Funny People isn't what you'd expect. With Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen you're most likely expecting a hilarious comedy, but instead what you're really getting is a drama with humor put in at times. But that being said, it's not a bad thing, it's actually a good thing.
One thing about the movie that it was longer than I expected, it was around two and a half hours long, while some points not holding my attention. For example, George and Ira at Laura's house seemed to drag on just a little too much, and a lot of other scenes could've been cut down.
The movie is written and directed by Judd Apatow so you're going to get really likable characters, that are really funny. Maybe not ALWAYS hilarious in the movie, the comedy scenes are really good. Adam Sandler plays George perfectly, him acting doesn't seem like a movie, it seems real. Seth Rogen also fits his role, the guy who hopes too be a comedian, with the help of George, while Ira helps George himself.
One small thing I'll add before ending this review was there were a lot of great cameos in this movie. Norm McDonald, Ray Romano, Andy Dick, and Justin Long are a few to name. Those are the only cameos I really loved, but I had too mention it.
Overall: 7/10
Pros: Surprisingly sad, funny when it wants too be, everyone is lovable
Cons: Perhaps a bit too long
