Funny People: Review
Reading time: approximately 1 minutesFunny People: Review

Just back from seeing Funny People at the cinema. Had high hopes for it, but I found it a little bizarre. The story was undoubtedly very good, and certainly there were parts that were funny, others that were poignant and others that offered a fascinating glimpse behind the facade of fame, but ultimately I thought the whole thing was a bit of an unwieldy mess. The writing felt rather slap dash, and failed to carry what could have been a fascinating story. Unfortunately, quite a lot of it was not especially funny either, with far too much reliance on the F word for my liking. Not a film that I would particularly recommend!
