NFT: Amy Schumer to headline Sony’s live-action Barbie movie

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Schumer will play a misfit living in a land of perfect Barbies who comes to the real world where her being/looking different turns into an asset. The film is said by the trade to be, “a contemporary spin on beauty, feminism and identity” in the comedic-fantasy vein of Splash, Enchanted or Big.

So who's playing Perfect/Traditional Barbie?

Because you just know that at the end of this movie, she's going to walk up to Amy Schumer and be like "you're perfect just the way you are" or some shit.
Maybe it's a generational thing

but I don't find this woman funny at all, not even a fraction of a percent. Certainly not a gender thing, because there are funny women, she's just not one of them.

Dirty Barbie?

Barbie and Ken don't even have naughty bits. I wonder if Schumer knows that?

Confused. I mean we all know PC is running amok but I thought I missed the fat annoying Barbie launch. I've come to notice that many people whom complain incessantly about being judged solely on their looks are huge assholes. Hence coming up w an excuse why they are disliked.

I'm with you 100%. She is a one trick pony and that one trick wasn't funny to begin with. As for headlining a movie, how does that happen? She is a terrible actress on top of not being funny and being a pig.

Of course, taxes need to be saved unless it is my taxes then, "you must pay you fair share". Hypocrites abound in Hollywood or should we call them Limousine liberals? When is the next jet setter flying a private jet to Cannes going to tell me my carbon footprint is too high?

Lena Dunham?
Lena Dunham is another one I just don't get. She's a terrible actress, whiny, and not funny. Then there is her constant complaining that she shouldn't be judged by her looks, etc. yet feels the need to shove her gross naked body at us every chance she gets.

That show Girls is almost as annoying as real hipsters.
Lena Dunham is a

How Amy Schumer is a household name and (relatively speaking) no one knows Iliza Schlesinger or Nikki Glaser is beyond me.
well  
Route 9 : 12/3/2016 9:04 pm : link
because it's Amy is so "unflattering" and cool, most ugly lumpy girls can associate with her more. They all have egos because they know the average chump will wanna try and bone her. So there is her appeal.

was that commercial (forget for who, only saw it once)where she is supposed to box another woman but runs away. Painfully unfunny, left me wondering why I even know her name...
This shouldn't..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 12/5/2016 9:07 am : link
be a Barbie only movie. From what Schumer looks like, it should be a live-action flick -

"Cabbage Patch vs. Barbie. Massacre at Malibu"
Here's Kurt Schlicter's take:  
Post Time : 12/5/2016 9:20 am : link
(I won't post a link to the whole article since it is very political)

"Next up at bat is the hard-4 hedgehog that is anti-gun activist and alleged comedian Amy Schumer, another over-praised, over-hyped mediocrity who Tinseltown is trying to force down our throats like the fingers she clearly never forced down hers. These geniuses have now decided she must be the woman to play Barbie in the live action film of . . . Barbie. Let’s leave aside the fact that they consider it a good idea to make a live action film of Barbie, and focus on how they seem to think Amy Schumer is the right person to play Barbie. Chuck Schumer is sexier."
