Funny People

...has a lot of humor and gnashing. It's centered on Adam Sandler's best performance, playing George Simmons, a superstar comic who learns he has a very short time to live.

An absolute treat. In spite of its disappointing climax, this is Apatow’s smartest, rudest and — yes — funniest film yet.

Rogen uses his Charlie Brown slouch here to good effect as Ira, a stand-up comedian struggling with the rigors of the circuit and his own crippling insecurity.

It’s refreshingly unformulaic, but a rambling mess. It’s also tremendously funny.

...et ganske godt stykke håndværk der viser at Apatow trods alt kan andet end fald-på-halen komedie.
