Funny People

Adam Sandler -> Eric Bana: «Se eu tivesse o teu aspeto, estaria em casa o dia todo me f*deria.» Uma das poucas linhas que o farão rir em voz alta nesta triste comédia. Mas sentir-se-á confortável com os seus personagens, e é disso que se trata. Sobre as relações, a necessidade de ter alguém próximo, a importância dos amores passados, e que ser famoso e rico não tem de significar não se sentir só. Muito pelo contrário. Apatow pontua perfeitamente a maior parte dos diálogos, revelando a vida por detrás do glamour de Hollywood e deixando os atores brilhar «no interior». Mas a filmagem de duas horas e meia é realmente demasiado para o género. (17/06/2013)

I couldn't watch it, so I turned it off about halfway through the movie. Sticking with a 2.5-hour long comedy that is also not funny at all is a superhuman feat for me. Plus, I couldn't watch my favorite actor Adam Sandler turn into a complete jerk in my eyes... Boo! (28/10/2010)

I like Adam Sandler and I'll probably always root for him. This film has a bit of an overlong runtime, and by the time it deals with the main character's relationship with his former love, I found it too boring. Otherwise, there was a great cast of actors who were a good match for each other, and I had a good time with them. (05/02/2018)

More of an existential drama than a comedy. And Sandler is good at acting this type of guy and it’s a joy to follow his verbal exchanges with Rogen. The excessive length bothered me a little (I was glued to my armchair in the end), but on the other hand, I don’t know what I would have left out, because I really enjoyed myself the whole time. I also enjoyed the many star cameos. Personally, that Aussie Oz Eric Bana got to me most. :-) (09/12/2009)
