From the guy who brought us Knocked Up and Superbad comes Funny People, an Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen led comedy about the world of comedy. Ira Wright (Rogen) is an amateur stand-up comedian struggling to break through, and George Simmons (Sandler) is shallow and empty after enjoying all the benefits of being the most successful comedian going. When they meet, the story is surprisingly touching and deep, and let down only by a reversion to immaturity in a second half that's too long.
Rating: 7/10 - Not your everday slapstick, but a thorough, meaningful comedy
