Pros: Lots of jokes, behind the scenes insight Cons: Story is a little long and unfocused
It’s hard to name a greater presence in comedy over the last decade than Judd Apatow. As writer, producer and director his name has been attached to many projects and he’s been so prolific that he’s even spawned an alumni (Rogen, Segel, ...
Pros: Sandler, Rogan, Apatow's writing and direction and the entire cast Cons: Nothing
I'm really surprised that this is apparently the first review of "Funny People" on Epinions. After all, Judd Apatow has directed, written, and produced some of the biggest box office films over the last few years including "Knocked Up", "The 40 ...
Pros: Funny and insightful, with good performances from Rogen, Sandler, Mann, and others Cons: This movie is long - and sometimes feels that way
For years, George Simmons has been the clown prince of the stand-up circuit and the silver screen. Movies that appeal to the least common denominator, such as "Re-Do" and "Merman," have struck box office gold, and have producers clamoring for sequels. ...
Pros: Sandler gives an Oscar worthy performance, very funny goings on Cons: Doesn't quite hold the multiple plots together well
Throughout Judd Apatow's latest dude comedy, Funny People, Adam Sandler's superstar comedian George Simmons will reference his penis, that of his assistant Ira (Seth Rogen), and any number of other stand-ups and jokers who get in the way. ...
Funny People almost rounds out the summer movies I was really looking forward to with Inglourious Basterds and Halloween II being the last of ‘em. I am a really big fan of Judd Apatow-I think that he's hit the comedic vein that ...
Pros: Great performances all around, especially (gasp!) by Adam Sandler. Cons: A bit too indulgent with its length.
FUNNY PEOPLE is no 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN or KNOCKED UP. The key thing to know about that: it isn’t trying to be. Some have called FUNNY PEOPLE a failure because it fails to live up to the sheer comedic bliss those two movies ...
Pros: Good performances Cons: The length REALLY kills it
I've been a fan of Judd Apatow dating back to when he wrote The Cable Guy, a dark comedy that failed to generate the kind of expected box office bonanza that Jim Carrey movies generated at the time. Apatow later went onto producing two excellent TV ...
Pros: Moving, brilliant attention to detail in a story that was expertly directed by Apatow. Cons: Not that funny, and often just plain weird.
Funny People stands to be counted (hunched over and unshaven, but still standing) as a film that lets down its audience while still retaining a measurable amount of value. You go in wanting to love it. You want to laugh out loud. But to your ...
Pros: Very Real and Funny Cons: Very Vulgar at times
Judd Apatow has done it again, after 40 Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up, I was eager to see the new "Funny People", this is Adam Sandler's realest performance since Punch Drunk Love that I have seen. It's very real and blunt that many movies ...
Pros: Great supporting cast, lots of funny stuff. Cons: Plot just doesn't work.
Funny People, as you know from the trailers, is about a comedian and actor named George Simmons (Adam Sandler) who finds out he's dying and befriends a young comedian named Ira Wright (Seth Rogan). When he miraculously recovers, George tries to ...
Pros: Funny people is a very funny movie with a touching storyline. Cons: The humor is not for everyone as most jokes are sexual references.
Judd Apatow, as I'm sure people are starting to become aware of, is the real deal as he already directed Knocked Up & 40 Year Old Virgin. He takes a different approach with Funny People, as it combines comedy and drama. Adam ...
