I totally agree with everyone else!!!
How i regret that decision.
Its not funny!! and actually quite boring. Ok I admit i sniggered a few times but that was it. The plot was stupid and lacked any real focus or direction and you end up thinking - what was the point in that? - for most of it.
The only good thing out of the night was the free tickets I got because the sound was off in the screen.
A Truely appalling film
Not what i expected
Funny People - More Like Boring People
Adam sandler being the main character leads you to expect a great comedy movie to keep you entertained and laughing all the way, well we were left wondering were the actual humour in the movie was. We were left slouched in our seats half asleep begging for the tediously long movie to end.
Not recommended at all - was painfully boring and clearly one of the worst movies i've seen.
