With actors and comedians such as Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill I would expect the movie "Funny People" to be hilarious without going much further into the detailed synopsis of the movie on IMDB. But it was cool to get to see a mixture of comedy and drama in the movie. Typically I would assume that it would be insanely hilarious or at least laughable (for some) just like "You Don't Mess With The Zohan" starred by Adam Sandler.
Without the intention of creating a spoiler if you haven't watched this movie yet, suffice to say that "Funny People" doesn't necessarily imply that the movie is funny (literally?). The truth is, it is about the life of a comedian, George Simmons (acted by Adam Sandler), who was suffering from an illness, a slight variation of leukemia and how his life changed because of that.
From IMDB, "When seasoned comedian George Simmons learns of his terminal, inoperable health condition, his desire to form a genuine friendship cause him to take a relatively green performer under his wing as his opening act."
Pretty awesome to watch I would say. I'd give it a 4 out of 5.
