There, she meets new friends and reconnects with old acquaintances, has flashbacks to her formative younger years (young Beth is played by Violet Young), and meets new crush John (Michael Cera), a groundskeeper at a Long Island vineyard.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a woman who\u2019s feeling lost and just going through the motions in life, Beth is a far cry from the bold persona that Schumer became famous for (both in her stand-up and in her 2015\u00a0blockbuster, \u201cTrainwreck\u201d). It\u2019s not a bad thing, but viewers who are expecting her usual schtick won\u2019t get that, here. She\u2019s got some witty one-liners but she\u2019s mostly a reactive character. The show\u2019s humor comes more from minor side characters, such as Hank Azaria as a funeral home director who is borderline delirious because he\u2019s trying out \u201cintermittent fasting,\u201d or her clueless co-workers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/BETH_MP_104_00286RT.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Michael Cera and Amy Schumer in a kitchen. \" class=\"wp-image-21500958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/BETH_MP_104_00286RT.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/BETH_MP_104_00286RT.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/BETH_MP_104_00286RT.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/BETH_MP_104_00286RT.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>John (Michael Cera) and Beth (Amy Schumer) on \u201cLife &amp; Beth.\u201d<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Marcus Price<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Although \u201cLife &amp; Beth\u201d has amusing moments, it\u2019s more moody and introspective than laugh out loud funny. It\u2019s peppered with borderline surreal sequences \u2013 for instance, when she gets bored in the middle of a conversation, jazz music starts playing over the people that she\u2019s talking to, tuning them out, while the shot zooms in on Beth\u2019s wide eyes. Intermittent flashbacks to her childhood add to the show\u2019s more cerebral feeling, anchoring it in Beth\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n<p>The show tries to be too many things at once \u2013 skipping its focus around from her job to her love life to her family to her memories of her youth \u2013 and because it often abruptly shifts in tone from melancholy to wacky, not all of them land.<\/p>\n<p>The end result feels uneven, but not unpleasant or poorly done. It\u2019s got some unexpected moments of poignancy, particularly when it explores her complicated relationship with her dad (Michael Rapaport).\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/BETH_JP_106_00566RT.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Amy Schumer and Michael Cera. \" class=\"wp-image-21501012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/BETH_JP_106_00566RT.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/BETH_JP_106_00566RT.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/BETH_JP_106_00566RT.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/BETH_JP_106_00566RT.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Beth (Amy Schumer) and John (Michael Cera) in \u201cLife &amp; Beth.\u201d <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Jeong Park<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s a solid dramedy in the category of \u201c30 something woman re-thinks her life,\u201d even if it isn\u2019t as brilliant as some other entries in that genre (such as \u201cFleabag\u201d).
