What a Waste of Time and Talent

Just saw Funny People last night taking a study break. It was decidedly not funny. Aside from running 2.5 hours, the good jokes were few and far between and it seems like there are two movies side by side which are unrelated woven into one. They could have chucked the second one, tightened up the first one, and made a good funny movie out of it.

What a waste of Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman of I Heart Huckabees fame (who I think is totally underrated), and the girl who plays Seth Rogen's crush who may be the funniest of the lot. Also, Adam Sandler is getting old, literally and figuratively. Despite being a huge fan of his in high school (over a decade ago), come on man, get a new schtick. Shape up, or ship out.

Don't watch this move.
