Judd Apatow’s latest film, Funny People, is shooting right now. I’ve read the script and have to say that this has the makings of a really interesting, next level take on the usual Apatow formula*. I liked it a bunch.
I’m not as taken with the poster above, which looks a little like a TV Guide ad for the fall premiere of a new sitcom (Funny People – Tuesdays at 8 This Fall on CBS!). But hey, that’s just early promotional stuff. There may be more goodness coming.
More goodness like: you. Yes, you can win a walk-on role in Funny People. Want to know how? I turn this article over to Judd himself:
* isn’t it funny that we say he has a ‘formula’ when he’s directed two films? It’s what happens when you get branded. And then become a Hollywood comedy behemoth!

I actually judt think it's nice that Leslie Mann gets above title billing — she was my favorite part of Knocked Up and killed in Virgin. And, yes, I know she's Apatow's wife…
This really is a boring poster. Sandler should at least be doing the splits. And Leslie Mann should be showing off some "Big Daddy" style cleavage. Preferable in a hooters shirt
I just like they way they found an angle that makes Seth Rogen look like the Retarded Policeman
You guys said Pineapple Express was funny. It wasn't.
Let the flogging begin!
If you watched Pineapple Express and didn't find reason to laugh, the problem is with you, not CHUD or Seth Rogen.
let's see which one happens: seth rogen actually playing a funny person, or leslie mann not being a one-dimensional bitch. my vote goes to neither. fuck you.
My friends and I recently watched Pineapple Express I have to say, I couldn't believe how bad it was. We all thought it was going to be really good, after all the hype about it, mostly from websites like this. But it was objectively bad. The script was poor it just didn't work. Why can't CHUD admit when Seth Rogen or any of his crew make shitty movies. Which they actually do quite often.
Free promotion brought to you from Apatow's CHUD.com
Where's Bana?
They should have used Bana's scowling promo photo from 'Star Trek' and had it in a small circle in the left had corner…that would be FUNNY…people
Forgetting Sarah Marshall was the best work that Apatow & co. have come out with to date, followed by Superbad. Pineapple Express was just a giant let down but hey, I wasn't high but from the people I talked to, even being high during the film didn't help it all that much.
They should have titled it unfunny people.
Can't they just say Jud Apatow on the poster these days? He's becoming enough of a name to not always have it say "from the guy that brought you The 40 Year Old Virgin". Can't it just say "from Jud Apatow" or "From the Apatow Group"?
