Funny People Wasn’t Very Funny…
Do not enter into Funny People expecting another light-hearted Judd Apatow comedy of the Knocked Up ilk, because it’s thoroughly depressing. Yes, you will laugh occasionally, but for most of the film you will sit quietly and wonder why the hell you rented it. I’m not saying it’s an entirely bad film, Adam Sandler delivers a decent performance as morally challenged comedian George Simmons, but it will definitely suck the positive atmosphere out of your day/night. If the atmosphere wasn’t positive to begin with then you’ll probably just end up killing yourself. Needless to say, I didn’t really enjoy it. It made my mouth go all droopy at the sides like a sad cartoon character and I had to drink like three bottles of Sunny D to perk myself up again.
