Reviews

Amy Schumer: The Leather Special received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On Rotten Tomatoes, the special holds a 50% approval rating, suggesting an evenly split reception. IMDb users rated it notably lower, with an average score of 3.2/10, indicating some disappointment or divided opinion among viewers. Critics praised Schumer's unapologetic and bold comedic style, with some noting that her fearless tackling of controversial topics remains engaging and provocative. However, others felt that the jokes occasionally lacked the sharpness and cohesiveness found in her earlier work, pointing to uneven pacing and humor that didn't always connect. Reviews from outlets like The Guardian and Variety recognized Schumer's natural charisma and unfiltered approach but remarked that the leather theme and stylistic choices sometimes overshadowed the content. Overall, while the special appeals strongly to die-hard fans of Schumer's brand of comedy, more casual viewers or new audiences might find it less accessible or resonant.
