Funny People II

About This Movie

So, 'Funny People II' from '83 is this quirky comedy that really captures the essence of its era. The pacing's a bit all over the place, but it does have that playful, chaotic energy that makes you chuckle. The practical effects are charmingly dated, yet they add a certain whimsy that today's CGI often lacks. I mean, there's this scene where a character gets hit by a pie, and the impact feels so silly and lighthearted. The performances are pretty solid, especially from the leads who have this great chemistry. Themes of unexpected friendship and the absurdity of life bubble to the surface, keeping the tone breezy and fun. It’s really one of those films that just makes you smile.
