PHOTO: First look at Adam Sandler and Eminem in "Funny People"
Celebrifi - 3rd Jul 2009
Adam Sandler:
MTV Movies Blog has scored an exclusive photo of Eminem and Adam Sandler in Judd Apatow's "Funny People," due out July 31.
Apatow has lined up an incredible cast of, well, funny people, for his latest, including Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann, Jonah Hill, Eric Bana and Jason Schwartzman. But he's also managed to score some outrageous cameos from an equally impressive roster, including Sarah Silverman, Dave Attell, Norm Macdonald and Andy Dick - not to mention Eminem!
Offical synopsis:George Simmons (Adam Sandler) is a very successful yet self-involved stand-up comedian who learns that he has an inoperable blood disorder and is given less than a year to live. Ira Wright (Seth Rogen) is a struggling up-and-coming stand-up comedian who works at a deli and has yet to figure out his onstage persona. One thing these different men have in common is that neither of them have any close friends. One night, George takes notice of Ira when they perform at the same club and he hires him to be his semi-personal assistant and opening act at his performances. George and Ira form a close bond as George teaches Ira how to win the crowd and Ira helps the dying George find closure in his legacy. However, when George learns that his disease has gone into remission and an old flame (Leslie Mann) reenters his life, his recent near death experience inspires him to reevaluate what is important to him and what truly gives meaning to his life.
You can catch "Funny People" in theaters on July 31, and be sure to check out the trailer, below.

PICS: First look of Eminem in Judd Apatow's “Funny People”
Eminem x Funny People. Yes it is true that Eminem is appearing in the Judd Apatow comedy Funny People as his first movie since 8 Mile. But no worries folks, Eminem is not trying to get into comedy as his role is more of a cameo and he plays himself. Basically Adam Sandler plays a famous dying comedian and Eminem is just one of the many famous people that he has to break the news to. When asked about working with Eminem, Apatow told MTV “I was scared to pitch jokes to him then I realized his...

In 'Funny People,' Leslie Mann takes a more serious stride
Much has been made of Judd Apatow's uncanny eye for talent, populating his shows and films with such discoveries as Seth Rogen, Jason Segel and Jonah Hill. So, when he first saw actress Leslie Mann on the set of the 1996 film "The Cable Guy," which he produced, he was typically assured in his appraisal. He said to a friend, "There goes the future Mrs. Apatow."

'Paul Blart' gets some laughs before turning silly
Paul Blart: Mall Cop spends its first half mocking its title character for being fat, the second half laboring to turn him into a hero. Which, at least in the world of executive producer Adam Sandler , is the surest-fire formula around -- first be giddy and abusive, then get all sentimental. Sure, you'll laugh at times. But you'll feel guilty about it later.

Culture Vulture: Even scarier than the economy: These flicks
When I was 16, I made the mistake of staying up late one night - alone and with the lights off, mind you - to watch John Carpenter's 1978 slasher classic "Halloween" on HBO.
That was, without a doubt, the scariest movie experience in my life (unless you count the time I went to an Adam Sandler movie and the projector didn't break down).
A close second was when my wife and I saw "The Blair Witch Project" at the midnight screening at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival. S
