Pretty much as I expected.
Was some laugh out loud moments, but as other have commented, way too long.
Even my teenage son who loves this type of crude American humour complained it was TOO LONG.
It could have been cut by a good 30 minutes, and been better for it.

Just my personal opinion, but as a parent I do find it very hard work when films portray "normal" everyday conversation as being littered with bad language.
I am no prude, and have become used to F and S words in cinema and on the TV - but it used to just be in the heat of the moment, in the midst of a life and death battle/shoot out.
Now even scenes at the supermarket, school and home talking about everyday things like shopping, homework or meals have every sentence full of bad language.
It is portrayed as normal everyday vocabulary not just by the police/cops and drug pushers and criminals etc, but by mothers and very young children.

The ticket for Funny people gave it a PG certificate, but I have noticed that when it comes out today it is a 15.....heaven knows what else was edited out before the preview screening!
I did notice one family were spoken to by staff, and left before the film started. Their children looked under 12, but if this was a genuine PG, in theory they should have been fine.

I don't think I am a hypocrite for taking him to the film and then complaining about the language, I used to love Westerns, but I didn't go around shooting people. Also, as I say, he is at that age.....in my day it would have been Benny Hill or the Confessions of.... films :rolleyes:
It is just that I feel that most of the programmes on TV and films at the cinema now depict bad language as perfectly normal and acceptable part of everyday vocabulary. I wish there were programmes and films which portrayed eloquence and wit as being 'cool' and normal.:cool:

I just returned two tickets for Away We Go at Odeon Brighton on the 8th of September in case anyone wants to go for them

how boring was this film? rom com? nothing funny, and very little romance

however if i had been able to hear the first 10mins clearly, where the narrator fills you in on the fact, it isnt your usual romantic film, i might have enjoyed it a tad more. But as there was a continual stream of late comers ( i counted at least 20), traipsing up and down the aisles, you rather missed the set-up

Why do people turn up late. They know the films starting time, have no trailers, and yet they still think they can waltz in once its started. the cinemas really need to put their foot down on this.

so for all those late comers at the Colchester viewing on Tuesday evening, get a watch!

When i went to see a showing of Funny People the other day a couple turned up at about five past seven, trouble is sometimes you miss the most important part of the story, seems like a waste of time to me.

Just checked and the tickets for Funny people for Tell ten definitely had 15 certificate on i had ones for a sky screening and think that might have had to be certificated but knowing the judd apatow films that have come out in the past like Superbad and Knocked up (with the exeption of Drillbit Taylor) there's no way that i would have chanced taking a kid under the age of 15 to one of them. Unfortunately there is a lot more swearing etc in films and tv programmes nowadays, i thought that some of the references to certain things could have been toned down in that film, it's very hard when you are sitting next to an older member of your family just as much as a younger member and hearing a million references to a male anatomy part(you know what i'm saying if you have seen funny people)you just want the ground to swallow you up.
