Leave your thoughts about Funny People.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleFunny People is a true brass ring effort, a reach for excellence that takes big risks. It's 146 minutes, with a story that's more European in feeling than American. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanHilarious while also being poignant and wise, Funny People is, hands down, my favorite movie of the summer. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedIf you object to public offenses of decency, smut that reduces the oxygen in the brain or just plain lousy, amateurish filmmaking, it's easy enough to avoid Funny People like the swine flu. |
| Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.comScott Von DoviakFunny People isn't exactly a chore to sit through, but it's awfully slack and self-indulgent. |
| TV Guide MagazinePerry SeibertThe result is a raucously funny and poignant love letter to standup comics. |
| NewsBlazePrairie MillerNot 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. |
| MovielineMichelle OrangeSandler plays the ruthlessly flat affect of the entitled so well it bespeaks a kind of weary authenticity of its own, which purity is complemented whenever his natural charisma is inspired by something other than a paycheck. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerIn its home stretch, Funny People's action drags so unnecessarily that it ... drains any impact from its refreshingly pragmatic view of second chances. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowWhat starts out as an intriguing dance between two different themes ends up as a brawl in which crass and shallow wins by a TKO in the 23rd round. |
| Shared DarknessBrent SimonExpected Apatowian excesses aside, Funny People mostly pops as a comedy, even though its last two reels are gear-grindingly inefficient and misguided, lacking the pathos that made Sideways affecting. |
