"Trainwreck" - Trailer



I'm not a fan of Amy Schumer.... at all, but this movie actually looks like it might be funny. I'm a big fan of Bill Hader and I love that Lebron James has a role in this movie. But, the main reason I am going to watch this is because it's an "Apatow Production" movie and Judd Apatow is one of my all time favorite Directors / Producers and probably this generation's BEST comedy film-maker. Apatow is responsible for such hilarious films as, "Pineapple Express", "Knocked Up", "Superbad", "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", "Funny People", "The 40 Year Old Virgin", "Wanderlust", "Bridesmaids", "Step Brothers", "Talladega Nights", "This is 40", and many other comedy classics and fan-favorites. I won't list every movie he has directed & produced because there are so many! He is married to famous actress, Leslie Mann and together they have two daughters, Maude & Iris Apatow. Oddly enough, Apatow casts his own family to star in some of these comedy movies, such as "Knocked Up", "This is 40", and "Funny People". You can see the chemistry between them on-screen, and both of their daughters are natural actresses. For some reason, Paul Rudd is cast as the husband & father to Apatow's family in all three films they're in together.

It seems Judd Apatow always hires actors from the same group of guys - Seth Rogen's circle of friends, who are always doing movies with each other. It includes pretty much EVERYONE from the movies, "Knocked Up" & "This is The End", including well known actors other than Seth Rogen, such as:  Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Martin Starr, Jason Segel, James Franco, Joe Lo Truglio, John C. Reily, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, David Koechner, Will Ferell, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Bill Hader, and of course, Leslie Mann (his wife). Paul Rudd & Seth Rogen seem to be his favorite actors to work with,.but I love every single one of those actors named, so even though I dislike Amy Schumer, Judd Apatow creates comedy gold - so hopefully it will be great.
