In the movie, Schumer's character, magazine journalist Amy,
finds herself falling in love with the subject of a profile
piece she is writing -- sports physician Aaron, played by Bill
Hader. Averse to monogamy, she learns about romance.
"I think this movie is kind of a love letter to my sister and
the way that I realized that I was hurting myself and being
destructive was through falling in love," Schumer said at the
film's premiere in New York on Tuesday night.
Academy Award winning British actress Tilda Swinton plays
Schumer's boss, Dianna.
Sports players are well represented in the movie. American
basketball stars LeBron James and Amar'e Stoudemire have roles
while former tennis pro Chris Evert and wrestler John Cena also
make appearances.
The film was directed by Judd Apatow, of "This is 40", "Knocked
Up" and "The 40-Year Old Virgin" fame, who said he enjoyed
guiding Schumer.
"I like the moment of discovery," Apatow said. "It's fun for me
to help them try to crack the code of how they would work as a
lead in a movie."
"Trainwreck" opens in U.S. cinemas on Friday.
