negative · AI labelView post →Is my movie Funny People 5 elevating cinema? Is it ennobling humanity? No. That’s not my fuckin job. I make money for everyone I work with. I’m Hyman Roth, except we’re breaking no laws and everyone is having a good time. Now watch this drive.

neutral · AI labelView post →I love that Adam Sandler made a whole movie (Funny People) which almost explicitly says “I, Adam Sandler, acknowledge that most of my movies are cheap sellout dreck which is artistically beneath me. But I’m okay with that. It’s a living.”

neutral · AI labelView post →Funny People. Really should've made that movie longer, and worse. And longer. Also could've tacked on a few more scenes. Maybe make it less funny too.
negative · AI labelView post →Funny People, the Judd Apatow movie. Half an hour in I was just thinking "where the fuck are you going with this"
negative · AI labelView post →Remember Funny People, that kind of mid movie about comedians that had Seth Rogen and Adam Sandler in it? Well, even if you don’t, I have it! God, remember when people just *bought* movies?
negative · AI labelView post →Long and hot day, but time for a movie! Tonight's randomly selected movie is... Funny People, 2009
neutral · AI labelView post →He's so good in Funny People, a movie that most people didn't care for but I loved. He makes carries the dramatic parts
positive · AI labelView post →Just rewatched Funny People, a movie about Adam Sandler not winning back the love of his life from her husband because he can't help but make fun of her daughter singing a song from Cats. I feel like some people don't like it because it's more a drama about comedians than a comedy, but it's good.

negative · AI labelView post →My ★★★½ review of Funny People on @letterboxd: boxd.it/qUEwd
positive · AI labelView post →Eitherway I still enjoy the movie for what it is. It's easily my favorite Happy Madison movie of the Netflix era and the only one I can confidently say is funny since Paul Blart and Funny People. It's enjoyable. It does border on rolling and might be, but if you like the first I'd give it a shot.
positive · AI labelView post →I haven’t seen an Adam Sandler movie since Funny People, and it’s really depressing how he has zero energy or commitment to a single line or physical bit. Dude’s comatose.
negative · AI labelView post →Funny People is 2 and a half hours long! You tell me your movie is 146 minutes about a guy diagnosed with a terminal disease dealing with his failed marriage you damn well better have him die
negative · AI labelView post →He WROTE the character specifically for him but Sandler was signed on to do the Judd Apatow movie Funny People and you just have to think of “Punch Drunk Love” Sandler to think how much better he would have been at it than Roth
neutral · AI labelView post →they called the movie "Funny People" yet I don't recall laughing once

neutral · AI labelView post →Why didn’t Adam Sandler make more movies like Funny People might have been his greatest movie
positive · AI labelView post →In the otherwise forgettable Adam Sandler movie 'Funny People' there's a recurring bit where (both playing themselves) Eminem is extremely hostile and aggressive to a very timid and amiable Ray Romano for no reason, and it feels like that's what's happening between the USA and Canada at the moment.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh yes, you're right! I completely forgot about that film and to a lesser extent he's good in 'Funny People'.

neutral · AI labelView post →Funny People is a great 100 minute movie that is unfortunately 146 minutes
neutral · AI labelView post →What was this movie? Funny People?
neutral · AI labelView post →Well if you look at their bestselling books, he doesn't even appear on the Bestselling Film & Television Biographies, or Entertainment or Funny People lists, so I suspect it's not troubling any of their best selling lists
neutral · AI labelView post →Who writes this stuff? The media/entertainment is getting saturated with this trash, acting like its normal, why won't someone do anything about this? How many comedians does it take to get a single laugh from someone? Apparently more than the cast of this whole movie. This is a great example of dumbed down comedy - if you thought it was funny, you're probably stupid. Remember that boy/girl in grade primary who said 'penis' for the first time, and everyone in the class laughed? Well this is…

neutral · AI labelView post →Funny People. Seemingly unknown movie, but when known described as rambling and pointless. Not gonna compare to Terrence Malick movies, but similarly I was in no hurry for this movie to end. So many, well, funny people in each scene.
positive · AI labelView post →🎬 Funny People (2009) Very appropriately titled for how Funny People actually are. While many expected a comedy, the film touches on the strangeness of human beings, deep diving into our capacity for selfishness, jealously, insecurity and resentment.

neutral · AI labelView post →Funny People has to be my favorite Judd Apatow film but one of my favorite Sandler films. At it's core, this is Sandler making fun of his own career while showing off how fantastic of a actor he is. The film is funny as hell with a supporting cast of A-List comedians. Still live up on repeat viewing
positive · AI labelView post →Among the top 10 lists on the Times' site, my favorite one-movie pick might be Lena Dunham going with FUNNY PEOPLE. Hugely underrated, funny, very moving picture that was ignored by almost everyone when it came out.
positive · AI labelView post →What I like about Funny People (2009) is the casts of the chemistry between Adam Sandler and Seth Rogan, that anyone who's a selfish prick who's ambitious would they ever be redeemable from what makes them happy and people can relates of loneliness. A great Judd Apatow film is The 40 Year Old Virgin
