'Funny People' (2009) directed by Judd Apatow

Pretty good movie. It's not really a comedy so much as a drama with some quirky characters and that Apatow sensibility. It does have funny moments but a lot of those come from when the stand up comic characters are telling jokes as part of their routines. Overall, I really enjoyed the film although the last thirty minutes or so (particularly the scenes with Eric Bana) felt overlong and a bit messy. Up until then though, the movie really held my intention and was thoroughly entertaining. The relationship between the two main characters played by Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen was engaging and the film played around with some really interesting themes.
