1. Girls have every right to play the field
Ah, the age old tradition of men being studs for hooking up with a lot of girls (hot or not), and girls being called slutty for doing the same. Well, Amy giving zero you-know-whats about what people think of her in this flick as she spends her nights out with a hot man du jour is totally refreshing. Us single ladies would love to be able to get past the slut shaming and do the same, but if we're being honest it's really more of a lack of opportunity, not effort, preventing us from playing the field.
2. Ain't nothing wrong with a very obvious walk of shame
As you can see in the trailer, and in real life, the homeless men on the corner or your doorman that judges you when you come in the next morning in your sequined skirt are really just jealous of your wild night. Did we just come back from church? No. However we did crush the dance floor last night so feeling pretty damn good this morning, thanks for asking.
3. We know we like a guy when we'll lie to them to seem cool
When Amy's love interest asks her if she knows anything about sports and she says of course, and then proceeds to say her favourite team is the "Orlando Blooms," THAT is when you know you like a guy. Being yourself is easy, but when you really like a guy you want to put your best foot forward...even if that means pretending to be somebody you're not. When the desire to do this wears off, that's what we call the end of the honeymoon phase.
4. Women dress their men so nobody else wants to hook up with them
So we may not be able to put it as delicately as Amy when she describes the totally wifed-up/Dad outfits men wear once they move to suburbia: "Does he teach computer in a church basement? Oh, you dress him up like like that so nobody else wants to have sex with him? That's cool." But she hit the nail right on the head. Be proud of your hubby and his ability to look amazing in something that is not a sweater vest, pleated pants or New Balance sneakers with mom jeans. You either trust him or you don't wifeys!
5. Boxed wine in movie theaters is a must
It may not say BYOB on Fandango, but we know better. So does Amy Schumer. Don't forget the straw.
6. John Cena looks EXACTLY like Mark Wahlberg ate Mark Wahlberg
I have been trying to pinpoint exactly what John Cena looks like for years. In addition to looking like a G.I. Joe come-to-life experiment gone wrong, he also looks exactly like Mark Wahlberg ate Mark Wahlberg.
7. Intimacy and relationships are actually terrifying
Sure girls go around whining when they are single about how they are just dying to fall in love and have an amazing boyfriend, but when it actually comes time to lay your heart on the line and open up to a dude, it's actually extremely scary and it feels way easier to just put up a guard and keep things casual. Does that mean we want to have our whiny cake and eat it too? Absolutely.
8. It's about time Lebron James began his acting career
The King a.k.a. Lebron James has finally made the jump from sports legend/brand spokesperson to actor and it's about time he did. Given his short cameos in the trailer it actually looks like he is going to do a pretty decent job. I may not remember who he plays for anymore after all of his flip-flopping, but I know for a fact it's not the Orlando Blooms.
9. Nobody actually calls the day after they hook up with somebody
When Amy gets a call from her newest hook the morning after they just did it for the first time, she freaks out and said it's probably a butt dial, or as her friend correctly points out he is probably sick... and that she should probably call the police. She then does the only thing that you can do in a situation like that: hang up on the nice guy that is trying to give you a follow up call. The struggle is real.
10. The only reason you would drink less is if you're on antibiotics
When Amy's friend asks her why she spent the night and she asked if she was blackout, Amy said she only had two drinks, maybe three, okay four now that she thinks about it. Her friend's concern for her low drinking level and deciding to spend the night at a man's could of course only be explained by her being on antibiotics. We all know this.
11. Your parents views on relationships definitely affect your outlook
Amy grows up with a dad who drilled into her head "monogamy is not realistic" and unfortunately what our parents say about relationships matters. We spend 18 years at home with their words and ideals filling our ears so when we're older it's hard to shake their outlooks on life. This is why therapy is a multi-billion dollar business.

This feminist flick comes out July 17th and we could not be more pumped. Amy, thanks for telling the truth when we couldn't.
