Fantastic movie - Apatow does it again

I love Judd Apatow's movies with all my heart. They're extremely funny, very real to life, and just plain enjoyable. They always contain something that anyone can relate to. Funny People is no exception. It's definitely no 40 Year Old Virgin or Knocked Up as far as crude humor or constant hilarity goes, but in a movie sense, it's almost better than the 2 previously stated. It's both a drama and a comedy, because it deals with Adam Sandler coping with the sudden knowledge that he has a rare type of cancer, and the friendship he gradually gains with Seth Rogen along the way. A majority of the comedy comes from all of the main characters (Sandler, Rogen, and Hill) portraying stand-up comedians. And what else would you expect from Judd Apatow, Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, and Jonah Hill except a pretty funny movie? A lot of bad reviews for this movie are coming from people thinking it's going to be your normal crude Apatow picture, and it's not. Go into knowing that it's basically a drama, with a truckload of funny lines and interactions thrown in. As always Apatow's wife Leslie Mann is in it along with his 2 daughters, Iris and Maude. It's also fairly long clocking in at about 2 1/2 hours and sometimes seems like it drags on a bit, but it's nothing to worry about. To conclude my review, if you're a fan of any of Judd Apatow's previous movies, or if you like watching a good comedy/drama, then you must check out Funny People. Extremely enjoyable, realistic, and just a fantastic movie all around. 9/10.Read full review...

Funny and Thought Provoking movie

Anyone who has seen Judd Apatow's two previous movies (40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up) would go into this movie expecting it to be funny and sorrowful at the same time.
And with a cast including Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann, Jonah Hill, Eric Bana, Jason Schwartzman, Aubrey Plaza, Aziz Ansari, Iris Apatow, Maude Apatow, and Seth Rogen you know this movie is going to be funny and it does not disappoint.

Sandler is outstanding in this movie as he plays a comedian who finds out he has a rare type of cancer. His friendship with Rogen grows after that and the movie takes off from there.

This movie is very thought provoking and at times very funny.

If your looking for a good movie that warms the heart and makes you laugh at the same time, this is it.Read full review...

Funny People (Blu-Ray)

Love this flick! It's exactly what you would want from a Judd Apatow film. Seth Rogen is hilarious as always. Adam Sandler portrays the preferable of his 2 signature characters (un-obnoxious versus obnoxious). The entire cast does a great job. If you haven't seen this be sure to check it out!Read full review...
