I'm a huge Billy Wilder fan and to me, Trainwreck stands in the great tradition of Wilder comedies: Smart, funny, human. Here is a dialogue exchange in Trainwreck: AMY What’s wrong with you that you want to be with me? I’m a drinker. AARON I don’t care. AMY I’ve been with a lot of guys. AARON I don’t care. How many? AMY I don’t know. How many girls have you slept with? AARON I’ve slept with three women. AMY Me too. I have slept with three women too. AARON How many guys? AMY This year? Compare to the ending of Some Like It Hot: Jerry: Oh no you don't! Osgood, I'm gonna level with you. We can't get married at all. Osgood: Why not? Jerry: Well, in the first place, I'm not a natural blonde. Osgood: Doesn't matter. Jerry: I smoke! I smoke all the time! Osgood: I don't care. Jerry: Well, I have a terrible past. For three years now, I've been living with a saxophone player. Osgood: I forgive you. Jerry: [tragically] I can never have children! Osgood: We can adopt some. Jerry: But you don't understand, Osgood! Ohh... [Jerry finally gives up and pulls off his wig] Jerry: [normal voice] I'm a man! Osgood: [shrugs] Well, nobody's perfect! Great stuff. I think Wilder would have liked Trainwreck a lot.
