Funny People

Judd Apatow’s dramedy about comedy hit a stone wall when it was originally released, primarily because audiences expected a lot of laughs from the man who gave us The 40 year Old Virgin and Knocked Up. With lowered expectations, the DVD comes across as more interesting, if still not very funny. Adam Sandler gives a good performance as the big time comedian whose brush with death makes him reconsider what is really important in his life, but Seth Rogan is even more annoying as his protégée.
