Ten years have passed since that Judd Apatow in his directorial debut the desperate and pathetic attempt at a 40-year-old man showed to finally lose his virginity. The successful comedy starring Steve Carell (“The 40 Year Old Virgin”) laid the foundation for Apatow’s career, both as a director, screenwriter and producer.
The American is responsible for such comedy hits like “Knocked Up” and “Bridesmaids”. In “Dating Queen” now the New York comedian Amy Schumer (34) is an attachment disordered reporter who hunts from a one-night stand to the next. This is the first major movie role of blond American. The screenplay for the film comes from Schumer itself, but the director comes from comedy master Apatow. Even Oscar-winner Tilda Swinton (“The Grand Budapest Hotel”) is one of the party
This is so out of it when one’s own father funneled in childhood, monogamy is a great mistake. Amy has the Council taken so much to heart that they now almost every night spent with another guy, and they studied it urgently to avoid even having breakfast with this yet. She takes during sex, what she wants; if the man here gets their money, you
is flatly matter. Amy Schumer as attachment disordered reporter
Her sister has taken a different path, with her husband and stepson and speedy pregnancy. Amy, who works at a hip and rather cynical lifestyle issue as editor, despises the barren life of her sister, and yet deep in her heart a little envious. That remembers the gruff Amy who offends with its kind anywhere, only really when she falls in love with a sports doctor (in a sympathetic way embodied by Bill Hader). The hedonistic life design of the protagonist is put to the test, never had Amy imagined to feel so much for one man.
With the wrong woman comedy “Bridesmaids” Apatow has (as a producer) In 2011 a Melissa McCarthy ( “Spy: Susan Cooper Undercover”) made to prevail. Whether this also Schumer will befall now, considered feminist comedienne, remains to be seen. A lasting, a very good impression but leaves them in every case with her first starring role in a feature film.
In general, the two, Schumer and Apatow are (he had encouraged to write the script for a film ) a pretty ideal pair for a comedy entitled. Schumers gags are tangy, sometimes wicked and often cryptic as you know the date of the Apatow comedies, sometimes the humor around several corners around is intended; here also Schumers Background as a stand-up comedian is noticeable. But it is never too complex, ensures Apatow mainstream compatible production.
There are in the United States no other director who understands it so well, humor and slapstick with a pinch of seriousness and sadness short circuit. The slightly early midlife crisis of a couple in “This Is 40″, the self-tormenting efforts of Singles in Apatow’s directorial debut. The films of the director and producers have long been not only to pleased to provide the audience for leg tapping
Judd Adaptow jumps not from gag to gag
In “Dating Queen” is also about Amy’s tragic family history, her tendency to drugs, the dead mother, to a nursing home Gammel ends in front of him, from multiple sclerosis sick father. When he dies, Amy keeps at his grave a speech on how she has not heard before in the cinema: highly cheeky (she calls her dad before the assembled mourners an “asshole”) and yet very moving. Here Schumer shows that she is capable of more and that the comedian now perhaps before there is also a cinema career.
This time again can Apatow time. 125 Minutes “Dating Queen” is longer than the standard one and a half hour comedy. The film however, benefited from the fact that Apatow is not a gag jumps to the next, but also minor characters space are: the homeless with the naughty mouth, the Amy several times in the film meets in front of her apartment, but also all the surprising guest appearances: Daniel Radcliffe and Marisa Tomei through to tennis icon Chris Evert. The more than whimsical canvas moments of Tilda Swinton, with wonderfully plated accent and painted in a terrible blue eyes, contribute to that “Dating Queen” protruding from the ground.
In the US, meanwhile, is ” Trainwreck, “as he says in the original, already started successfully. The cost of production of around 35 million US dollars, he should have already recorded a few days after launch. It is quite possible, then, that so refreshing cooperation between Apatow and Schumer eventually finds a continuation.
