I Feel Pretty (2018)

Amy Schumer's best movie to date is still a middling, unsophisticated and quite lazily written comedy but a likeable one with a strong moral compass about a woman who, as the result of a head injury (and, redundantly, a magic wish, a serious mental illness, and a charismatic spin instructor) starts believing herself to be drop-dead gorgeous.

Snatched (2017)

A really funny opening scene in a clothes store showcases Amy Schumer's exceptional talent in sending up self-obsessed urban American Gen-Yers - and then the rest of the film transports this talent to the jungles of Ecuador where Schumer's character Emily and Emily's mum (Goldie Hawn) go on the run from kidnappers in a story that passes in so mindless, so mundane and so unfunny a fashion, the movie ends with you realising you have been looking at it but not watching.

Trainwreck (2015)

Sports-loving Americans might like this but as a mere Amy Schumer fan, not American nor very sporty, I was disappointed with what I thought was a very lazy Judd Apatow comedy, didn't understand a number of jokes about NY, thought the finale was unwarranted, and that odd "sports/relationship" commentary scene with Matthew Broderick and a handful of other randoms was absolutely mystifying.
