History YMMV / FunnyPeople

* EndingFatigue: After the HalfwayPlotSwitch, the film continues to go on and on after all is said and done. Lead character faces death with dignity, defies odds and survives, wins over the love of his life, then there's a shipping of that woman with her husband for the sake of the children, and then the lead character and his assistant reconcile. all of these reversals are somehow part of the same story.

* HarsherInHindsight: After George Simmons gives a depressing self pitying stand up routine Ira has to follow up and does so by making fun of George. At one point he jokingly says that George's act will be followed up by Creator/RobinWilliams [[http://time.com/3104190/robin-williams-suicide-hanging/ killing himself on stage.]] Well, it's wasn't on stage, but...

** Leo (played by Creator/JonahHill) telling Ira "you shouldn't have lost all that weight." Rogen would go on to slim down for ''Film/TheGreenHornet/'', and Hill notably became skinny for ''Film/21JumpStreet''.

* BrokenBase: As stated below, some viewers found this movie too prolonged, while others found the movie interesting with Adam Sandler's genuinely dramatic performance.

** During one of her stand up routines, Daisy wears a green sweater/jacket similar to WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}. 4 years later [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBQXugKu8L4 she plays Daria in a College Humor short.]]

* ToughActToFollow: After the major success of ''Film/The40YearOldVirgin'' and ''Film/KnockedUp'' expectations were quite high for this, especially with the curiosity surrounding Adam Sandler's lead performance. Perhaps, though, for the reasons mentioned above, the film ended up being a critical disappointment and a commercial flop.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Ira giving George [[TheReasonYouSuck the speech he deserves]].

%%* TheWoobie: Ira

** George himself. Either he's a relatable JerkassWoobie, or your usual unlikable Adam Sandler {{Jerkass}}. There are some people who do that he ''was'' sympathetic in the first half, while the second half has him ''lose'' his sympathy.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Clark. He's either the funniest or least likable character in the movie. Being loosely based on [[Literature/TheGreatGatsby Tom Buchanan]] doesn't help his case.

* {{Padding}}: The film pads its near 150 minute run time with many celebrity cameos and an additional thirty-minute subplot after the main revelation [[spoiler:that George's cancer has gone into remission]]. Supposedly, the film's extended versions are even worse. It's not even the storyline mentioned above that's the most annoying part, that actually makes some sense, it's several useless storylines - namely the entire subplot involving Laura as well as Mark's sitcom career- and scenes (the celebrity cameo festival in the middle film would have been a deleted scene in almost ANY other movie because of how little it has to do with the plot and how long it drags on) that should have ended up on the cutting room floor. Hell, one wonders if there even was a cutting room floor.

** James Taylor: [[spoiler: "Fuck Facebook."]]
** The scene with Ray Romano and Eminem. It acts as a SnicketWarningLabel though, letting you know that right after this scene, the ''[[GenreShift other]]'' [[HalfwayPlotSwitch half]] [[RomanticPlotTumor starts]].
* {{Padding}}: The film stretches one movie's worth of character development across two movies' worth of story. It also crams in a boatload of celebrity cameos that almost all have a scene to themselves, and don't establish anything other than "the main character knows this person." It seems to continue the trend of Apatow's films getting longer and longer and him [[ProtectionFromEditors beating his editor more savagely]] each time he says "Hey, we should cut this stuff that doesn't add to the film thematically."

* RomanticPlotTumor: The movie didn't need the an hour with George and his ex and most critics agree that it brought the movie down
