Funny People

This "movie" was just painful.

It could have been some sort of passing of the baton from Adam Sandler to Seth Rogen, but it just sucked.

The problem was, it was trying to be too much of a comedy and too much of a drama. The standup was good, but it was always cut off just when it got on a roll. The movie would have been greatly improved if the dramatic story arc were largely incorporated into the standup. The dramatic parts were just sort of uncomfortable, and most of the funny parts weren't funny. The other problem was that Judd Apatow was trying too hard to mix the two genres, and they create this sort of weird... thing that doesn't resemble either. And tends to eat the part of your brain that makes you like movies.
