''Trainwreck'' was a critical and financial success, grossing $140.8 million worldwide on a budget of $35 million, and it earned two Golden Globe nominations: Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, and Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for Schumer's performance.

----
!! ''Trainwreck'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: Kim --probably in her mid-late twenties-- is the step-mother of a young preteen through marriage. [[spoiler:She eventually becomes pregnant with Tom's child]].
* AdamWesting: [=LeBron=] James plays a heightened version of himself here.
* AllWomenAreDomsAllMenAreSubs: [[spoiler:Turns out Donald wants a dominant sexual partner, which weirds out Amy]].
* AlphaBitch: Dianna isn't a very nice person, even finding it ridiculous that Amy [[spoiler:is still mourning her father's death]] days after the fact.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Steven says quite a few questionable things regarding his sexuality, like making intentionally gay threats to a disgruntled filmgoer and describing Amy as if she were a man during sex.
* BestFriend: Nikki to Amy.
* BlackBestFriend: [=LeBron=] to Aaron.
* ButtMonkey: How Deanna treats Nikki.
* TheCameo: Creator/DanielRadcliffe and Creator/MarisaTomei ([[AsHimself as themselves]] playing characters) in ''[[FilmWithinAFilm The Dogwalker]]'', while Creator/MatthewBroderick, Amar'e Stoudemire, Tony Romo, and Marv Albert appear as themselves.
* DeadpanSnarker: Amy, which she gets from her father.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Amy and Kim's mother dies before the movie happens, and she's [[NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead never spoken ill-of]] by either.
* DisposableIntern: Donald's job at the magazine is pretty thankless.
* TheFashionista: Deanna is ''very'' obsessed with her appearance.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: An inversion -- older child Amy is the foolish one, while younger child Kim is the responsible one.
* GiveGeeksAChance: Aaron isn't Amy's [[HasAType usual type]] ({{dumb muscle}} airheads) but she falls for him nonetheless.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Amy and Kim mostly get along, but they still often clash on certain things, like which retirement home to set up their father at.
* HappilyMarried: Kim and Tom, in contrast to hers and Amy's parents.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Amy, as you could probably tell from the above image.
* HasAType: Before Aaron comes along, all of Amy's dates are {{dumb muscle}} airheads.
* HeyItsThatGuy: In addition to {{the cameo}}s listed above, ''Trainwreck'' boasts appearances by [[Film/Ghostbusters2016 Leslie Jones]], [[Series/SaturdayNightLive Pete Davidson]], [[Series/FreshOffTheBoat Randall Park]], [[Series/{{Delocated}} John Glaser]], [[Series/SaturdayNightLive Tim Meadows]], [[Music/WuTangClan Method Man]], and [[Series/InsomniacWithDaveAttell Dave Attell]] in minor roles.
* HopelessSuitor: Steven is into Amy more than she's into him, which is ultimately what ends their relationship.
* TheILoveYouStigma: Amy may as well be ''actually phobic'' to the word "love."
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Alistair, and to a lesser extent, Tom.
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Kim and Amy, respectively.
* MissingMom: Amy and Kim's mother is [[TheGhost never seen]].
* NiceGuy: Aaron and Steven are both perfectly decent guys.
* OldFashionedRowboatDate: Played with; one of Amy and Aaron's dates involves remote-controled miniature speedboating.
* PosthumousCharacter: Amy and Kim's mother has already been long-dead by the start of this movie.
* RedOniBlueOni: Amy and Kim, respectively.
* RomComJob: Amy writes for a men's interest magazine, and Aaron is a sports doctor.
* RomanticComedy: ''Trainwreck'' follows all the beats of one, but with subverted tropes and ''lots'' of raunchy humor.
* TheMeanBrit: Deanna.
* TroubledSympatheticBigot: Gordon is politically incorrect as they come, but he's an ailing older man who loves his daughters.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: All things considered, Amy is kind of an asshole, and she comes to realize this toward the end.
* VagueAge: [[spoiler:Amy is shocked to learn that, mid-sexual encounter, Donald is ''seventeen'']].
