Trainwreck (2015) directed by Judd Apatow and written by comedian, Amy Schumer, was anything but a trainwreck.  Not your typical sappy romantic  comedy, Trainwreck is one part raunchy jokes, one part sentimentality, and one part social commentary.  Schumer plays a single, thirty-something reporter who has been conditioned to believe that monogamy was unrealistic.  She unabashedly delivers sexually charged one liners with expert comedic timing and participates in multiple casual sexual exploits; an act usually reserved for male characters.  In opposition to the typical constructs of the rom-com genre, Bill Hader plays Schumer's quirky and completely committed love interest Dr. Aaron Carter.  Their relationship is endearing and completely relatable. 

Despite incorporating traditional elements found in romantic comedies like a heart-warming and implausible ending, a parade of superstar athlete and celebrity cameos, and a few profound soul searching moments, Trainwreck makes a substantive statement about gender roles and sexual free agency in the modern relationship.  The film also exposes the complexity of family relationships and how they impact the characters in adulthood.  The plentiful awkward sexual encounters and raunchy jokes add necessary moments of brevity and balance to the film.  Overall, the film is entertaining and slyly subversive.
