`Funny People' lands Sandler at No. 1 with $22.7M

Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen's "Funny People" had a solid though unremarkable start at the box office, debuting as the No. 1 film with $22.7 million over its first weekend.

‘Funny People’ offers more than just laughs

With his third feature film as writer-director, Judd Apatow is carving out a singular niche in American movies. While he’s borrowed from the Kevin Smith template — smart nerdy guys hide their fragile hearts behind a barrage of pop-culture references and below-the-waist humor — he also seems to be channeling French New Wave director Eric Rohmer with his long and seemingly meandering films that use the subtleties of conversation to peel back the layers of his characters.

Navigating the Adam Sandler movie minefield

I cracked somewhere around “50 First Dates,” that Drew Barrymore/Adam Sandler romantic comedy about how she’s got a weird specific love amnesia and can’t remember anything that happens the day after it goes down. It’s great news for him, of course, because he can use the same tired shtick over and over and she’ll think it’s awesome every single time. For the audience, it’s a reminder of what we already knew: Adam Sandler is never not Adam Sandler in any movie he’s in.

Best bets: ‘Funny People’ looks for laughs

Hollywood’s favorite filmmaker, Judd Apatow, returns with his third film, Adam Sandler stars as a comedian suffering from what he believes to be a fatal disease — until it goes into remission. Seth Rogen co-stars as a not-quite-as-funny comic who becomes both his assistant and best pal. The premise sounds a bit maudlin, but Apatow is one of the few directors who really knows how to balance laughs with heart. The movie also features the comic talents of Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman, Sarah Silverman and Norm McDonald. (Opens July 31)
