Comments on Funny People

Caught Funny People earlier this evening. It's a good flick, but don't go in expecting a straight comedy. It's very much a dramedy, and has the runtime to back it- the flick is just a little under 2.5 hours long.

The comedy comes mostly from the bits of the actual comedians and their interactions with each other, rather than an actual comedic tone with the material itself, if that makes any sense.

Still, it comes across as emotionally true and seems somewhat realistic in it's portrayal of things (Eric Bana and Jason Schwartzman are probably the strangest characters in the movie and even they aren't that off).
