"Funny People"

“Funny People” starting two of my favorite comedians (Adam Sandler) and (Seth Rogen) in a comedy/ Drama film that will have you laughing and thinking about life. This movie is about George Simmons (Adam Sandler) a very successful yet self-involved stand-up comedian who learns that he has an incurable blood disorder and is given less than a year to live. Ira Wright (Seth Rogen) is a struggling up-and-coming stand-up comedian who works at a deli and has yet to figure out his onstage persona. One night, George takes notice of Ira when they perform at the same club and he hires him to be his semi-personal assistant and opening act at his performances. George and Ira form a close bond as George teaches Ira how to win the crowd and Ira helps the dying George find closure in his legacy. However, when George learns that his disease has gone into remission and an old flame (Leslie Mann) reenters his life, his recent near death experience inspires him to reevaluate what is important to him and what truly gives meaning to his life.

What I really liked about this movie is that I can relate to George, is really funny, and the drama. I can relate to this film because like George I once had that perfect girlfriend that got away because of my mistakes. Also, George knows many people but
