Yesterday Big Man and I went to go see the new Judd Apatow movie 'Funny People' for our date night, and to be honest, it wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be.
I know alot of people I talked to were excited to see it and I was too, how couldn't I be? The trailer looked good, and it had Seth Rogen, Adam Sandler, Leslie Mann, and Jonah Hill who are people I look to to get a guaranteed laugh.
Don't get me wrong, their were some parts that were funny. Their was ALOT of penis jokes and a couple good quips here and there but some scenes just dragged on too much for my liking. I wish there would have been more stand-up (when they were doing comedy routines) scenes and less of others but oh well.
I understand that this wasn't another stoner movie (Knocked up, Pineapple Express etc.) and that this had a serious undertone to it but don't name a movie 'Funny People' and not bring your funny 'A' game.
My review: Wasn't technically disappointed but wasn't impressed either. Nothing to write home to your mama about.

In other news:
The funniest thing (well to us) happened in the parking lot after the movie.
You know how if your in a parking lot and your waiting for a spot you usually sit there with your blinker on to let people know that's yours and your waiting for it. Well there's was a lady sitting there in her BMW waiting for her spot as were walking through the parking spot. Soon as we walked through the spot, some old man whipped his beat up light blue Buick right in the spot.
Obviously this pissed the lady off and she started honking her her horn, rolling down her window and screaming at the guy.
Let's take a minute and review this:
- It's an older couple..give them a damn break, let them have the closer parking spot
- He saw you and pulled in anyway, you think he gives a shit if you honk your horn at him, I think not
- You look like an ass now cause your screaming at old people.
Big Man and I laughed the whole way back to the car after witnessing that. That old man was a G with his shit! :)

After all that Big Man and I picked up a 12 pack of Yuengling Lager (my hometown, holla!), his birthday gift (an iPod dock) and chilled on our patio bullshitting, listening to music, and enjoying a healthy dinner of chicken wings and macaroni and cheese.. we keep it classy! :)
Hope everyone is having great weekend!

That does sound classy, my kind of night. I havn't heard any reviews of that movie yet, so I'm glad to hear what you have to say. The parking space thing is too funny. That lady needs to get over it - who would get that upset by some old people - honestly? Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Yuengling Lager is hubbys all time favorite beer and I love it too :)
p.s. I heard that the movie itself was just okay and that some of the jokes got really old really fast.. I think we will wait until this one comes out on DVD!
Ah, that is kind of disappointing about the movie. I knew it was a more "serious" movie, but I guess if we see it we'll lower our expectations as far as the comedy aspect.
Yuengling is Kenny's fave too :)
Sorry to hear the movie wasn't great. I have not heard great reviews-I'll probably wait to see it at the dollar theatre. Have you seen I Love You Man? It is hysterical! Hubs and I love it!! It comes out on video Aug. 11!
Bummer about the movie. I was hoping it was going to be GREAT. Guess I'll wait to watch it until it comes out on DVD.
Yuengling is my hubby's favorite, too! And I would love to spend an evening listening to music on the porch and drinking a few beers... mmm.. sounds lovely!
Sounds like a great night! Glad you had fun. :)
I totally agree with your movie review. I was expecting more but it wasnt horrible =D I need to check out this beer you all are raving about! =D
I'm so glad someone did review on this movie! I read some online and didn't hear the most fabulous things about it! Thanks for sharing how you felt about it!! :)
I'm bummed that the movie wasn't all you thought it would be :(
I will probably still go see it, but I won't have super high hopes. :)
And,... YUENGLING!?!?! *sigh*
I love Yuengling. We do not have it here in Ohio (I know, ridic, right?? PA right there?!). But in ONE WEEK exactly, I will be sippin' on some Yuengling. :)
holla to yuengling!
Stinks that the movie wasn't as good as you hoped. We haven't seen it because we couldn't quite figure out what the deal was... it was one of those where you couldn't quite tell what the plot was all about from the previews that they've shown around here, you know? Anyway, as for the lady in the parking lot- people are nuts all around. Seriously. -e
Wow this movie was totally on my list to see. Hmm might have to hold off now. All of his movies are kind of the same, I wish he would learn to cut the unnecessary 20 minutes from it because it totally can drag it down.
thanks for the review, I think I will wait for it to come out on video.
