I have been a huge fan of Judd Apatow for years. From Freaks and Geeks to Undeclared. From The 40 Year Old Virgin to Knocked Up. I think that this film is him best work to date. I loved the beginning with the home videos of Adam Sandler doing crank phone calls all the way to the end. The stand-up throughout is hillarious. The main attractions of Seth Rogan, Sandler, Jonah Hill and Leslie Mann are absolutely perfectly cast. Even the supporting roles are excellent especially the girl from Parks and Recreation. If I were to rate this movie I would give it two thumbs up or a 9.5 out of 10. A hillarious piece of work. I loved it.

Waste of 2 and 1/2 hours of you life and waste of your money! So boring! There were about 25 people in the theater, by the end there was about 10. At least 4+ couples walked out. I am one of the people who didnt walk out like all the others did, because I had other people with me. Of course this is my opinion on "Funny People". I guess it depends on what kind of movie you like....but not one of the people I went to the movies with walked out the door saying "That was an awesome movie!" Slow start and boring, could not wait till it ended. Most Adam Sandler movies are good, this one could have done better.

This is a good movie with lots of food for thought and good performances. It's not a comedy, and it's a shame that the people who created the trailer emphasize the few funny lines. It causes the wrong expectations and will disappoint a lot of people. It was unecessarily long, also. But I'm glad I saw it.

I thought this was a very fresh comedy. If you don't like swearing an sex jokes, I'd skip it. If yu can get past that, you'll laugh your butt off. Smartly written and well acted.

Dear Mr. Apatow, please don't quit your day job. Leave the drama and or romatic comedy (couldn't really tell what you were going for) to Rob Reiner, Nora Ephron and Ron Howard. Now let me say I absolutely LOVED your other movies. LOVED THEM!!!! And went on blind faith to see another great movie. I waited and waited and waited for the pee in my pants funny parts. NADA. Sure there were a few chuckles but not worth the time. One of the best lines from the trailer wasn't even in the movie (Harry Potter bit.) I would have rather been outside in the 100 degree heat if I had known that this movie has no momentum, no laughter and what seemed like no ending in sight. I actually felt bad for the actors that agreed to do the movie. Adam Sandler, Seth Rogan and his twin geez, sorry you had to go through that. I won't hold it against you. So please Mr. Apatow go back to the gut busting humor that you excel at and no more serious movies, please. I beg you. ( Note to self, check Fandango ratings.)
