Funny People (2009) starring Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann, Jonah Hill. Sandler plays comedian George Simmons, who has all the trappings of success but is basically miserable. When he gets a diagnosis of a potentially fatal disease, it makes him reevaluate his life. He hires Ira Wright (Rogen) to be his joke writer and assistant, and the two form an unlikely bond. Unfortunately, the "comedy" performed by the "funny people" in the movie isn't very funny. And Sandler is largely just grating. Plus, the movie is two and a half hours long. The subtitles are good. Grade: C
