This was hilarious. Worth seeing just for the John Cena scenes. I never knew he could be that funny. Amy Schumer is great too. Just enough of her typical character acting without going overboard.

I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. John Cena and Lebron James stole the movie. I read that Cena improvised his lines in the theater, I was almost crying from laughter. It was also nice to see Colin Quinn, he was hilarious the very first scene with the little girls.

We watched this last night. I agree that LeBron James and John Cena were some of the best parts. It even made me appreciate LeBron James whereas before I had a very low tolerance for him (based solely on his whole Cleveland/Miami nonsense).

It did seem to drag a bit towards the end, but overall I enjoyed it.

I finally watched it over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised. LeBron was really funny and I liked Bill Hader a lot. Amy was, acting-wise, the weak link, but I laughed a lot.

Well, it wouldn't be a Judd Apatow film if it didn't.

I finally watched this. It was pleasant enough, even though it was way too long.

My opinion is colored by having gotten a lot of Amy Schumer over the past year and not liking much of what I got. I found the trainwrecky scenes (the drunken sexual encounters, etc) amusing, but when she was supposed to be endearing and sweet at the end, I didn't buy it.

I just watched this this weekend and now have zero interest in any more Amy Schumer movies. The only thing I like from her is her TV show, maybe because it has lots of writers and not just her. Her stand-up is only okay. I hate rom-coms so my opinion of this movie may be colored by that but even the parts that were trying to buck the rom-com side I was rolling my eyes at. I like Bill Hader but I really didn't care if they got together or not. The best people in this were LeBron and John Cena. Brie Larson was kind of wasted in it, as was Mike Birbiglia. Too much Amy? Also, too much Apatow?
