New Restricted FUNNY PEOPLE trailer hits!
Hey folks, Harry here - before I was attacked by the hilarity of BRUNO - they showed a new trailer for FUNNY PEOPLE that's a bit filthier than than regular trailers can be - and the perfect appetizer to get you in the mood for BRUNO. That said - FUNNY PEOPLE has great buzz going on it. The couple of people I know that have seen it are saying that it could very well be Apatow's best film to date. That'd be good. All I know is I really dig this trailer...

-
and amazing trailer! can't wait for this
-
Just to distinguish this for the other 100 movies his name has been on in the last 4 years.
-
Just hope it's not a huge downer. I want to laugh, if I wanted to cry about cancer and dying I'd go see My sisters keeper. Just saying.
-
Tarantino does this shit too. Not sure if the studio pulls this shit, either way, it's lame. Spielberg, Scorsese can get away with it. Not Apatow. Not Tarantino.
-
Not that it makes it better. I hope the fat kid from Superbad doesn't pulling his yelling fit in this movie. It's Chris Tucker in Fifth Element annoying.

Leslie Mann not believable as object of desire
by alexandradupontsbellybutton
People give Katherine Heigl shit for bashing Knocked up, but she's right. Both she and Mann are excruciatingly unlikable in that film.
-
...and I liked Chris Tucker in the 5th Element...
-
SWEEEET! Anyone who has not listened to Wilco before. Go out right now and pick up there whole catalog you will not be disappointed.
-
Leslie Mann is smoking i would hit it in a Second.
-
these guys make me laugh
-
AGREED!!!! Favorite band.
On a side note, anyone in Des Moines, IA NOT seeing Josh Ritter is an idiot. -
Don't pick up Ghost is Born. You WILL be disappointed. Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Sky Blue Sky for the trifecta.
-
Apatow's refusal to employ only yes men in his editing room kills any goodwill I have to see any of his future flicks...and I like Wilco's new single--when Tom Petty released it as Jamming Me 22 years ago.
-
Mann was supposed to be unlikeable, Heigle was not but then I guess that just proves which one is a better actress.
-
Thats not saying much now is it Harry? compared to great comedies of the past, apatow films with his merry bunch of idiots really pale in comparison. Is this what we call comedy these days?
-
I disagree...YHF, Being There, Ghost is Born, FTW
-
A real comic actress like Amy Pohler would've made that trailer funnier.
-
Yup. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and Ghost is Born are my favs. Anyone looking for an introduction to the band should pick up the live double disc, Kicking Television, because their live sets are where they excel. Tweedy and Nels are two sick fuckers are guitar...
-
finally, with this and District 9, some films to actually anticipate this summer !!
-
Live sets are better than discs, I definitely agree with that. My wife and I have seen them 5 times in the past couple years, and plan to see them the next time they are withing driving distance.
Too bad they only treated the west coast to the shows with Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band as the opener -

Is this the one where two emo yuppies do a meta-home invasion?
by starwarsredux
If so, cool. I'd love to see Seth Rogen get butchered off-screen while Adam Sandler begs for his life.
-
that you show are Sandler, Rogen, and Hill????? WOW, this film was made by Advertisers!!!!
-
called Baywatch
-
but not from me...
-
thats gonna throw people for a loop in this "feel good comedy"
-
THE WRESTLER!
-
suck dick like a daisy chain Ouroburous!
-
CANCER!!!! what an awful trailer.
-
was that meant to be a funny trailer? Is this a comedy or is it a "bromance" movie?
-
and it wasn't even mentioned in the trailer! Too many cooks spoil the broth, wouldn't you say Apatow (cough, cough, sellout!!)
-
or leslie mann. jonah hill, be my guest
-
Enuff reason not to watch????
-
this one is just the entire exposition of the thing squeezed into two minutes so when i see it in the theater i have to endure a half hour of set up i already know. fuck this trailer!
-
I just don't get why all of the stand up they've shown in both trailers and tv spots is completely, ridiculously unfunny. I mean if you laughed at those jokes you have no sense of humor. Maybe they're saving the actually funny jokes for the movie? And what the hell kind of red band trailer is that? Schwarzman says 1 fuck and that's the only r rated content in the trailer!
-
Which is about enough to make me pay matinee price for a ticket.

