Brilliant and touching

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Blistering performances.

Very boring movie, story is missing some spice. Nothing special, not even to pass the time

Watching Funny People with an attitude blows. It's literally an awesome movie. It's not that super funny, but it is really good and really funny. Its got a lot to offer, a lot of stars. a lot of funny from a lot of funny people, and a lot of heart and a lot of dick talk. Adam Sandler acts as George Simmons who's basically a lot like Adam. George Simmons is a dumb name for a star. It's the George part. Schwartzman's funny and cool. Aubrey Plaza is so freaking hot. Totally forgot this was the first movie I seen her in. The stand up is kind of the best part of Funny People. Aubrey Plaza is so freaking funny. Totally forgot this was this first movie I seen her in. Haha Jonah Hill is hilarious. Aubrey Plaza is so freaking stupid like what is she doing right now? Sandler's outstanding. He seems really bummed. Whatever. Aubrey Plaza makes me happy. Leslie Mann has cute kids. Adam thinks he can really act. I do too. Paul Reiser's touching. This movie was originally called Funny White People until they got RZA from the Wu Tang Clan. Love Norm MacDonald and his talk show is excellent. Dave Attell rules and his old late night comedy central show used to be good. Sarah Silverman is hot and I want to bang her, regardless. The guy from Die Hard is sweet. Wassup, Slim. I love you man. Eminem is my favorite male musician way ahead of James Taylor. F James Taylor. F Ray Romano. Haha Eminem. Marshall is just as funny as the Sandman. Eminem is the greatest rapper of all time. Funny People starts to get boring about an hour and a half in. I'm gonna rewind it and rewatch all the Miss Plaza parts. Adam doing his prank calls is the best. There's Justin Long again. Love Seth Rogen. He's a good dude. Aubrey is so freaking sexy, God, I'm super in to Aubrey. She can do me anytime. Aziz is hilarious. Eric Bana's super solid and super funny. Having cancer isn't too fun let me tell ya.

The biggest waste of 2 1/2 hrs of my life. I honestly got cancer and wished I died by the time it ended! Anticlimactic and worse than the first time I tried to have sex.

Funny People (2009): Dir: Judd Apatow / Cast: Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann, Eric Bana, Jonah Hill: Drama comedy about serious undertones. Adam Sandler plays comedian George Simmons who learns that an illness has infected him and he has very little time to live. Lonely, he recruits a struggling standup comedian to tour with him before tracking down a past love. Directed by Judd Apatow with hard hitting screenplay with amusing moments. Apatow has done great work in comedies such as The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up, and here again he scores with a comedy with deep undertones. Sandler is at his best as a veteran comedian who remains outside the social circles save for the stage. Potential death drives him to address his regrets and discover the value of friendship. Seth Rogen as his recruit pulls off the role of a bad comedian who hooks up with his idol only to learn that his idol is a flawed being. Leslie Mann plays Simmons' past lover who will hook up with him only to come to realize what is right. Eric Bana plays her Australian husband who is a fan of Simmons until he learns of the flirtations. Since he has been unfaithful Mann has him face his lifestyle. Jonah Hill and Jason Schwartzman play Rogen's pals who steal their moments. Strong message regarding our short time and how we need to learn to laugh off our transgressions. Score: 10 / 10
