A John Cena and Amy Schumer comedy that features an X-Rated scene that saw Schumer say that the WWE star was ‘inside her’ has been added to Netflix.
Schumer and Cena star in the film alongside Bill Hader and, bizarrely, Lebron James, in one of the most critically successful films of Schumer’s career.
With the 1st of May marking a flurry of new additions to the platform, US Netflix will be rejoicing to watch the bizarre comedy, leaving UK Netflix fans left out (though that isn’t to say they can’t also stream the film online).

It made headlines for Schumer’s quotes about her sex scene with Cena, but was met with a surprisingly overwhelmingly positive response from fans and critics alike.
The film, called Trainwreck, follows Schumer as a woman called Amy who believes that there is no value in relationships until she meets Dr. Aaron, played by fellow SNL alumnus Bill Hader.
She’s in a relationship with Cena’s fitness fanatic Steven, leading to a deeply awkward sex scene between them.

She joked in an interview with Australian press that his modesty was just about protected, leading her to say: “Because he was actually inside me. Who am I to stop him.
“It’s a whole universe, that butt… it’s not even human. It felt like having a refrigerator on top of me.
“I think it was probably harder for him. He had to, like, do something. I just did what I usually do when I have sex. Just lay there.
“You know what? I didn’t get to feel his balls. It’s a major regret of mine. Major regret.”

Cena himself admitted that it was a very awkward time filming the scene, saying that he didn’t even tell his fiancée at the time, fellow WWE wrestler Nikki Bella, until after he accepted the role.
What critics said about it
The film received a score of 82% on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, with a fan score of 66%.
Ian Nathan of Empire Magazine said in his four star review: “At times it feels as if five different films are going on at once, but Schumer's whip-smart delivery and no-holds perkiness keeps it all in place.”

This was a sentiment echoed by Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune: “Schumer and Hader are wonderful together.
“Gender inequity in the world of comedy deserves all the overdue attention it's getting, and more.
“But there are matters of craft, wit (no matter how crude the jokes) and timing that transcend chromosomes.”
