Funny People Rekalled....

FUNNY PEOPLE is an interesting comedy from Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler. It is more an Apatow film than a Sandler film in a way but it also uses Sandler as a model for the main character, even using actual home video of Sandler and his antics. But the Apatow stamp and fits in nicely with his other films. Sanlder does a great job of going against what we expect of him, he is funny yet a jerk through out the film. Not the lovable retard he plays in half his films. Seth Rogen stands out as well with his subtle turn when he is sheepish and awkward, not the nerd bravado he normally exudes. Over all a funny film with insight into the world of comedy from the 2 spectrums, those who are beginning and those who are successful.
