"Funny People" had to be one of the most misunderstood films of last year. I literally know two people who don't hate it. But shit, Sandler went off in that flick in a performance that was funny and sad and pathetic and amazing. Eric Bana was great. Eminem's cameo was the best surprise I saw in a film last year.
The length. Waaaay too fucking long. I appreciate that this was a passion project for two long time friends in Apatow and Sandler, but this movie had montages that went on for 7 minutes at a time! They could have cut some of those montage scenes the fuck out.
All and all, great movie I thought.
