Funny People Reviews, Interviews & More
We watch a lot of movie trailers here at ScreenCrave, and, as we inch closer to summer with its ever-increasing torrent of new films, we're seeing more and more previews with each passing day. As we do so, we can't help but notice some similarities, repetitions, and clichés among them. Here at Trailer Park, we'll be offering a rundown of those clichés, where they come from, and which...
Overall, this was a rather slow weekend for cinemas. We were right in our our box office predictions -- Funny People was not able to break past the dreaded $30 million mark that both Apatow and Sandler seem to be fighting these days. It did however manage to come in at number one at the box office and my guess is that it will be one of those comedies that hangs around...
This week, Judd Apatow's Funny People hits theaters, and since Harry Potter has already been knocked off the number one spot, it seems like there is no doubt that Apatow will dominate the box office.
Last week, G-Force took the number one spot making over $30 million on its opening weekend, while Harry...
Adam Sandler is back to what he does best, making us laugh. In Judd Apatow's Funny People Sandler joins funny men Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill in a film about a seasoned comedian who finds out he doesn't have much time to live. Hope the movie is as good as the hype has been.Another film definitely worth...
This weekend we get Judd Apatow's new star-studded comedy Funny People with Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Eric Bana, Leslie Mann, Jonah Hill, and Jason Schwartzman. The film makes fun of the people in it, as much as it makes fun of itself and is by far one of the smartest comedies in theaters right now.
Check out the good, the bad, and the plot...
I'm not really surprised that director Judd Apatow has signed on to an exclusive deal with Universal Pictures. All three of the films he's helmed have been under the studio's banner. He's produced for other companies, but he's only directed through them. According to Variety, Universal has made it official and Apatow has signed on to a three picture directing...
Judd Apatow directs Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, and Leslie Mann amongst several other hilarious actors in his third film, Funny People. The film hits theaters tomorrow on July 31, and promises to deliver comedy, drama, and everything in between for it's viewing audience. The story centers on a successful comedian named...
Universal has released a red band trailer for Judd Apatow's third film, Funny People. The feature stars Adam Sandler as a successful comedian named George Simmons, who's unfortunately diagnosed with a terminal illness. In the wake of this news, he decides to become a mentor to a young aspiring comedian named, Ira (Seth...
Here's a piece of casting news that's finally come to fruition. A while back rap artist Eminem stated that he would make an appearance in the upcoming Judd Apatow film, Funny People. Over at MTV they've verified this by publishing a production still featuring the musician and the film's star, Adam Sandler. Funny...
A movie within a movie. Clever. FunnyorDie has just released a new clip from Judd Apatow's upcoming comedy Funny People starring Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, and Leslie Mann. In the film, Sandler plays commedian George Simmons, whose job has resulted in mindless, slap-stick comedy, and who has just been...
As it turns out, TV spots come in threes! So the Funny People TV spot that we posted yesterday was merely getting us started. I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing that all these spots are extremely similar. It's good because they don't give too much of the film away, but it also makes you wonder if they have enough to make three different spots?
I'm banking...
Judd Apatow's new movie Funny People, starring Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen hits theaters in about two months. We have seen a few different trailers and some photos, but below is the first TV spot for the film and surprisingly there's a lot of new footage in it. The film definitely has a different tone from the rest of...
Look, it's a bunch of "funny people!" Yes, that was a horrible play on words but its the truth. The above photo features one of the many behind the scenes photos I came across on ComingSoon. Funny People is the latest comedy from Judd Apatow, and features Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Jason Schwartzman. Apatow recently spoke about how it was to direct...
I was a little worried about this film but after watching this trailer I think there is hope. Not because of the "I'm dying" plot line, but because they are making Eric Bana and not Adam Sandler the comic relief. I prefer serious Sandler, he's more funny. It seems like they're not trying to force humor onto us. They've given us a simple pitch, with some subtle...
To say that Seth Rogen had a very good ‘07-‘08 run would be a gross understatement. No other actor under thirty, save for Michael Cera, has crashed the spotlight so readily. Knocked Up literally put his face all over town, but then he unleashed the perverse, endearing Superbad (as brilliant as Cera’s work is, the point still goes to Rogen), and built a cache of action cred...
