Funny People is funny, moving, dramatic, and alternately hilarious. It's a bit like a stand-up dramedy.

Jonathan F. Richards, Film.com
The good parts of this movie are often wonderful, but Apatow never finds the rhythm to keep it going. It lurches from inspiration to inspiration, but always manages to muddy its feet in mediocrity in between, as it drags on toward the two-and-a-half-hour

Cliff Doerksen, Chicago Reader
Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, The 40-Year-Old Virgin) takes some interesting chances in this messy but engaging comedy, which suggests he may yet mature (no, seriously) into a filmmaker of substance.

Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies
It walks a perfectly fine line between being funny and tragic.
-
Ben Lyons, At the Movies
Apatow has always found a balance of heart and humor in his best films, and Funny People is no exception.
