According to them:
“Trainwreck” proved to be a tough act to follow. Her next leading role, last year’s “Snatched,” opened with $19 million. The comedy, written by Katie Dippold and directed by Jonathan Levine, earned a disappointing $45 million and some blistering reviews.
“I Feel Pretty” has also struggled critically, earning a 33% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, along with a 31% average audience score. It has inspired a number of hot takes for its somewhat muddled message of body acceptance. Schumer has since addressed criticism, saying the film was unfairly judged based on the trailer and not the movie’s theme of empowerment.
Regardless of performance, there is one thing her last two disappointing films have in common: Schumer didn’t write them. Given her background in stand-up, it’s no surprise she penned her most successful project to date. It’s fair to say her movies could benefit from Schumer having a stronger hand in the screenplay.
Sooo basically they think Amy Schumer movies are TANKING because there’s not ENOUGH Amy Schumer in them…
YEEEEAAAAHHHHH… I beg to differ.
And so does Twitter:
She could shut her mouth like all of Hollywood and maybe films wouldn’t tank. Liberal ideologies aren’t the only opinions that matter ffs. Maybe Americans are tired of the sh*tshow

Maybe because @amyschumer alienated 3/4 of her fans.. with Political
Rhetoric , That , BTW she knows nothing About— JackStraw (@NWOZOMBY) May 2, 2018
Could it maybe be that she’s really just not that great?

Yeah… she’s REEEALLY not.
Because she’s not funny?????
— Tyler (@AWildSwampert) April 25, 2018
Because they’re terribly written, acted, and directed. But that’s just a guess.

Common denominator is Amy. Really tough question.

So NO… it’s NOT because Amy Schumer movies need MORE Amy Schumer…
@Variety read the comments. That’ll give you a hint 👍

It’s because they need waaaay less Amy Schumer.
PS:
The first sentence of the article speaks volumes to your objectivity. No one is undeniably funny.

We really didn’t expect them to get this one right after that…
