It took a long time for me to forgive hollywood.
In highschool, my friend Chris and I worked at a Video Rental Store. We'd watch "Happy Gilmore", "Billy Madison", "Tommy Boy", and "Black Sheep". And I think Funny People is the perfect movie for people who loved those movies 15 years ago.
Adam Sandler nearly stars as himself, and aging star of past comedy mega-hits, who discovers he's dying and returns to stand-up comedy, blah, blah, blah, young comic Seth Rogan, blah, blah, blah.
There's a dreamy vibe to the picture, a super smooth flow that I'm not entirely un-acscribing (not a word) to the general sleep deprivation around this house, but that vibe is what made Good Will Hunting so much more than it's script.
It's long as hell, and it's not really a comedy, but it is funny.
So, in conclusion (that's a Jeff Middaugh ending right there, sorry, Dr. Jeff Middaugh), go check it out. It's awesome.
Final Grade -- A+
