Adam Sandler is George, a comedian contemplating on his life after he's told he's going to die.  In this FUNNY PEOPLE movie clip, George pays a visit to the doctor with his new friend played by Seth Rogen and hassle the doctor over his German accent. 

 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 s 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.

Movie Review and Clip: Adam

Published: Tuesday, 28 July 2009 11:13
Written by Lupe Haas

Romance can be risky, perplexing and filled with the perils of miscommunication - and that's if you aren't ADAM, for whom life itself is this way.  In this heartfelt romantic comedy, Hugh Dancy (THE JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB, CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC) stars as Adam, a handsome but intriguing young man who has all his life led a sheltered existence - until he meets his new neighbor, Beth (Rose Byrne, "Damages," 28 WEEKS LATER, KNOWING), a beautiful, cosmopolitan young woman who pulls him into the outside world, with funny, touching and entirely unexpected results. Watch a clip from ADAM.

Their implausible and enigmatic relationship reveals just how far two people from different realities can stretch in search of an extraordinary connection.  ADAM also stars Peter Gallagher (“The O.C.”), Amy Irving (“Alias”), and Frankie Faison (“The Wire”). Written & directed by Max Mayer.

 

MOVIE REVIEW

Adam is the story of a woman looking for truth in her life, and of a man who can be nothing but honest. Adam, played by Hugh Dancy, is a young man with Asperger’s Syndrome. Just as his father dies, a young woman, played by Rose Byrne, moves into his apartment building. Her unabashed, sincere, friendliness gets past his shy, anti-social awkwardness and by the time she realizes how deep his social limitations are, a friendship has already been formed. Her interest and curiosity encourages her to learn more about this syndrome. And as their relationship grows, she takes on the task of helping Adam get a new job and achieve more independence.


As Beth’s own life begins to unravel, Adam’s honesty becomes even more precious to her until the truth becomes too painful to bear. This is a beautiful love story, brilliantly acted, wonderfully detailed, and genuinely heartfelt. It is unsentimental in delivery and is never maudlin. It is a very moving film totally worth seeing.
