Reviews
Hollywood Reporter - A more mature but still funny Judd Apatow comedy..., Empire - An absolute treat. In spite of its disappointing climax, this is ApatowÆs smartest, rudest and -- yes -- funniest film yet., Rolling Stone - It's the work of a major talent. Apatow scores by crafting the film equivalent of a stand-up routine that encompasses the joy, pain, anger, loneliness and aching doubt that go into making an audience laugh., USA Today - FUNNY PEOPLE nimbly intersperses humor and reflection. It is a rumination on mortality, fame and life choices, punctuated with Apatow's trademark raunchy humor., TV Guide - The result is a raucously funny and poignant love letter to standup comics., Variety - Amusing and engaging

Additional Information
Judd Apatow (40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN) casts his former real-life roommate Adam Sandler as George Simmons, a comic superstar who learns in the movie's opening scene that he suffers from a rare blood disorder that will likely kill him within a year. This news gives him the impulse to go back out and work on his stand-up, something he hasn't done in years thanks to the massive success of his movie career. At a club, he meets struggling stand-up Ira Wright (Seth Rogen, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS), takes a shine to him, and hires the young man both to write jokes and to be his personal assistant. Ira, who's been sleeping on a friend's pull-out couch and working a day job at a deli, enjoys the glimpse into the superstar lifestyle, but soon the protΘgΘ discovers how selfish and egocentric his mentor really is.
