Funny People
OK so today I was out in Hwood and got to see this movie about 2 weeks before its out. Its out July 31. It was directed by Judd Apatow who wrote/produced or directed “Knocked up/40 year old virgin/Pineapple express” and a bunch of other movies that we have all seen over that last 3 years.
So in this film Adam Sandler plays a comedian who gets some form of lukemia and runs into Seth Rogen and who plays a new up and coming comedian and hires him to be his joke writer/personal assistant. If you see the trailers for this you know everyone who is in it bc everyone in every movie that Apatow is asscoiated with has the exact same cast.
This brings me to my first complaint. Everyone of these guys/girls are in all the same movies together and they all play the same damn characters!! Its not like a Kevin Smith movie where all the characters are the same bc all his movies are kinda like sequals of each other, these Apatow movies are all independant and all the characters are the same people. Thats annoying. Another thing that sucked was that this movie, like all the other Apatow movies, was long as fuck! This shit ran 2:40!!
Ill admit that the movie was kinda funny and it did have its moments but it got slow and boring…then a laugh…then slow…the a laugh…then boring…then a laugh…then a life lesson. If this movie didnt have so much damn character background and was an hour shorter i would say to go see it.
The thing is that too much and at the same time nothing is going on. It just gets old where every joke is a penis joke and we’ve all seen this movie if we’ve seen his other ones.
Id say save your money.
watch it on cable
