It's a half hour standard Schumer TV show, with the typically dirty, slutty sex "humor," stretched it into a two hour marathon where 90 percent of the jokes are leftover stand up material, and the only saving grace are the performances of washed up Saturday Night Live actors. (Colin Quinn saved the damned movie).
I winced at Schumer looking at a picture of her dead mother and commenting about how F-able she was when alive. The rest was only marginally less greasy.
I mildly chuckled twice at a few Colin Quinn lines. The ending was painfully cliched.
I felt like I needed a shower half way through this film. I would suspect those who liked it felt like they needed to like it to be somehow hip and cool.
