3/10
Disappointing
27 July 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this movie last night with my girlfriend and we were expecting a romantic comedy but what we saw did not have much romance or comedy.

This movie is about an unappealing and dull surgeon that (for some reason that I never understood) fell in "love" with a completely unappealing, dull, dumb free-spirited woman that doesn't seemed to have absolutely nothing in common with.

That's the main problem with this movie. Amy Schumer's character is completely unlikeable the whole movie and I keep trying to figure out what the men that went out with her saw in her!! There was absolutely nothing attractive, cute, charming, spunky and/or wise about her personality. To make things worse she is not physically attractive. I know her character is supposed to be unlikeable, but dammit not the whole movie!!

The second problem with the movie is fails as a romantic one. I did not feel anything for the characters. They did not have anything in common and I am still trying figuring out how the hell they clicked. For this I blame the script. The are not enough situations in the movie showing how their connection grow. They had nothing in common!! They just had dinner and sex and they love each other. Did I mention that there was absolutely nothing attractive, cute, charming, spunky and/or wise about Amy's personality and to make things worse she is not physically attractive. When the doctor told Amy "I love you" I rolled up my eyes in disbelief.

The movie is also way too long and in many parts slow and boring. We laugh about four times during the whole movie. Many people left the cinema half way through.

I did enjoy Tilda Swinton's Dianna.

While watching this movie I kept thinking about "When Harry met Sally" a far superior film.
