Funny People Audience Reviews

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Wrapper30 Wow this movie left a warm glow inside you and proves that Adam Sandler is actually a fine actor.It feels like it is almost autobiographical as Sandler's character George is very rich but clearly not happy. Maybe that is how Adam feels about fame? George treats women like crap but clearly it is because he feels that way about himself. In the second half of the movie we see why as he rekindles his romance with his first true love before he became famous. However Eric Bana and two great kids come in to play. Bana is great.Excellent support from Jonah Hill and a whole host of cameos. My favourite is Eminem chewing out Ray Romano for staring at him.
izzybella-87622 The biggest waste of 2 1/2 hrs of my life. I honestly got cancer and wished I died by the time it ended! Anticlimactic and worse than the first time I tried to have sex.
Kingslaay This film was a mess, it was kind of all over the place in that there was no clear plot or message. If you were expecting a film with Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen to be comedic you will be very disappointed. This film is not funny and fails to have any genuine funny moments but some weak jokes here and there. It completely and utterly fails at drama which was so poorly done and unconvincing it was painful to watch. Clearly Adam Sandler is not cut out to be in dramas, the world has firmly placed him in the comedy genre that he has done so well in the past. Leslie Mann is a very unimpressive actress, unfortunately she seems to be showing up in almost every low level B film that might have done better had she not been in it. She mainly plays an over dramatic, whiny and fragile character in almost every modern film and is simply exhausting to watch. In other words she ruins almost every film she is in. Another star was removed just for having her in this film and making it worse than it already was.
aleo81190 "Famous comedy artist who is about to fall for Leukemia hires an assistant for comedy writing and trying to spend some time with his Ex- girlfriend who is already married. He Succeed? What happened to his health??" Full and full adult movie. Reunion is not good and the second breakup even worse. I really have no idea about the assistant and why he was there. I cant believe that I wasted 2 and a half hours for this movie. Worst stand up comedies throughout the movie. Even the roommates cant make the movie alive. Stay away.
