Funny People - Reviews

...has a lot of humor and gnashing. It's centered on Adam Sandler's best performance, playing George Simmons, a superstar comic who learns he has a very short time to live.

An absolute treat. In spite of its disappointing climax, this is Apatow’s smartest, rudest and — yes — funniest film yet.

Rogen uses his Charlie Brown slouch here to good effect as Ira, a stand-up comedian struggling with the rigors of the circuit and his own crippling insecurity.

It’s refreshingly unformulaic, but a rambling mess. It’s also tremendously funny.

...et ganske godt stykke håndværk der viser at Apatow trods alt kan andet end fald-på-halen komedie.

Hver gang komedien er ved at tage overhånd, tager filmen et skift mod drama, og omvendt. Det er perfekt afmålt.

Hans brygd av sotsvart drama och livsbejakande komedi fungerar faktiskt.
