Review of Funny People (2009) by Heather S — 04 Dec 2011

I didn't like this movie the first time I watched it, although was bored last night and there was nothing else on so gave it another shot. I will say I liked it better the second time and was able to appreciate a little more the story as well as some of the standup.

This movie, though, has all the quintessential "heroes" of our time in it, whose roles in life are to work at deli counters, have affairs, drink a lot, and tell dick and ball jokes, which is disappointing in the greater conversation of what has happened to our priorities and roles in life.

Three stars because it was nice to see all the cameos.
