Starring Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Eric Bana and Jason Schwartzman, ‘Funny People’ tells the story of a famous comedian whose life changes when he has a near death experience.

If you liked ‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’ and ‘Knocked Up’, you’ll love ‘Funny People’.

I must admit i am not a great fan of Adam Sandler but i thought i would give this film a go as the trailer looked good.

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

When i saw the trailer and saw everyone who's in Funny People i thought it was going to be a very good film, but i was a bit dissapointed when i came to watch it. I found the plot pointless and the ending wasnt all that good. I found the start of the story dragged on for ages then the main bit that was advertised wasnt that funny and seemed pretty pointless being in the film. The start was hilarious though and the film did have other funny parts but it was only occasional, for most of the film i was sat in the cinema a little bored. Not one of Adam Sandlers best films.

Funny People - More Like Boring People

Funny people - a movie that promises to have you seriously laughing out loud they say - more like snoring out loud.

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.
