Director : Judd Apatow
Running Time : 153 mins
When highly successful stand-up comic and movie star George Simmons (Sandler) discovers he has an inoperable form of leukaemia, he starts to think about how he has wasted his life and managed to lose the love of his life, Laura (Mann). One night, while performing at the Improv, he runs into fellow wannabe comedian Ira Wright (Rogen), and employs him as his personal assistant to give him someone to talk to about his issues.
This is actually a thoughtful and touching movie – something I’d have thought Sandler incapable of – but as we know, Apatow likes to combine cock jokes with drama. Fans of Rogen will be surprised at how much he underplays his part in the movie, and those who hate Sandler will be surprised at how good he is in this. This is a definite must for anyone who loves stand-up comedy, but be warned – the runtime is incredibly long.
