"Funny People" is not a misnomer in the slightest.

More like unfunny people amirite? But seriously, this was one of the biggest pieces of shit I've seen in a while. Two and a half hours of empty writing. I gave it a chance, I'm sorry that I did.

Went and saw this tonight because I am going to be interviewing Judd Apatow in the morning.

I think my first question is going to be why he seems to be scared to cut that last 30 minutes out of his movies.

Someone earlier mentioned that the movie peaked at Eminem and I pretty much agree. I didn't dislike the movie, just the thought the 3rd act was interminably long. Knock 30 mins out of this and it gets exponentially better (and likely wouldn't sacrifice even a little of the plot or the overarching story.)

Aging dickheaded comedian Adam Sandler plays an aging dickheaded comedian in the new movie Funny People!
News at 11!

i enjoyed this movie. and are you really going to ask him why he doesn't edit his movies better? do you want to get more interviews with directors in the future? of course i don't actually believe that you'll actually do what you say.

I can assure you that this question was indeed asked. If you want to hear the answer, tune in Monday morning to 96 Rock mornings. (granted, it might have been asked in a slightly more delicate manner, but the jist of the question was the same.)

8/7/2009 12:05:52 PM

nope. not gonna sit through 96rock to hear you talk to judd apatow. what was the question that you actually asked?

8/7/2009 1:32:27 PM

man, i was not expecting something so serious. i guess it was okay... just serious.

someone needs to teach Judd Apatow how to write movies that don't fall apart in the last 30 minutes. goddamn did the end of this movie drag.

whoops, didn't even read any of the other posts, but looks like a lot of people said the same thing

I loved Closer, too

parts were hilarious... but too long, coulda cut a good bit from the end

8/13/2009 8:21:55 PM

It was just like life--pointless, boring, and full of douche bags,

I can't believe they made it.

I mean, the bit with Mr. Mathers was great, but surely they didn't imagine it could carry a whole movie.

I saw it last night, and I liked it, but probably not going to be a repeat watch for me.

vinylbandit nailed why:

yep, Adam Sandler's character is the embodiment of why I can't stand celebrities and would never want to spend any length of time with them. I have such distaste for them, that I generally can't stand people who follow celebrity news and shit.

I couldn't believe how much this movie dragged in the final third act. This movie was an A until then.

8/7/2010 3:15:33 AM

Yeah.

It was like a story and a half that did not know how or when to end.
