Please take the money and send it to Africa instead.
I'm a very well versed spectator of all themes of films. This movie is the only one I have never, ever been able to finish in one sitting. This is the God's honest truth, myself and ex wife would put this in the DVD player to watch while falling asleep. That isn't a joke(although funnier than anything this title has to offer) or exaggerated. It is, by leaps and bounds, the worst movie I have ever seen. I enjoy dry and dull humor. Napoleon Dynamite, Grind, even Family Guy allow me to chuckle watching them. After about 20 minutes of "Funny People" I found that I was actually pissed off that I paid for this. It is an attempt to be both humorous and dramatic, yet it fails miserably at both. I'm no movie critic and know they look for different things than I to rate them, however I just can't see how it achieved any good reviews. I would have gotten more enjoyment to take my 20 bucks, change them into ones and start a fire. Instead of wasting a dime on this failure, send the money to someone who can use it. This is the first movie in 25 years I threw in the trash. I didn't even want to give it away for fear the person I gave it to would never talk to me again for punishing them. Bottom line, buy something else. Of the great comedians in this film, none were remotely funny or entertaining. It is almost as if they were bored while filming it.
