Movie review on PMS

Warning: Do not go to see Funny People when you're PMSing. This movie is already confused enough (in a good way) if it wants to be a comedy or a drama or a romance, so you really don't need to put your own emotions which are changing by the minute through that roller coaster.

That being said, do go see it! Despite creative editing in certain promos to make it look purely comical, this film is vastly different than Apatow's previous efforts. The sadness/death element is real and very present in the film which provides an interesting, and at times haunting, twist to the movie's running theme of what and who is "funny".

I laughed, I cried, I felt my lady hormones raging...all of which I'm sure were the desired reactions to Funny People.
