by Jason on Nov.30, 2009, under Movie Reviews

Movie: Funny People
Director: Judd Apatow
Starring: Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann, Eric Bana, Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman, Aubrey Plaza

Summary: Funny People begins when an aging comedian (played by Adam Sandler) finds out that he has a life ending disease. After suffering a bout of depression he decides to go back to his roots and start doing stand-up again. It is here where he mets an aspiring comedian (played by Seth Rogen) and hires him as his assistant. Sandler starts on new medicine that saves his life but greatly affects his new kindled affair with a former girlfriend.

Review: The movie was not classic Adam Sandler. Had some funny moments, but the movie was entirely to long at over 2 and a half hours. The story went a total different way than I saw it going.




Other Works Directed by Judd Apatow
