Funny People

Overall in my life I've just been getting by. I'll be the first to admit being an overachiever is far from my resume. The little small things that I have accomplished in my life is pretty much what everyone else has done. Recently I've registered myself back into school due to some out of my control circumstances. With this, I consider my second chance to actually so something in my life. The good thing is I haven't been around anyone that knew they were dying soon. I've had conversations with some people about what I would try to do if I knew that my time was up. The closest I've ever been feeling that way was when I took my HIV test. Just for the record I am negative but between the time I wasn't sure was very stressful. When someone finds out that they're dying all of a sudden everything isn't taken for granted.

The plot of this movie is about a comedian George Simmons (Adam Sandler) finding about that he's dying from a form of cancer. With his mind pretty much on the down side of everything he looks for a writer to write his jokes for him. Ira Wright (Seth Rogan) was the lucky one that had to open for George and George seen some potential in Ira. Ira was a man struggling on his own, living with two other comedians Leo Koenig (Jonah Hill) and Mark Taylor Jackson (Jason Schwartzman) that was doing better than him. Now that Ira has a good job writing for George his self esteem was going out the window because he's being treated like crap from George. After some meds that George had to take he became healed from his drama. Trying to convince his ex-wife Laura (the hot girl Leslie Mann) to be back with him because he was sick back fired on him in a terrible way. With a lot of things changing because he was dying on the other hand most things stayed the same.

I can confidently say that this movie is a good one. I loved the combination of Seth and Adam. Although it wasn't as good as the combo of Adam and Kevin but it was good. I was a little confused about what the main lesson was in this movie because of the ups and downs of George. My conclusion was that you should never take anyone for granted. I'm not sure if this movie is still in theaters or not but if it is without question go and see this one.
