From the director of The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up comes Funny People, a comedy film written, directed and co-produced by Judd Apatow. The film stars Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen, and if you’ve enjoyed Judd Apatow’s films in the past then there’s a good chance that you’ll appreciate this one also.
Both Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen play the parts of comedians; Adam Sandler’s character George is highly successful in the trade, Seth Rogen meanwhile plays the role of Ira, a man that is yet to really make his mark on the industry. The film looks as though it’ll have its amusing moments, and whilst it probably won’t offer anything particularly new to its genre; it does look like it’s one that’s worth watching if you’re a fan of the film’s actors/director.
Funny People is due to receive a US release on July 31st, if like me you happen to live in the UK however then the film will be hitting the cinemas on August 28th. There’s still quite a way to go until the film is released; it does look as though it’s going to be a pretty decent one though, and I very much look forward to watching it.
I’ve been very impressed with all of the Seth Rogen films I’ve seen to date, and Adam Sandler also is another comedy actor that I’ve always been quite a fan of. I imagine that these two actors will work well together on screen, and from the looks of the trailer it definitely seems as though Funny People will have some strong humour to offer.
The following is the official trailer for Judd Apatow’s Funny People:
