Turned it off after 20 minutes


I was so bored, I didn't even watch the entire movie. I turned it off within 20 minutes. It was a comedy and I didn't laugh once so I didn't want to waste my time watching it. The promo commercials made it look like a cute movie I didn't expect what I saw.

You missed a terrific little movie. Everyone has their own taste, you may not have liked the rest but I sure did.

just of the start Amy was so unlikable I didn't see a reason how anyone would care if something dramatic or whatever would happen as in most movies this type, not seen the movie to end! but by the first half John Cena and Lebron were the only good thing in the movie and that is not great point for female lead comedy!

EXTREMELY unlikable for the first 1:45....that's what made it so great when she finally became likable at the end.
Such a nice, believable turnaround for her when she matured.

I watched the whole thing. I expected it to be a lot funnier than it was. I actually like Amy Schumer somewhat, but, other than what I'd already seen in the promos, I didn't find much of it entertaining.

Dreadful.

You saved yourself some time by turning it off.

Tried to watch it last night - I was in the perfect mood where even a bad film, I think I could have just enjoyed regardless.. but this, oh my god. I've turned off maybe 3 or 4 films in my life. I think I made it a little past your 20 minutes. I actually walked away and the let the television just play away to itself while I made some hot chocolate or something.. came back, watched some more - dreadful DREADFUL dialogue about wanting to have loads of kids, teaching them a new crossfit method (boring dialogue anyone.. anyone?) which devolved into that patented awkward pater which only the British seem to e able to get right (e.d. Original Office Series / Fawlty Rowers et al) etc.

as for this.. PAINFUL. Who is Amy Shumer anyway? Being in the UK, I really don't know her from anything. She was given a shot - I could have written a better script ay time.. I wish someone would give me a shot, hire me for cheap to write a script and you can buy it if you like it.

Yeah it was definitely boring but what made me turn it off was the scene where she attempted to have sex with a 16 year old. I know that she didn't know at the time but it was still so disturbing especially the way it was brushed under the rug afterwards. I know it was meant to be a comedy movie but I couldn't finish after that.
