1. Funny People
Everyone seems to love Seth Rogen these days. Dude is making Jew-fro's the hot shit right now. Up until about a year and a half ago, I was on that same bandwagon. Until he reached a point where it looked like he was trying to be funny. Now, I'm not saying he's lost it, but 'Zack and Miri Make a Porno' and 'Observe and Report' were lackluster. It seemed like he was driving the whole slacker, pothead archetype into the ground, much like Will Ferrel did to the absent-minded, well-meaning idiot role (Land of the Lost was unbelievably wack). However, it looks like his mojo might be coming back with his latest role in Adam Sandler's 'Funny People'. Instead of playing the same role he's been playing, Rogen now seems to have a character and a personality, and we all know Sandler won't disappoint (he hasn't in a while). This movie looks like its gonna be a modest hit that's really funny, but no one will see until one of their friends says its funny. Be that friend. Go check 'Funny People,' and while you're at it, check these exclusive clips from the movie, which comes out on July 31...