The fatter Rogen gets, the more he sounds like Jeff Garlin
by yackbacker
And you know Rogen will eat and smoke his way to Garlin's weight within 10 years. And then we'll all look back at this time and say "Hey, remember that dude on AICN... wtf was his name, YackStacker? I dunno, but yeah, he fucking called this shit, the Nostradamus of fatties. I wonder if he's still sitting in his mommy's attic calling people preemptively fat."
-
rules.
-
All I got out of the that was ball in her mouth joke. Was that why it go the Red Band? I didn't hear or see anything else that would constitute it. Did I miss something? Did Eric Bana say shit, because I think he says hot.
-
The previous ones focused more on the guy dieing and being sentimental and all. This ones shows that there are actual funny scenes in the film.
-
hes actually getting skinnier..he actually looks sickly...too much yayo.
-
But A Ghost is born has so many killer tracks on it. Hell Is Chrome, Kidsmoke, Handshake drugs, Wishful Thinking, I'm a wheel, Theologians..... I could go on and on. But diffrent strokes for diffrent strokes.
-
WTF?!??!
-
i thought that trailer was pretty average... would be very surprised if this turns out good
-
no Banks Rudd or the dude from How I Met Your Mother and Sarah Marshall...I think they are the only ones missing from the Apatow Rep CompanyOne thing I do whenever I get overly excited about an Aptaow film is remember he produced KICKING AND SCREAMING, it helps temper me, something more AICN staff should do when they get their Aptaow hard-on
-
And it would have still sucked.
-
The first song on the trailer is by Dr. Dog. Awesome group.

That's a better trailer than the last one, which was terrible
by d.vader
That first trailer for the film, in which they reveal that he thinks he's dying then it turns out he's not and yadda yadda yadda looked terrible cheesy and was shamelessly imitating James L Brooks. This trailer looks much better. Much funnier too. But strangely, this trailer felt very Wes Anderson. What's up with that? Does this film have an original voice?
-
Which I think everyone would rather like to forget.
-
LOL!

