Advance Word Strong For “Funny”
‘There have been a couple of recent bellwether showings of Judd Apatow ‘s “Funny People” (Universal, release date: 7/31) in Los Angeles — a friends-of-Apatow screening plus a research screening that happened (I’m told) about eight days ago.’ That’s according to blogger Jeffrey Wells. ‘And the word is better than pretty good; it’s “amazing,” “James L. Brooksian,” etc. The leads, of course, are Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen, with Leslie Mann, Eric Bana, Jonah Hill and Jason Schwartzman in supporting.’
