♂ His and ♀ Her Reviews

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: So, if your an Adam Sandler fan, and you’re expecting one of his normally hilarious films, you might be in for a bit of a surprise. This is a story of life. The movie is filled with famous and not so famous comedians. While you will find plenty of humor, there is also love, death, heartbreak, disease, and can be a bit dark at moments. All in all, I did enjoy this movie. Every prediction I made while watching it was wrong. But that’s a good thing.

I gave the movie 8 out of 10 Stars.

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.
