Not bad but Apatow's seen better days
This movie is fairly average by Apatow standards in comparison to his earlier directorial efforts. There are some laughs to be had, but for me there was way to many sex jokes. Obviously it what the US audiences are into, but they weren't for me. The story part of the movie was okay with decent performances.
Eric Bana is a pleasant surprise, and there is actual characterisation. Unfortunately the movie feels a tad too long but otherwise it is a decent effort with Rogen and Sandler playing off each other nicely. Definitely one to rent so you can make your own mind up about it. -

Funnyman Jonah Hill turned down the chance to join Shia Labeouf in the Transformers sequel so he could make Funny People with his hero Adam Sandler. The Superbad star dismisses reports he wanted too much money for the sidekick role in the blockbuster and insists his decision was a simple one. He tells Complex magazine, "I love (director) Michael Bay, but it (film) just wasn't right. I wouldn't have been able to do Funny People if I'd done it." Read more
