Did you hear the one about the shallow, jaded, lonely celebrity who’s forced to re-evaluate his priorities after he’s diagnosed with a deadly disease?
It’s not a joke, but rather the plot of “Funny People” – the third film from director Judd Apatow after “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” (2005) and “Knocked Up” (2007). But where those films were straight-on comedies with a heart, “Funny People” is being billed as Apatow’s first “serious” movie.

NEW YORK, N.Y.
In the three movies Judd Apatow has directed, his wife, Leslie Mann, has taken on progressively larger roles.
In “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” she’s a hot-to-trot drunken driver terrifying Steve Carell in the passenger seat; in “Knocked Up,” she played Paul Rudd’s wife; and in Apatow’s latest, “Funny People,” he’s written Mann an even bigger role — the one-who-got-away from Adam Sandler’s character.

With his breakout role in the charming and very funny new comedy “17 Again,” teen idol Zac Efron is basically sending a not-so-subtle message to anyone in Hollywood who will listen: bye-bye “High School Musical,” hello movie career.
Otherwise, “17 Again” could best be described as a hodge-podge of past “what if” films, like “Big,” “13 Going on 30,” the similarly-titled “18 Again” and both versions of “Freaky Friday.” But it’s still a good movie, thanks to a charming screenplay by Jason Filardi (“Bringing Down the House”), vibrant direction from Burr Steers (“Igby Goes Down”) and a star-making performance by Efron.

Zac Efron might have dropped out of the remake of the 80’s dance flick “Footloose,” in order to pursue “the unknown,” but the young star is definitely in the know about rumors that he’ll star in a fourth “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie, along with a sequel to “Hairspray.” But, why does he think his onscreen kiss in “17 Again” has ruined his chance of landing a role in a Judd Apatow movie?
