What Funny People Should Have Been.

Rating: 9/10 (27 September 2011)

I am giving this movie 8 out of 10 just because I am super picky. I loved this movie!! I was lucky to catch a pre screening of the movie and have been waiting for the final version of the movie for a while.
This movie is exactly what Funny People should have been. I found most of the situations in Funny People unrealistic and over the top and therefore had trouble relating to the story or the characters. As someone who has last several loved-ones to cancer, I know that seeing cancer in a "comedy" can be difficult for some. This movie was a perfect balance of comedy and drama. It brings a certain amount of peace with the idea of death (much like Darren Aronovsky's The Fountain).
The comedy is very "Seth Rogan", and not for all, but I thought it fit the film perfectly!!
