FUNNY PEOPLE (2009) - Aug. 1, 2009
About a famous comedian who finds out that he's dying and ultimately attempts to rekindle an old relationship, this was another overlong film from Judd Apatow. It was well made and well acted (particularly Adam Sandler, who confirms that he can be a really good actor when he wants to be) and I was always entertained, but the film definitely dragged in parts, particularly the bloated third act. It's too bad, because there's a lot of good stuff here, and so I definitely think that with a bit of trimming (well actually, probably more than a bit) this could have been a really good movie. ***
