He is very well supported by this very funny cast and many cameos. With Apatow directing, I guess I shouldn't be surprised by its wonderfulness. I never knew if I wanted to cry or laugh through the entire thing, which is good. The only compla... read more

"You're not funny. You look funny, but you're not funny." [I could say the same thing to the movie]

The drama-comedy Funny People is Judd Apatow's third outing as a writer-director, and it stars both Seth Rogen and Adam Sandler. This should be a funny movie, right? Of course, the problem with expectations is they occasionally lead to disappointment - and Funny People is disappointin... read more

Best Movie Ending Songs (27 movies items)

"Song: "Watching the Wheels (Acoustic Version" by John Lennon. Whether you like the film or not, you gotta give credit to Judd Apatow for ending his movie with such an adequate song choice."

I Thought You'd Be Bigger: Part 2 (50 movies items)

"Judd Apatow's first two directorial efforts scored big at the box office, grossing over $100mil. each. Add in a very talented comedic cast and a July release date, this one looked like a guaranteed hit. Unfortunately, audiences weren't that fond of mixing crude comedy and harsh death drama. Prediction: $120-130mil. Actual: $51,855,045."
