Review: Funny People

First impression, I really liked this movie. It has it all. It's vulgar, a little dark, it invokes emotion and it has a pretty good story. Now let me add my real two cents. (SPOILER ALERT) They should have killed George off. That would have ended the movie about an hour sooner which they needed to any way. No comedy should ever be two and a half hours long...period. Apatow's first, The 40 Year Old Virgin, clocks in at just over two hours and I remember thinking that shit was too long as well. That being said, I would not have killed off the main character just to end to movie sooner. It makes the whole thing more memorable. You would have everyone in that theater walking out with tears in their eyes like Adam Sandler had really died. You play a little montage of funny moments over some good music as the credits roll to lighten it up a bit and BAM.... People would be talking about it all the way to their cars. Instead people are just wondering where the hell they parked because they have been in a movie theater for two and a half damn hours.
Final thoughts...go see this movie, just make sure your significant other takes the "big purse" and fills it with plenty of snacks. I'll give it 4 quick trips to the bathroom
