Funny People is a mumblecore movie made by Judd Apatow.
I laughed and generally enjoyed myself during the film, but felt pretty bland about the whole experience afterwards. Manohla Dargis sums it up nicely.
It’s an angle that sounds as if it had been cooked up by a studio flack to explain how words like divorce and death got tangled in with all the penis (and thereabouts) jokes. But the only difference is that now Mr. Apatow also seems lethally serious about being Judd Apatow.
The man wants an Oscar. Maybe they'll give it to him.
