George is a very successful stand up comedian who learns that he has an untreatable blood disorder and is given less than a year to live. Ira is a struggling up-and-coming stand up comedian who works at a deli and has yet to figure out his onstage persona. One night, these two perform at the same club and George takes notice of Ira. George hires Ira to be his semi-personal assistant as well as his friend. The first hour and a half was fairly entertaining. The tempo of the movie goes from snappy to outright boring and annoying. Sandler was ok. If you must see it, rent it.
