Confirming Schumer’s recent comments to [_Entertainment Weekly_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/02/amy-schumer-jennifer-lawrence-screenplay) that the script, in which the real-life friends play sisters, is “funny,” “dirty” and “real,” Lawrence told [Entertainment Tonight](http://www.etonline.com/news/175371%5Fjennifer%5Flawrence%5Freveals%5Fplot%5Fof%5Fher%5Fmovie%5Fwith%5Famy%5Fschumer/), “Yep! It’s all of those things.” The Oscar winner, who’s currently in Berlin promoting [_Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2_](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,MediaProductsTax:BookMockingJay,00.html), added that, “Amy, in this movie, she has it very together. It’s her lifelong dream to be a flight attendant. She works at the airport.” As for Lawrence, her character seems to have more in common with Schumer’s [_Trainwreck_](http://www.people.com/article/lebron-james-trainwreck-outtakes-video) alter ego. “I’m a MESS,” Lawrence jokes of her role. Schumer’s summer blockbuster actually convinced Lawrence that the two would be friends. “I watched _Trainwreck_ and I was like, ‘Yep, we’re made for each other,’ ” she says. “I reached out and everything just happened so quickly,” Lawrence continued. “We both have very similar senses of humor, obviously and aren’t afraid, which is a good and bad thing, because I don’t know what our movie will be rated. And we’re both very blunt. So we’ve gotten through a really strenuous process without ever fighting, because we’re both very straightforward.” Asked if their will be any room for her _Hunger Games_ costars, [Josh Hutcherson](http://www.people.com/people/josh%5Fhutcherson) and [Liam Hemsworth](http://www.people.com/people/liam%5Fhemsworth), Lawrence said, “No, no, no, no, no …There’s not really boys in it.” [_This originally appeared on People.com_](http://www.people.com/article/jennifer-lawrence-reveals-details-new-comedy-with-amy-schumer) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4101212/jennifer-lawrence-movie-amy-schumer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4101212/jennifer-lawrence-movie-amy-schumer/"},"headline":"Jennifer Lawrence Reveals Details About Her New Movie with Amy Schumer","datePublished":"2015-11-05T11:49:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:22:13.518Z","description":"Lawrence's character seems to have more in common with Schumer's Trainwreck alter ego","url":"https://time.com/4101212/jennifer-lawrence-movie-amy-schumer/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8c0d0851fe637877/69886fb9e20a87e381a8e0eb/jennifer-lawrence-schumer.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Michael Miller / People"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8c0d0851fe637877/69886fb9e20a87e381a8e0eb/jennifer-lawrence-schumer.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Jennifer-lawrence-schumer","caption":"ennifer Lawrence poses at \"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2\" Hand And Footprint Ceremony","creditText":"Gregg DeGuire—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4101212/jennifer-lawrence-movie-amy-schumer/","name":"Jennifer Lawrence Reveals Details About Her New Movie with Amy Schumer"}}]}] ```
