Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes:
"Trainwreck ... has some very traditional romantic comedy elements, including a big, implausible finish. But even if you know where you're going to wind up, it takes interesting side trips along the way," wrote Linda Holmes from NPR.
"It's a familiar rom-com dynamic, but the reversal of traditional on-screen gender roles-combined with Schumer and Hader's easy chemistry-makes "Trainwreck" feel new and fresh," wrote Christy Lemire from RogerEbert.Com.
"There's a funny movie in Trainwreck, but you may have to sift through a lot of debris to find it," wrote Liam Lacey from Globe and Mail.
"The absolute best thing about this film, aside from Schumer's strong, smart voice, is the promise of more to come. This lady's just getting started," wrote Tom Long from Detroit News.
"People who go into Trainwreck looking for that Amy --the subversive truth-teller, the feminist role model -- are likely to be disappointed. Their loss. Trainwreck is a surprisingly old-fashioned romantic comedy, the kind that rarely gets made anymore," wrote Esther Breger from The New Republic.
"Often extremely funny, even if it never approaches the radicalness of [Schumer's] greatest, most dangerous work," wrote Manohla Dargis from New York Times.
"Trainwreck" serves as confirmation that a star is born, a seemingly average woman whose above-average superpowers include reminding us of our own. Where she goes from here should be fascinating to watch," wrote Ty Burr from Boston Globe.
