And to top it sandlers charachter is a real arse, he is self centred,rude to everyone and learns absolutly nothing from his near death experience.
Then to wrap it all up he just writes a few jokes down and that is supposed to make up for what a horrible person he has been to rogen and trying to ruin a family for his own selfishness. People may say selfishness is human nature and it is, but this film wasnt a characther study. it chugs on like it is going to make a point and then unsatisfyingly ends. I actually found myself rooting for Eric Bana.
it loses its way in the mid to last act and rely's heavily on cameos to keep up the laughs. having said that i thoght that Rogen was enjoyable and there were some nice moments in the film.
Even do I am no better than a beast do I not have the right to live?

i felt like that was the point of the movie....selfish people, depressing people, serious people, immature people...and nothing turning out right for any of them...i felt like it was a more touching movie than a funny movie. i did think it dragged on a little too long, i looked at the clock and was like really its been 2 and a half hours already.... I think apatow went a little too far with showcasing his family. But all in all I did like the movie it was different than what I expected much more of a drama than a laugh out loud comedy.

yeah thats why its called funny people, not funny ha ha, but funny weird. Also although Sandle is the draw I think the real star is Ira, and he actually does grow in the movie

I thought it was called "Funny People" to emphasize the fact that in the world of "funny", there is still a world of "serious"
