`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.

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.

With “Pineapple Express,” however, the hit-making producer delivers another brilliantly funny comedy about man-children who finally decide to get their act together.
