As regards Funny People: we'll see, but I have strong reservations after seeing the trailer. I don't have any problem with the life affirming part where he realizes he's gotta follow his dreams and go out on a limb more often. That to me is acceptably within the territory of the premise. It's when things appear to get goofy and hi-jinxy that concerns me. It's very, very hard to go from heavy to light and have us still care about the outcome.

It's a good movie. Maybe not up to Mann standards, but still. I have high hopes for Funny People. I think Apatow has shown he has a knack for taking a plot in directions you don't expect it to go, but still making it good. Man, I don’t know why everyone hates Miami Vice. It’s a good movie.
