Remember Funny People with Adam Sandler? I watched it because it was on a couple of "should get nominated lists". I hated it. Well, I asked a guy in my office, M, to watch the movie and give a testosterone point of view. I figured it was possible this movie could appeal if you had a penis, though I didn't see how.
I believe I am capable of understanding some male movie views. Take One Night at McCool's. M thinks this movie is perfection, and watches it every few months. I watched McCool's at his request, and was underwhelmed. My point, though, is that I understood why M loved it. Liv Tyler is gorgeous and hot and undoubtedly does wonderful things to the temp in his basement while he's watching her. I think her outfits in the movie are hilarious - really inspired.
Anyway, I asked for his opinion about Funny People. M said it was the worst movie ever made; so bad he was mad that it wasted his time. (FYI - my Avatar!)
So I can't offer an explanation for this movie at all. What did the critics see that I missed?
