Funny People

This comedy Funny People about funny people wasn't really funny. It had a couple of good jokes, but not enough. The characters were not likeable even though I like all the actors in this movie.

You know how sometimes the trailer shows all the good stuff in a movie. Well, this is one of those movies. Pass on this movie and watch SuperBad or Click or any of their other movies.

Fantastic Mr. Fox - 2010 Academy Awards nominated Best Animated Feature Film of the Year

This was a good movie to watch. Very entertaining with quirky characters and simple storyline. I think what I like about it best was the humor in it.

I am also surprised with the big names in it like George Clooney, Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wilson and Anjelica Huston. I wonder what makes them decide to do these voice overs?

This is a fun movie that I will probably watch over again in the near and far future. Hope you like it too. Cheers!
