Way better than Funny People, a similar film also starring Seth Rogen. This film has some credibility because it's based on an actual true story about the writer and Rogen. The authenticity is what makes it okay to laugh (especially considering we know he survived to be able to write the film). I enjoy Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen in anything they do so it's nice to have them together in one place, and with some decent writing to boot.

3.5 Stars (out of 5)
