Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

loisonanna Very boring movie, story is missing some spice. Nothing special, not even to pass the time

Mr Black Well, I only go this movie because Adam Sandler is in it. I find he makes one good movie, one bad, one good, one bad..So thought' I'd take a chance. It's an okay story with good performances, but wow, there IS a lot of things wrong with this. For starters, it's a re-hashed story from 'The Great Buck Howard." - almost exactly, in terms of the two main characters. Show biz big guy gets an assistant and treats him badly. Assistant finally leaves and they meet again later. Been there, done that. Now about the humour. Maybe this is just an indication of how stupid society has become, but seriously,, I got bored of the penis jokes after about the 5000th one. One per movie might be funny, but after one you're flogging a dead horse. Seriously.? Penis jokes are funny when you're ten. When your a grown adult, it's just embarrassing unless you have an IQ below 80 and live in a hillybilly log cabin or something. The only thing here is, at first George Simmons was dying. In the Great Buck Howard he wasn't.

SnoopyStyle George Simmons (Adam Sandler) is a rich famous jaded comedian who finds out that he dying from leukemia. He's lonely and regrets his relationship with his ex Laura (Leslie Mann). Ira Wright (Seth Rogen) is a struggling young standup. One night, George makes a surprise appearance at the comedy club with Ira following him. George hires Ira to write for him and Ira becomes his best and possibly only friend.Adam Sandler reunites with his former roommate and now writer/director Judd Apatow. He is playing a sadder angrier version of his persona. The use of real life old footage helps sell this character. The subject matter can be challenging and makes for some awkward moments. He's a self-loathing character at the start. On the other hand, Seth Rogen is unadulterated adorableness. He's the low man with his roommates Leo Koenig (Jonah Hill) and mildly-successful douche Mark Taylor Jackson (Jason Schwartzman). He is hilarious. I love his fake crying. And Daisy (Aubrey Plaza) is just as adorable.This is overflowing with comedians. Sometimes it feels like they're passing the torch. The story with Laura gets a little more awkward than necessary. It would be easier for Laura to be a single parent. Although the fight with Clarke (Eric Bana) is funny. This is growth for Apatow stretching out from the gross out outlandish humor or weed humor from Seth Rogen.

alsation72 Seeing Adam Sandler on a stage trying to attempt "stand-up" comedy - which I presume was improvised - makes you realise how truly unfunny he is. It is quite awkward to watch, because not even a room of people paid to play a comedy act's audience can muster up much laughter at all. Definitely a few cringe moment to be had.Its as though he thinks his mere presence and personality are so wonderful that he doesn't need to do much. The guy is about as funny as a dead puppy.The unlikely friendship that develops between Sandler's character and Rogen's really has no decent chemistry; and because this is a major plot device the film is just doomed. Seth Rogen was not funny here either.So this is a whole lot of banter between a disparate group of "funny people". It is boring and desperate to manage even one iota of humour. Its just an embarrassment.
