I recently watched Funny People.
Funny People is the comedy-drama film written and directed by Judd Apatow. It features Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen as stand-up comedians.
I surprisingly didn't hate this film, which I was told by many that I would. I actually enjoyed a lot of aspects of the movie. The biggest flaw was that the actors weren't of the proper caliber for the material. And the material itself at times was rather vulgar and shallow just for the sake of being funny - cause otherwise there wasn't much to laugh at. The biggest beef I had with the film however, was that none of the main characters are that likable. The all just barely get by. I wouldn't want to be friends with any of the characters in real life -- they all seem like total douches. Other than that, it was pretty brave and interesting.
I'll give it a 3/5.
