Judd Apatow casts his former real-life roommate Adam Sandler as George Simmons, a comic superstar who learns in the movie's opening scene that he suffers from a rare blood disorder that will likely kill him within a year. This news gives him the impulse to go back out and work on his standup, something he hasn't done in years thanks to the massive success of his movie career. At a club, he meets struggling standup Ira Wright (Seth Rogen), takes a shine to him, and hires the young man both to write jokes and to be his personal assistant. Ira, who's been sleeping on a friend's pull-out couch and working a day job at a deli, enjoys the glimpse into the superstar lifestyle, but soon the protégé discovers how selfish and egocentric his mentor really is. Jason Schwartzman and Jonah Hill, and a host of famous standup comics make cameo appearances as themselves. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Review For Funny People

Funny People is funny, moving, dramatic, and alternately hilarious. It's a bit like a stand-up dramedy.
Laremy Legel-Film.com

This is a generous, goodhearted, enjoyable movie, loaded with memorable characters and genuine wit. But there's such a thing as giving a little too much.
Tom Huddlestone-Time Out

The good parts of this movie are often wonderful, but Apatow never finds the rhythm to keep it going. It lurches from inspiration to inspiration, but always manages to muddy its feet in mediocrity in between, as it drags on toward the two-and-a-half-hour
Jonathan F. Richards-Film.com

Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, The 40-Year-Old Virgin) takes some interesting chances in this messy but engaging comedy, which suggests he may yet mature (no, seriously) into a filmmaker of substance.
Cliff Doerksen-Chicago Reader

It walks a perfectly fine line between being funny and tragic.
Ben Mankiewicz-At the Movies

Apatow has always found a balance of heart and humor in his best films, and Funny People is no exception.
Ben Lyons-At the Movies

Why does Funny People often feel like a joke without a punchline?
Ali Gray-TheShiznit.co.uk

What exacerbates the ego-driven piece is the not-so-obvious multiple cameos of real-life celebrities. It comes across as Apatow bragging about how many famous people he knows.
Kevin Carr-7M Pictures

For all its qualities Funny People never quite comes together. It can't quite decide who it wants to be about, whether it wants to be a comedy or a drama and in trying to be all things at once it never quite hits its full potential.
Joshua Starnes-ComingSoon.net

Apatow draws on his own experience to explore behavioral nuances of people that make us laugh, and it's no secret that being funny is not the same as being happy.
Matt Kelemen-Las Vegas CityLife

Funny People may be deeply flawed, but at least it has an accurate title.
Simon Miraudo-Quickflix

Es al mismo tiempo la película más interesante de Apatow y también la más irregular. Ambiciosa, agridulce, por momentos brillante, demasiado larga.
Enrique Buchichio-Uruguay Total

... a character drama in the guise of a show-biz comedy.
Sean Axmaker-Seanax.com

If this movie were to be believed, I would conclude that the last people I'd ever want to hang out with are comedians.
Jeffrey Chen-Window to the Movies

Stand-up saga has a foul mouth but brains and heart, too.
James Rocchi-Common Sense Media

Proof positive that when bad things happen to funny people, they might not be all that funny anymore.
Kam Williams-NewsBlaze

Not exactly a movie about dying of laughter but close to it, Apatow's pot luck mock morbid meditation on mortality, punchlines and male anatomy jokes, is strangely as much about the cutting off of life as castration anxiety issues.

Joseph Proimakis-Movies for the Masses

It's interesting stuff, I feel myself wanting to like it more than I did. Judd Apatow has a lot to say, he just hasn't mastered the tools to say it well.
Jason Di Rosso-MovieTime, ABC Radio National

The film is also an admiring portrait of the artist as Californian solipsist -- unburdened by personal ties or even the need to seem intelligent, free to follow his own random, petty, moment-by-moment train of thought.
Jake Wilson-The Age (Australia)

Funny People has some very funny moments but don't expect a joke fest. And don't expect a tight film either. At two and a half hours, it is not one but two films... and at least one of them shouldn't have been made.
Giles Hardie-Sydney Morning Herald

It's a good deal more interesting than your average mainstream comedy.
Vicky Roach-Daily Telegraph (Australia)
