Trainwreck: My Life as an Idiot

People should know, Movie was based off 2007 pithy/ cleaver but ultimately weak memoir Train Wreck, ( on Amazon reviewed by kirkus ect) writen by me Jeff Nichols,published by Simon and Shuster a top five publisher. The only reviewer that recognizes this it Variety cuz their prose. There a lot of funny stuff in memoir ( read free sample) , despite weak narrative; basically I over came very little to achieve nothing. Esp compared to... say Ray Charles who was blind, broke and black in the deep south in 1950, only to become a beloved national.icon. This was not me, for sure Movie left out special ED bording schools, that take up 30 percent of book, prepubescent gay sex; and massive drug abuse. The amount of drugs I did would have created problems in work force and obsticals to the establishment. As the film stands now, Jeff's obsticals are unknown ( not shown) so audience can't get behind protagonist and route for him. Just s bunch of sad scenes, burning the house down is a funny ass story, they made it essentially sad. The LA fires were Sad toput things into perspective, George burning down a country house was done on Seinfeld for christ sake. Executive director had a morbid streak that tempered movies ability to help others through humor. I'm a funny, mfler Google Jeff nichols comedian. I was Not the best stand up, but youl get the idea , and see the major miss. Formula: Bad book makes bad movie.

This is not at all funny. Expected it to be ok from seeing some of his other films.

Also don't really appreciate seeing dying fish in a movie.....

Terrific tongue in cheek kinda humor. If you know Seann William Scott you know what you are gonna get. If not, simply expect timid and tragic and shameful silliness. Lots of it...

The story: This dude really hates himself. He is a total looser. No house. No job. No girlfriend. Nothing. He only has got his mommy to ask for money. BUT out of the blue, suddenly a beautiful blonde falls in love with him. DO DREAMS DO COME TRUE AFTER ALL? Nope. Everything fails. EVERYTHING.

THE GOOD; this looser dude has got the undeniable urge though to constantly talk about all of his misery and shortcomings in Alcoholic Self Help groups. The things that went wrong in his life, are so bizar, so miserable, yet simultaneously so funny that I actually enjoyed listening to it for 90 minutes.

Charming, endearing, and a bit sad. NOT laugh out loud funny all the time, but best suited for those who like this kind of tragic comedy silliness...Definitely an unknown little comedy gem.

When I first saw this movie on IMDb I taught that it is surely going to be a shallow comic-drama with a nice faced actor. It started in that way too. But when I first saw the way the movie was going I started to feel sorry for Jeff. It does get boring from time to time (that's one minus star) and as much you feel sorry for the guy he starts to annoy you (another one). The plot seems quite unique and it also is a very hard theme for a movie so the director and the writing staff did a very good job. On the other side it could be done better.

The final verdict is very positive. I must say that I have never seen Seann Williiam Scott in a similar role and he has proved that he is a very good actor he is definitely one of the pros of this movie. This movie gives you something to think about. I strongly recommend you watch it!

I have to be honest, I really wasn't expecting much out of this film, I mean, Stiffler in a serious role? but wow was I pleasantly surprised, pleased as punch I would almost say. A truly heartfelt film, you get the sense the writer/director genuinely felt for his subject, which from what I have read about this film is really based on a true story which makes it even more funny in my opinion. The stuff in this movie is so funny it could not have been made up! Really well done with the writing and directing and I think it was the writer/directors debut film? which to me is even more impressive. Some of the scenes had me rolling on the floor with laughter, all in all well worth seeing, great, original and heartfelt, I really look forward to seeing more from this writer/director and I heard a rumor he plays the banjo!