what is this Drillbit Taylor you speak of
-
...I won't see it. I haven't seen an Adam Sandler film since The Wedding Singer...wait, let's do this AICN style...since THE WEDDING SINGER and I liked that one. The problem is that the Big Daddy trailer had that bit of him bellowing about giving the kid some candy and that broke the back; I never saw another Adam Sandler flick hence. He has two modes: bellowing jock asshole moron and baby-voiced retard which he uses for his "serious" work. When Little, whoops, LITTLE NICKY tanked, I hoped Hollywood would snap out of their bad habit of giving him money and putting him in films, but nooooooooooooooo!!! He's like Nicolas Cage without the talent or hope of accidentally making a good movie occasionally.
I dig Apatow (though he really needs to learn how to edit out superfluous stuff) and like the whole rest of the cast, but until they find a way to replace Sandler with a less annoying person - like Jar Jar Binks or Ryan Seacrest - it looks like I'll be missing this one. You can't have a movie called FUNNY PEOPLE with Adam Sandler in it. FUNNY PEOPLE (PLUS ADAM SANDLER) would be the more truthful title. -
Stupid style book.
-
The trailer doesn't really sell this movie well. Like its not like the tight mini-skirt I have on right now that sells how reamable my ass is. Its more like me blue baggy pants that I paid two bucks for at KMART for. Get a better trailer out there and I might let you stick it in me where the sun don't shine. If you don't I'll only give you fingering rights. One finger only.
-
they're written by subhumans, morlocks, even, who dwell below ground level and are still made because you made fun of people who are still virgins at 40. that shit just hits way too close to home here. and this movie looks fucking great. god i caught a bit of knocked up on cable the other night in the background, the fight in the car, and it blew me the fuck away. it's exactly the hurtful kind of argument you have in a heated moment in a real relationship, PAINFULLY so.
-
Look I'm not saying he is a comedy genius or anything but I don't understand the hate toward his movies and the people he puts in his movies. Do you not get the humor? If you do, do you just not like it? Or is it the hate the hype syndrome?
Personally I think a lot of his movies are very refreshing in this day and age of comedies based on one dimensional premises(Cough Ben Stiller cough)as they provide plots and humor that are based on the characters and stem from the characters (Superbad/Forgetting S.M./Pineapple do that the best methinks) as opposed to characters who are based on the plot and are only what the plot need them to be (Tropic Thunder/Zohan/What Happens in Vegas comes to mind). I like that a lot of humor comes from everyday conversations ("My uncle had a ho-runner") and not sight-gags/ridiculous situations (Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder).
So I just ask one person from the anti-appatow camp to list WHY they dislike his movies. I do not want to judge or argue or convince you to like them, I just want to how the other shoe fits, out of curiosity. -
"Are you mad that you died at the end of Die Hard?"
I think that is the first time Sandler has ever made me laugh out loud. LMAO. -
Now THAT was a great comedy. Great characters you cared about, great performances, great comedic situations. True classic. Comparatively speaking, Appatow and his movies aren't even trying. Appatow movies are like a half step above PORKY'S only not as funny, more like PORKY'S 2: PORKY'S REVENGE.
-
"Appatow movies are like a half step above PORKY'S only not as funny, more like PORKY'S 2: PORKY'S REVENGE." can you elaborate on why you think this? again just curiosity. I don't see where you get the gap between not living up to a true classic and being just above a crappy teen comedy series? It's kinda like saying "because she's not as hot as Jessica Alba, I would be barely more willing to screw her than I would Barbera Bush" I'm not mocking or insulting I just don't see how not living up to one of the funniest American movies ever, means the creators are not trying.
But good call on P,T and A. great character based movie. -
Best song of theirs?? Die,Die,Die gets my vote.
-
I do agree that her character was very unlikeable, but to me that is what it would have been like in real life. It seems like what they were trying to portray in the flick was that this uber hot chick on the cusp of her career really taking off in the hollywood insider industry was derailed because one night she got a little too fucked up from celebrating and slept with a guy she wouldn't have given the time of day to if she was sober.
Now imagine if this scenario had played out in real life. Either A) she would have immediately aborted or b)she probably would have attempted to keep the baby and either raise it herself or only see the guy minimaly out of sheer embarassment and overrating her own self worth.
That is the one aspect of the movie to me that seemed unrealistic is that she actually stayed with Ben, because in real life, especially in a place like Hollywood, CA stuck up bitches like that never do the right thing. Hell I know chicks that are purely wannabees that still act like that. -
I expect many ass kissing reviews.
-
Some of you fucking assclowns make a fool of yourselves on a regular basis. Judd Apatow is the best thing to happen to comedy in years.
-
is terrifying me, she looks like boy george post op, the women at comic con are actually hotter than that, who the fuck advertises a singles site with the worst fucking most hideous visage on earth
-
From where? When did any Sandler movie get GOOD buzz?
-
If it were more realistic, that kind of girl would of had that baby aborted in a heart beat. Also some girl willing to bang a creepy dude after a night on the town is probably on birth control. When was the last time you came across a 20 something single that was taking the pill?
-
Jesus Christ, terminal cancer is funnier. Punchline with Sally Field is like 20 times funnier.
-
wilco is very cool, hearing great things about the new album, but you should pay heed to boone and senatorjeffersonsmith.
dr. dog is simply incredible, every time i listen to them, i cream myself to their three part harmonies and become stymied over why noone listens to them. do yourself a favor, everyone. mr. senator... good call with die, die, die. i just saw them in concert (which was, you guessed it, amazing), but they unfortunately did not play that one. rocked the shit out of my friend (the one in the trailer) tho -
The reason Freaks and Geeks and 40 year Old Virgin worked so good was that Apatow and Family actually lived through most of that stuff. It felt real and was funny. Knocked Up never happened to anyone, thats why the funniest parts of that movie was the stuff between Rudd and The Wife because thats what they lived. Non of them are washed up stand up's so I don't see this working. Write what you lived, its what works best. Same with Superbad, that was probably based off of shit Seth and his lover went through in high school.
-
All he did was take what they did in the original American Pie movie and turn it into a formula: raunchy buddy sex comedy (ex. Porkys) + romantic comedy with sensitivity to female characters.
-
Freaks and Motherfucking Geeks. If Judd Apatow did nothing else in his career, he'd still get a lifetime pass.
-
About time somebody tapped his comedy genius. If you saw his segment in Coffee and Cigarettes, you know what I'm talking about. "That don't sound too good, Bill Murray".
-
So yeah the closest thing I got so far is 2 comparisons to Porky's and 1 to american pie but no explaination as to what they thinks makes appatow like porky's. No examples, nothing.
I can only conclude that it is merely I don't get it so I think it's stupid which is frankly a simple minded and intolerant way of looking at things. C'mon someone please muster up the intelligence to explain their hate.
As to "All he did was take what they did in the original American Pie movie and turn it into a formula" that is a simple view of it. AP drew it's humor from finding different ways to put character into gross/embarrassing situations, and while some appatow movies have a couple moments like that the real humor comes from the characters and their interaction with each other (The simple fact that James Franco had a cowboy and Indian toy set on his bed in Pineapple, Comparing Heigl throwing up to Jabba the Hut Dying, etc.), the situational humor is usually the weakest part of an appatow movie. The closest to verbal humor the pie movies get are MILF which is less funny and more of just a new word for kids to say and shit-break, again not all that funny especially since it is only meant to lead into a diarrhea pay off joke at the end.
I didn't want to argue these points, I was hoping just to hear WHY people disliked appatow, but since I get at best narrow minded half-answers I can only assume is that your simple brains associate any movie with buddies and foul language as the same genre as Porky's and american pie (or you base opinions soley on trailers).
chumps -
I'd be hard pressed to name a favorite of theirs. Their strong songs are amazing, and their weaker songs are just really good. I could probably name five favorites just from Fate...
-
Course, it might be kinda tough to get him back. Being There is as close to perfect as anything in the last 15 years.
-
The first trailer felt like I had already seen the entire movie. Still looking forward to this.
-
Jay Bennett brought out the best in Tweedy. I understand how that relationship could be difficult and why they couldn't work together anymore but Tweedy's music suffered for it.
-
You can see it too! Just watch the first trailer!
