This movie is exactly what the title says... a movie starring Funny People. The movie itself is really not all that funny. Sure there are some very funny parts, which are mostly the stand-up comedy portions of the film, but it is the people themselves are are funny, not the story, or the scenarios, it all just stems from a lot of dialogue most of which is very dirty.Judd Apatow has made some great films lately... great might be a little far... but Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and The 40 Year Old Virgin were really good. The problem is he has made a lot of crap as well Talladega Nights, Walk Hard, Step Brothers, and Year One to name a few. Which means he is willing to to just about anything, which is a good thing, but the problem is he tries to do too much here. The story lacks direction, changes direction, and feels like there is just a lot of unneeded filler. Clocking in at almost two and a half hours is really unnecessary for a story that has a very small plot.
There are a lot of cameos though, most of which are pretty funny and the only real good part of this film... so you can't cut those. Andy Dick, Norm MacDonald, Dave Attell, Sarah Silverman, Eminem, and Ray Romano to name a few.
Adam Sandler was just ok, Seth Rogen is starting to bore me, Leslie Mann was just ok, Eric Bana was pretty annoying, and Jonah Hill & Jason Schwartzman were pretty funny in their minor roles. A 7 is probably a pretty generous rating, but there were still come pretty good things about this film.
