Funny People
Last night I went to see Funny People. The marketing campaign leading up to the film made me really excited to see the film.
Schwartzman as Funny People character Mark Taylor Jackson's terrible sitcom Yo Teach! made me giggle.
Aziz Ansari as RAAAAAAAANDY! ("with eight a's") is probably the funniest video I've scene in months.
I knew that cast was going to be incredible. I'd heard the movie was going to be long though. Normally I hate long movies (I walked out of Lord of The Rings, because it got BORiiiing) but I figured it would be worth it for this movie.
And you know what, it worked. The movie was too long, especially in the typical Apatow style of sticking an 'Oscar-worthy-performance melodrama' halfway through the film. But it still worked.
I hope when it gets released on DVD, there is a feature, where RAAAAAAAANDY interrupts all of the melodramatic scenes.
I guarantee something happened the screening we went to, that probably won't happen in your viewing of the film.
As the credits started rolling, a man and a woman, who did not come together, started fighting. Fists were thrown, and spectators, considered intervening. It almost resembled a scene we'd witnessed an hour before.
I can only imagine that the woman was irritated by the length of the film, and assumed that the man she was sitting next to was responsible, so she took it out on him. Street justice.
Anyway, I'd recommend that you watch the film and then review it for the Rotten Tomatoes Show.
Ta ta.
