First of all, this movie felt like three movies in one, it was way too long. There are some good laughs here and there, and I thought the plot and characters worked pretty well, but there are simply too many gaps where I was waiting for the next scene & generally waiting for the movie to be over. The drama was nice, it mixed with the comedy pretty well and was heart-warming enough with a cynical edge. Funny People isn't really a black comedy. It feels more like Yes Man and less like American Splendor. Funny people is just OK, but DO NOT watch it in the theatre, you'll get Restless Leg Syndrome. If you're curious, rent it on DVD so you can finish it in sections.
