Funny People

posted by Nell Minow
B-
Lowest Recommended Age:Adult
MPAA Rating:Rated R for language and crude sexual humor throughout, and some sexuality
Movie Release Date:July 31, 2009
DVD Release Date:November 24, 2009

“Funny People” combines two very different movies. The first is a typically crass, shallow Judd Apatow production, saturated with childish sexual antics and slapstick humor. The second is a dark, self-aware examination of a painful and ultimately meaningless life. What [...]

Lowest Recommended Age:4th - 6th Grades

MPAA Rating:Rated PG-13 for crude sexual references throughout, strong bullying, language, drug references and partial nudity.
Movie Release Date:March 21, 2008
DVD Release Date:July 1, 2008
