Best bets: ‘Funny People’ looks for laughs

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)
