Trainwreck
Jul. 24th, 2015 08:56 amSo my GF and I were trying to figure out what the deal was with John Cena's character. By far the best scene is when he and Amy Schumer are sitting in a theater watching the fictional black-and-white indie movie The Dog Walker* and he gets in a fight with Keith Robinson.
Cena tells Robinson that they should take the fight outside, and that he'll know where to find him because he'll be the closest guy on Grindr. This would mean he's canonically gay, but then he breaks up with Schumer because he considers monogamy to be really important, so why would he still have an account on a hookup site if he actually knew what it was?
Is the joke supposed to be that he's gay and he doesn't know it, and that the world of professional wrestling and bodybuilding is not-so-secretly covered in rainbows and sparkles? Or are we supposed to come away with the understanding that Cena's character is actually really interesting and nuanced but Schumer's character is too much of a hot mess to notice?
Honestly though, the most unrealistic thing in this batshit crazy movie is that the doctor played by Bill Hader is being interviewed for the first time by Amy Schumer and hasn't already been on every NPR podcast at least twice.
* best Daniel Radcliffe role ever, he should do this for the rest of his career, I'm not even joking
