this past weekend i went to see "funny people" with tarrah. we originally wanted to see "whatever works," which is written by woody allen and has larry david starring in it. if anyone was destined to be in a woody allen movie it's him. the movie was supposed to show in kent, but apparently not for long because it didn't last a week there. so "funny people" it was instead... bummer. guess we wait for the dvd to come out....
funny people was hmmm. pretty funny.... at least up until the end where it seemed to drag on a bit too long. about 30-45 minutes too long IMO. i haven't really dug alot of adam sandlers movies--in fact any of them--until this one, so if you hate adam sandler movies, this one might be worth checking out. its not all potty humor and pull my finger jokes, though there are some. there's an actual story in it about a famous comedian / movie star that gets a form of leukemia, keeps it secret and hired a nobody comedian to be his assistant and confidant. it gives a behind the scenes view of a famous person keeping up the fascade for the public.
we saw it during "balloon fest" which i guess is where a bunch of hot air balloons fly around and somehow tie in to the football hall of fame. um yeah. whatever. of course the theater was directly under the fireworks display, so we missed the dialogue for probably 10 minutes. after the grand finale the theater gave a half-assed round of applause for the fireworks, lol.
