"I don't know how to fight, I'm a comedian!" - See Judd Apatow's FUNNY PEOPLE trailer!

by Matt Holmes

Judd Apatow; you are the master of making me laugh uncontrollably and at the same time really feel that big sting, that big lump at the back of my throat. And it really looks like FUNNY PEOPLE could be your best yet. There's a depth to it that far outreaches THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN and KNOCKED UP, both of which had lots more on their minds than the usual rom-com. Universal have released a very long trailer for the film that stars Adam Sandler as a comedian who finds out he is dying and becomes close to the young comedian he has recently taken under his wing (Seth Rogen). The usual Apatow cast supports, with an Aussie accented Eric Bana joining in this time.

Apatow really seems to have notched up the Hollywood sheen of the movie. Looks damn beautiful. It really works and you know how I know it works? Because I'm excited for it and it stars Adam Sandler. So there ya go! Thanks once again to First Showing for the heads-up and the awesome trailer link! Will I be this teary eyed come July 31st, still unsure as to whether I am laughing or crying?
