Funny People

It has people but it just isn't funny at all.

I've always thought of Sandler as one of The U.S 's more juvenile comedians. But lately I've begun to think of him as quite a good actor. He doesn't disappoint in the acting stakes here. Unfortunately, Apatow's script is full of tiresome dick jokes and frankly this is not a very funny film. Leslie Mann thinks she's Madeline Kahn (she isnt). Seth Rogen is a gormless sap, Schwartzman is charmless, and only Jonah Hill hits it right.

Despite the name of the movie, it lacks a lot of comedy, but Rogan played his character pretty well. Movie divulges from the main plot towards the end and its super redundant .

Filme legalzinho, o roteiro é bacana, o filme tem algumas cenas engraçadas e outras não, e a história do filme é bacana, achei legal e meio diferente a dupla de adam Sandler e seth rogen, o filme também mostra como é os comediantes de stand-up que ficou legal no filme, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme.

A very meta and self-aware reflection on Adam Sanders career and the inner workings of the Hollywood comedy scene. Adam Sandler plays against type very well as the genuinely grounded and bitter alternate version of himself, washed up and fed up with his recent flops. Which makes him the perfect foil for Seth Rogen's character, who's in the early stage of the cycle. He's more eager, naive, and is usually just winging it as he goes along. But he seems to genuinely warm up Adam Sandler's character, and their unusual friendship really carries the movie. There are also a plethora of great cameos, including Jonah Hill, Aubrey Plaza, James Taylor, Jason Schwartzman, Norm MacDonald, Sarah Silverman, and Ray Romano. Just like the title, the movie is pretty funny with its satire on Hollywood and fame. The story drags on a bit with the messy love affair subplot, but thankfully it doesn't eat up too much runtime and isn't too bad overall. This is easily one of Adam Sandler's best performances and one of my personal favorites of his movie lineup.

Definitely recommend it.

Prob one of Jude Apatows best movie & best comedies of all time

It's the oddest thing when a really good movie is made, and then, they just forget to end it, so the actors stay on the screen and keep going. Really, this is what happened with this movie. A really good, interesting plot, with Adam Sandler basically playing himself, and a supporting cast of everyone who was funny at the time. A touching story, and you really care about everyone, and then, the plot is resolved and then... The movie just keeps going. So weird. If you just stop watching it at the 90 minute mark, you're good.

A different take on the usual Adam Sandler movie. Still kicks ass

When Sympathy Turns to Confusion It's hard to fathom Judd Apatow's intentions. Is this meant to be a serious comedy? Adam Sandler takes center stage in this bewildering endeavor. He delivers his best performance yet, but the character he portrays is, to be honest, quite unpleasant. This individual has achieved fame and fortune, yet lacks any depth of character. He is a lazy, ignorant, foolish, self-pitying, spoiled, uneducated, and dim-witted individual, and the list goes on. What's strange is that the story is structured in a way that suggests we should sympathize with him, even relate to his situation. At the start of the film, he is told he has a fatal disease, but miraculously he recovers, and then we are subjected to another hour of the movie where new characters are introduced. I wanted to flee the theater and scream. There are a few humorous moments, and Jason Schwartzman and Eric Bana deliver strong performances. However, could someone please explain to me, what on earth was this?
