^ I just love Barbra Streisand. Ryan O'neal was very good too. A very funny movie by Peter Bogdanovich.


^ It was kind of cute, a bit too melodramatic at times. I smiled all the way through the film, which is also good. It's a nice safe picture.

I grew up with cheesy 70's films such as Earthquake etc and will suspend disbelief as I know it's just a film and the creative people keep that on side. With Day After Tomorrow- it was OTT but you sort of cared for a character or two and it had an arc but 2012 was bloated beyond belief and I didn't give 2 craps who survived.

I like cheese and enjoy it but get it right please!

I can't stand the 70s cheesy stuff, so I try and avoid it. But the Day After Tomorrow when I was watching it I felt like it's so bad... it's good. But I couldn't be arsed with exactly the same thing with 2012. A little cheese is good here and there but the director Emmerich really is useless. He's done 3 or 4 bad end of the world things, but things like 2012 sell at the box office because a load of people that don't really know about films just go for the special effects which is annoying when smaller films don't do that well but are far better, despite lacking fancy special effects.

Was there no saving grace from 2012?

Made by one of our finest DJ's (Don Letts) it could be forgiven to be U.K biased but in fact it dedicates a huge running time to the American scene and remained unbiased. Pity about the last ten minutes but if you watch closely it was actually ridiculing the bands it featured.

Good. Not great.

I really did like it. The music is good throughout the movie. Fun references here and there. The director seems like he had fun in the making. It might seem all over place, that's cause it's so obviously a debut.

After IMDBing the movie, the director Marc Webb had only made 3 music documentaries, and a short before this first feature length fictional film. It all seems overcharged with everything a film-student usually likes to try in his first movie. That's why the un-perfection of the film, made it easier for us to identify with the characters. Specially in the 20s years, when all our decisions are known to have major impacts on the future, and when many failures are bound to present themselves along the way.

Another long one but an excellent film nonetheless...

I don't think I ever cried that much watching a movie. How dare they label it as a comedy. And wow, it was the best cry in my life.

I think it just all seemed true. Beginning with Adam Sandler's home movies, and footages of his first gigs, then him as a grown up depressed comedian. Watching that film, after noticing how all my favourite comedians suffered from depression from Peter Sellers to Sarah Silverman. Then his Andy Kaufman moment on the piano and then Adam Sandler sings Lennon's "Real Love". I truly did crack up. Then of course, another Lennon song, with the ending credits.

It just was so familiar. That curse of the comedian, the sad clown, that somehow no one realises how unhappy he is underneath this phoney disgusting mask.
Just loved it. Laughed out loud while crying. It just doesn't get better than that.

P.S I do tear up at everything usually, after 8.00 AM (and now it's 10.30 AM - so that might be the reason behind my overemotional eyes)

I was coming in to post this exact thing ! Cried so much.

And laughed lots too Eminem cameo was genius.

Hmm im actually a little surprised how positive those comments are about Funny People. I might actually put that film on my to-watch list.

Absolutely brilliant. Ima huge fan of Shaun of the Dead and of course the comparisons between the two are unavoidable. I could never quite decide whether that should make me excited to watch it or apprehensive. I feel this film stands it on own though. Of course you have to compare the two as its a similar idea but this isn't simply a rip off. Brutal, violent, zombie slayings to a rock and roll soundtrack. Lots of laughs. An absolutely hilarious cameo from Bill Murray. Whats not to like?

Now, i like dumb comedy films. I dont go into them expecting a work of genius or anything particularly intellectual. This however may be the dumbest dumb comedy i have seen in a long, long time. I always thought this would be terrible and a bit of a chick-flick but it actually wasnt that at all. Im not quite sure what to make of it though. It was funny in places. Uma Thurman was actually very amusing as the crazy, emotional screw up her character is but maybe overall it was actually just a bit TOO dumb.

Its no secret that Ricky Gervais acting skills are somewhat limited. This role however was very suited to him. Its nothing new for him but its a typical Gervais role which helps his ability to take the lead. Greg Kinnear really helped him elevate his game as well by giving those two alot of scenes together throughout. Not an amazing rom-com by any means but quite a cute idea and enjoyable all the same i thought.
