Title: Funny People

This movie looks great, and I have a feeling Aziz Ansari is going to blow up after this.  He's getting pretty famous now, but his character "Randy" is fucking hilarious in the movie.

Sandler has fallen off hard in the past few years, with the exception of chuck and larry, that shit was hilarious. It looks alright but i'm not expecting much from this.

The film is written by Judd Apatow though.  It will be more like 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up than Little Nicky and Zohan.  I wouldn't be surprised if this film gets Oscar attention later on.

I know that, but I was just saying I don't think Sandler is that funny these days. and I LOVE Appatow's movies but this doesnt look that funny to me. with 40 year old virgin and knocked up just about every clip I saw I laughed, I've seen a few clips from this movie and I haven't really laughed, 'chuckled' at the most.

Sandler has been subpar for a while so I am not really expecting much from this.

To me Sandler has never been funny, but I still enjoy Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison.  Plus, Punch Drunk Love was great and Funny People is more of a serious film about stand up comedians.  Why is Sandler even being used as a barometer to see if this movie is promising or not?

i cant fucking wait to see this, i think it will be awesome, from the commercials looks like the dialouge will be on point

Because he's the lead and most of this movie will be centered around him.

Sandler is underrated on this board....he's better than Will Ferrell or Jim Carrey.

movie looks amazing, i heard Eminem has a cameo & countless comedians; maybe Ab-Normal LOL.

sounds cool.

Rob schneider will definatly make a cameo.....
Title: Re: Funny People

amazing movie, don't go expecting some laugh your ass off comedy; with jokes literally every second.

the funny parts are mad funny & most of the stand-up is hilarious.

it has a serious side to it though, but it's an amazing all around movie.

but like i said, don't go expecting "The Hangover" type comedy with non-stop jokes for 99% of the movie, about 50% is jokes.

highly recommended. 8)

Rob schneider will definatly make a cameo.....

unless i really missed him no he didn't lol.

the homie Shady is in their though & has a MAD funny part lol. :P

but also, a lot of cameos, but i don't think Rob was in it, i was shocked.

Post by: NiCc_FrUm_ThA_nO on July 31, 2009, 11:10:00 PM
Holy shit was I wrong!! :o

The movie is hilarious, the stand up is funny, Sandler was funny as fuck. Rogen was funny, Jonah Hill was funny too. Great cameos, Em was funny as hell, rogen : 'I thought everybody loved you'' ;D

I liked the seriousness of the movie, really made it great. You won't laugh all the way through but it's pretty consistent throughout the movie.

GO SEE IT!

btw: last time I underestimate an Appatow film ;)

Yea he could've been somewhere in the bar but he definently had no dialogue in the film.

The movie was hilarious, but a bit too long.  It's definitely a must see though. It needed more Aziz though

It was an OK movie. A little on the long side, but better than 95% of movies that have come out in 2009.

eminem part was def corny, he looks fat too, movie was awesome, def more serious than i expected despite the fact that i was aware after reading here and other places, a little too long, almost 2.5 hours, but, there no part that i can really say should be cut out, in all i was cracking up, and def touched me, lol
Title: Re: Funny People
Post by: Sparegeez on August 02, 2009, 07:44:10 PM
I can just tell from that scene Eminem is a little bitch just like Dre. I even heard a rumor Dre is a homo, I wouldn't be surprised if they're a couple now that I'm thinking about it.

i understand what you're saying, but if the scene was in a movie that came out in 2002, right when he was on top of the world, i have a feeling you would find it much funnier lol.

i dunno, man....shit was pretty funny. eminem is hilarious in movies. even if it's in an unintentional/awkward sorta way.

the acting was dead on. He didn't have to do anything more.  The way he looked and how calm he was when saying all that shit was PERFECT.

Eminem was cool in it and RZA was really amazing in it.  Ray Romano's facial expressions in the Eminem scene made that scene much more hilarious though.

i would say Hangover is the funnier movie of the two, but overall as a film Funny People takes it.

Hangover was non-stop hilarious comedy, whereas Funny People had a lot of seriousness in it; which wasn't bad, made it a better all around movie. 8)

I was saying because it didn't meet up it's expectations as it had hoped.. especially for having big name people on its line-up, i.e. Adam Sandler, Judd Apatow, Seth Rogan, that fat dude that was in Superbad.

Seth Rogan is more of a writer.  Jonah at his style he's funny compared to Seth at his style.  Jason Schwartzman kills Seth Rogan in that witty/serious department.

Judd Apatow and Seth Rogan together? How could you possibly go wrong?

I haven't watched this yet, but I can bet my right nut this is going to be an efficient film. Apatow is brilliant.
