If there is a lesson to be learned from Trainwreck, it's that you can't succeed if you never try. It's one of those platitudes often touted in sports, charmingly and appropriately repurposed here.

You forget how limited so many movies' ideas of women are until Schumer launches into an extended tampon joke. It's a film about everyday sexism and double standards.

What distinguishes Trainwreck from those that've come before is Schumer's loud, original, versatile voice.

Schumer's performance is a tour de force of razor-sharp comedic timing.

It's great. As is the closing hip-hop dance number. It's not close to groundbreaking as anything she's done on her show, but Trainwreck adds another dimension to an exciting performer.
