FUNNY PEOPLE trailer

Here’s the trailer for Judd Apatow’s new movie, FUNNY PEOPLE. It stars Adam Sandler as a hugely successful stand-up comedian who learns he’s dying and decides he’d better make some human connections before he goes.

Sounds like a standard feel-good movie plot, but the cast is solid, Sandler can do drama (check out PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE) and the buzz is strong. Critics are comparing it to the work of James L. Brooks (BROADCAST NEWS, TERMS OF ENDEARMENT). It’ll be interesting to see how audiences react when it opens July 31.
