I can already tell where it's going. Whore whores it up, whore meets doctor, doctor falls in love with whore, whore downplays her whore history, doctor finds out about whore history and breaks up with whore, whore apologizes, doctor marries whore.
At the end of the day it's still directed and produced by Judd Apatow. His movies follow the tried and true three-act structure. The reason they do so well is because of the comedic writing and the fucking hilarious actors he casts.
you're right. i do generally like judd apatow movies. just with amy's involvement it just seems like the corny little sex jokes are going to be annoyingly plentiful.
I've never been a fan of Amy but I think she's catching way too much shit right now just because she's so ubiquitous at the moment. She's put in the work as a stand up for at least a decade. I respect that even if I don't find her funny. With that in mind I'm going to give this movie a shot and go into it with zero expectations.
If anything I'm much more skeptical of the fact that LeBron fucking James has more than one line in the damn thing. He can't act and unless he pulls out his relatively thin dick on screen, I can't imagine a scenario where he makes me laugh.
The secret to his success is that he produces movies relatively cheaply, so it's very easy for the studio to turn a profit, or at the very least, not lose any money.
Any movie that is a series of vingenettes, typically does not follow the structure:
Slacker
Four Rooms
Waking Life
Babel
Tree of Life
Magnolia
Short Cuts
Lost Days
Sin City
Then you have the special case where the movie jumps around a timeline but if it were to play chronologically it would follow a traditional structure
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
500 Days of Summer
Pulp Fiction
Slumdog Millionaire
Roshomon
Memento
I'll throw a twist in there and say whore has a mini-breakdown near the end of the film and ends up gargling sperm from 3 guys in a public toilet. Then she cries some whore tears in a touching moment of realization and marries the doctor afterwards.
Apparently from the extensive research i did(ie looking at a post of a random person on IMDB) there appears to be no female nudity in this film at all, only a little bit of male nudity. So it most definitely seems to keep in line with your sense of humor.
Rotten Tomatoes can be misleading. This doesn't mean that all the critics thought it was a perfect movie, just that the 12 critics that reviewed it thought it was better than it was bad. They could have all thought it was a 51/100 movie.
The gist of their reviews: "Predictable Rom-Com that you've seen a hundred times, except Amy and Judd Apatow fill it with dirty jokes to make it actually funny"
And "We're a bunch of out of touch hipsters who have a quasi-autistic take on movies who will clap like trained seals for the new, trendy or "edgy" movies like that cumstain Boyhood but give Gran Torino a fuckin 79."
It's true. It's the only movie that I've seen which has used the word "Zipperhead", what a wonderful word. An all around great movie. Underrated by the same blithering chimps that gave Star Wars Episode 3 an 81.
I've liked his four previous movies quite a lot -- I know This Is 40 gets shit on and I have some big problems with it but tonally and as a portrayal of a marriage with kids it's pretty damn accurate. But 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and Funny People were all funny. The mileage varies on rewatchability on all of them but in the theater for a comedy I enjoyed them all. I suspect I will like this one as well even if a small part of me will hate myself for it because Apatow and Schumer are such (wait for it) SJW cunts. Oh well.
Im psyched for it. I hope I like it, because I hated This Is 40 so much I was ready to burn the fucking theater down. 2015 has been solid as fuck movie wise, at least for me.
Other than that I adore Apatow & I love every movie he's ever done.

Holy shit, I think you might have absolutely nailed it.

it would really surprise me if it did anything other than follow the romantic comedy formula to a t, with just slightly more risque sex jokes.

"hilarious" actors like Paul Rudd and his wife?
He doesn't exactly have the Midas touch as a director anymore. "Knocked Up" was 8 years ago.

His movies stink.

You didnt like the last half of funny people? You know, the hour of no comedy or funny people

99% of movies that go directly to VOD are made cheaply. Sticking to a budget is not a formula, it's a contractual requirement.

Are there movies that don't follow a three act structure?

I wonder how Jimmy is gonna feel about this as he gets ready to make a comeback and reprise his role as Construction Worker #5 in Furry Vengeance 2.

I hope he doesn't even get that lucky

There isn't one, that movie bombed and they're not making a sequel.

Does it empower women and punch up? Because I don't want to see it if it punches down, I don't go for that type of humor.

No female nudity, only male nudity? Sounds like an Apatow movie to me.

Isn't jimmy in this? He isn't listed in the credits. Wow he is going nowhere fast.
8 FukinPeckas 2015-07-13
His scene was cut, and I'm gonna guess he would have had all of 30 seconds of screen time anyway.

Amy Schumer stinks, and I don't like her!
0 havingmadfun 2015-07-13
With how well he knows Amy, since she wrote the script, she couldn't include him in the movie more? Kind of fucked up.
3 Z-Tay 2015-07-13
It has a 5.9 on IMDB and on there movie usually start high and end up lower.
I think it's pretty safe to call it garbage, though everybody in this sub knew it would be anyways.
1 Phrunkis3 2015-07-13
That is surprising.
1 silks322 2015-07-13
I can't stand her. I'd still drop a steamy log on her chest though.
7 I_Hate_Knickers 2015-07-13
She'd probably gobble it up coz she's a fat piggy.
