Scribblings

There are a few things that is indisputable in hollywood, one such thing would be the tile “The king of comedy”. And he is Judd Apatow. In the past few years he has either directed or written or produced at least a dozen top notch comedies. He even made heroes of Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Jason Segel.

I was very much looking forward to this movie, he not only produced it but also wrote the screenplay and directed. I’m happy to say that I loved it, na I adored it. Accepted, I went in wanting to love it but I’m also the one to point out when I’m disappointed (Harry Potter, hello!). Funny people did not disappoint, though it’s light on ”Bromance” and a lot less raunchy, the way you have come to expect of a Apatow comedy.

But it’s brim full of “Funny”, the story revolves around a famous and lonely comedian George Simmons done so convincingly by Adam Sandler. George hears the bad news from his doctor that he is terminally ill and puts him on an experimental drugs. Here on what happens to him physically is immaterial but what been done differently is that he does not turn into a saint and undoes all wrongs in his life. Instead, he just goes on being his selfish self. I wont spoil the fun for you guys

But I got to say that, there is good chemistry between Seth Rogen and Adam Sandler, and the beautiful Leslie Mann is ever so funny. I would definitely go on record and say that this has been the best movie of this summer. Sure some would complain its long and dry but Apatow finds ingenious ways to show us a peek into stand up comedy world and this is a much more personal outing for the King.
