There are only three things to be done with a woman... You can love her, suffer for her, or turn her into literature
Two things... wait, three (sorry Jarrett for missing your show)
1. "Funny People" may be a miss with critic's and audiences, but if you can enjoy the crass humor that permeates in "40-year old Virgin" and "Knocked up" with the seriousness of a Focus Feature film than this movie is right up your alley... Its really amusing to see characters being played by people who don't have to reach that far outside their own personal lives (I'm sure Adam Sandler can relate to being a 40-something actor whose had insane success as a comedian and is dizzied/disoriented/bored with his life and unsure of what to do next. I'm sure Seth Rogen can relate to being an up-and-coming comedian/actor struggling to get by in the face of his other friends success. etc.). This movie resonates so strongly with a lot of it's "hit" moments that it more than makes up for a surprising number of misses from an Judd Apatow/Seth Rogen film (i.e. the majority of the third act). However, the jokes and drama are apt for anyone who has ever felt lost and/or adrift in life... Honestly, this would've probably gotten more love on the internet if they had released it psuedononymously as a Wes Anderson flick
2. my three brothers and I are driving from our hometown in Maryland to San Chino, California in mid-september to drop-off my youngest brother at his doctorate program. I am going to try and blog every day from the road as well as take 234923847234 pictures...
