Funny People... More like Serious People


This movie is a drama with comedy thrown in not a comedy with drama thrown in. As it was advertised. Adam Sandler basically mopes around acting like an ass for pretty much the entire movie which makes it kinda tough to sit through, though I do like the movie as it seems pretty real with decent performances and funny cameos. It feels like an ode to comedians

It's called Funny People because it is about stand-up comedians....its a dark comedy emphasis on the dark. Not the typical ending where he gets the girl, thats why I liked it.
