Funny People
2009
Famous and wealthy funnyman George Simmons (Adam Sandler) doesn't give much thought to how he treats people until a doctor (Torsten Voges) delivers stunning health news, forcing George to reevaluate his priorities with a little help from aspiring stand-up comic Ira (Seth Rogen). Judd Apatow (Knocked Up) writes and directs this moving comedy that also stars Leslie Mann, Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman and Aubrey Plaza.

They should have gone fully dark with this film as it showed great moments at the start. But instead it fell back into sillyness around mid-film cheapening the whole experience. It did show a more serious side of Adam that I wish to see more of!
