Funny People...Adam Sandler can act! Who knew. A rather pleasing movie which deals with Sandler as a cynical fame, and wealth obsessed comedian whose live changes when he is diagnosed with a fatal illness. He undergoes experimental therapy and he is cured. Thus he decides to change his life and seize the day by stealing his one true love from her husband (played wonderfully by Eric Bana). Throughout he is accompaned by a young comedian he has taken on as an assistant and joke writer (Seth Rogan). The friends of the latter (Jonah Hill and Jason Schwartzman) have sold out to do a poor sitcom. Some good cameo appearances by people such as Eminem.
A rather pleasing effort with enough laughs, poignancy and ambiguity to leave most cinema goers rewarded.
