Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann star in this seriously funny unrated version of the film from writer-director Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up). When famous comedian George Simmons (Sandler) is given a second chance at a new beginning, he and his assistant, a struggling comedian, Ira (Rogen), return to the places and people that matter most…including the stand-up spots that gave him his start and the girl that got away (Mann). Co-starring Jonah Hill, Eric Bana and Jason Schwartzman, it’s the film critics cheer is “uproariously funny!” (Sonny Bunch, The Washington Times)

Feels like it is both a love song and a tribute to Apatow's life journey and the people in it through their joys, sorrows, quirks and idiosyncracies.

Despite the lengthy run time, Funny People gives us one of Adam Sandler's best performances so I can't complain.

A wise and moving look beneath the mystique of celebrity.

Here's a film full of rich characters who are interesting, funny and believable. It's handled with great care by Apatow and the result is his best film to date.

I wouldn't even describe this movie as a comedy. I would describe it as pointless. I know where they were trying to go, they just didn't get there.

Common Sense Says

Stand-up saga has a foul mouth but brains and heart, too.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that director Judd Apatow's latest comedy is loaded with the strong language (from "f--k" to "p---y" and then some), adult behavior, and sexualized material (including lots of penis jokes and one scene with naked breasts) you'd expect from the man behind Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin. But it's also an honest, sincere drama about the challenges of modern life. Look past the crude stuff, and you'll see that this is actually a serious, heartfelt film masquerading as a light comedy.
