Funny People

Funny People is a movie I can't describe what I really mean to say about this movie but I will try. Well before I start to talk about my dislikes of the film I just want to make it clear that I did truly enjoy this movie but for some reason I don't feel as connected to it as I do to Knocked Up or Forgetting Sarah Marshall (which was produced by Apatow). I think the main reason is that I did not want Adam Sandler's character to succeed at regaining the love of his like, who is played by the love of my life, Leslie Mann. This is mainly because he is just not a nice guy. On the other hand, the character played by Seth Rogan I was with the entire time. I really love Jonah Hill as Seth Rogan's roommate. I also loved the scenes of Adam Sandler's Character, George Simmons's Movies which were parodies of the type of movies Sandler makes. Unfortunatly shortly after the beginning of the movie there was about 20 minutes which I can't pinpoint exactly, but they struck a wrong chord, I'm not sure exactly why but it just didn't feel like the rest of the movie, but other than that I think Funny People is one of the best comedies of the summer so far.
