderly and Dave Attell as the street bum who has many of the best lines.
Jody Lee Lipes (Tiny Furniture, Martha Marcy May Marlene, this year's Manchester By the Sea) was the cinematographer, I'm pleased to say.
Yes. Also liked the subversions (the guys talk about their emotions and watch Downton),
