Funny People (2009)

I expected it to be funny considering the fact that all three main characters do humor. But it wasnt the case. Its totally uneven and most of the time its drama. May be it wasnt supposed to be funny. So before watching it just dont go with the mindset for humor coz it has very little of it. Anyhow overall its fine movie coz its just that you didnt expect it to be this type.

Plot Summary:

George is a very successful stand up comedian who learns that he has an untreatable blood disorder and is given less than a year to live. Ira is a struggling up-and-coming stand up comedian who works at a deli and has yet to figure out his onstage persona. One night, these two perform at the same club and George takes notice of Ira. George hires Ira to be his semi-personal assistant as well as his friend. Written by Anonymous
