Funny People – Movie Review
Funny People is money printer Judd Apatow’s latest directorial work. He chose to re-team with several actors whom he’d previously worked with very successfully, most notably the two stars Seth Rogen and Adam Sandler. The plot is that Sandler’s George is a very successful comedian who has starred in a ton of big blockbuster movies and had a dream career, and is pretty much Adam Sandler, finds out that he has a rare form of Leukemia and there’s very little chance of recovery. Spurred on by this news he heads to a local comedy club where he catches part of Rogen’s character, Ira’s, set. He thinks his material was pretty good and winds up hiring him to initially be a writer for him, then to be his assistant. He lays the news on his new assistant and tells him that he must keep it to himself.
