Movie Story


Over the past few years, writer/director Judd Apatow ("The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Knocked Up") has shown that nothing-not even losing your virginity or the miracle of childbirth-is sacred. About his third film behind the camera, he says, "I'm trying to make a very serious movie that is twice as funny as my other movies. Wish me luck!" Apatow directs Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann in "Funny People," the story of a famous comedian who has a near-death experience.

Adam Sandler, Eric Bana, Jason Schwartzman, RZA and newcomer Aubrey Plaza join a cast that reunites Judd Apatow with Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann and Jonah Hill in their third comedy together.

can't wait to see Eric Bana do comedy again (and that stupid move with Drew Barrymore doesn't count).

Movie was a riot

The only good thing about this movie was the soundtrack! The writer's came up short with dialogue so obviously had to insert the "F" word at least twice in every sentence to make up a feature length movie.
