Is it me or when you go to see a movie titled Funny People, you expect the people in it to be funny? The film Funny People is about a famous comedian (Adam Sandler) who has a near-death experience, and tries to make his life right before her dies. Adam Sandler, Eric Bana, Jason Schwartzman, RZA and newcomer Aubrey Plaza join a cast that reunites Judd Apatow with Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann and Jonah Hill in their third comedy together.
Khushbu and I ventured to the movie theater Friday for what we thought would be an afternoon of laughs. We both found the movie to be an epic fail. It was drawn out to 2 hr. and 15 mins. with only a few choice laughs the entire time. It was difficult just to stay awake. The jokes were pathetic and tried way to hard. Most of the time it was just a bunch of awkward scenes shoved together. Comedian veteran, Adam Sandler lost major points with this film from me. Could it be that Adam Sandler is losing his touch? Also, Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill seemed to lack their usual flare. This film was beyond disappointing with a lame ending to boot. I would recommend waiting for it to come out on DVD, but I think even that would be a waste of time
