STUDIO SYNOPSIS

Over the past few years, writer/director Judd Apatow ("The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Knocked Up") has shown that nothing—not even losing your virginity or the miracle of childbirth—is sacred.

About his third film behind the camera, he says, "I'm trying to make a very serious movie that is twice as funny as my other movies. Wish me luck!" Apatow directs Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann in "Funny People," the story of a famous comedian who has a near-death experience.

Adam Sandler, Eric Bana, Jason Schwartzman, RZA and newcomer Aubrey Plaza join a cast that reunites Judd Apatow with Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann and Jonah Hill in their third comedy together.

SPIRITUAL POINT OF VIEW
Visual Review

How would your life change if you knew you were going to die in 6 months? It is a powerful question. This is essentially what the film is asking each of us. And if the threat of death was somehow lifted, would those changes remain? That’s an even tougher question.

Bottom line: Live your life as though your days are limited, because actually they are. As it is often said, “One life will soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last.”
