Over the past few years, writer/director Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up) has shown that nothing-not even losing your virginity or the miracle of childbirth is sacred. About his third film behind the camera, he says, I’m trying to make a very serious movie that is twice as funny as my other movies. Wish me luck! Apatow directs Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann in Funny People, the story of a famous comedian who has a near-death experience. Adam Sandler, Eric Bana, Jason Schwartzman, RZA and newcomer Aubrey Plaza join a cast that reunites Judd Apatow with Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann and Jonah Hill in their third comedy together.

ReviewBrisbane received ten double passes to giveaway through Twitter with the release of Funny People thanks to Universal Pictures. As our first ever competition, entrants had to follow us and retweet our tweet. So on a lovely Sunday evening at Broadway Hotel eating half-alive cattle we randomly chose our ten winners. Congratulations to @ehon, @GrantCharge, @dww84, @flloydpk, @matt_oc, @rod_rocket, @mummyswishinc, @lanipauli, @joyjoyc and @bunton.
The only condition with winning tickets is a quick twitter review (140 characters) of the movie and mentioning @ReviewBrisbane. Not much to ask right?
Here are some of the winners reviews:
@dww84: Saw Funny People courtesy of @reviewbrisbane A bit long but some funny scenes, great standup & Bana’s character was hilarious!
@lanipauli: Funniest thing about Funny People was Eric Bana tying to reclaim his Poiter days. (@ReviewBrisbane)
@joyjoyc: @reviewbrisbane Funny People was funny and serious at the same time, thanks for the tix
@ehon: Just watched Funny People courtesy of @ReviewBrisbane. Very. Long. Movie! Adam Sandler totally kicked arse! Pretty funny movie but TOO long!
@GrantCharge: @reviewbrisbane Funny People would have been funnier and more meaningful with fewer offensive jokes and more self-control from Judd Apatow.
@seanbunton: @reviewbrisbane Saw Funny People! Loved it! Really like the style of Seth and his crew — offensive to some, hilarious to me. 7/10
@flloydpk: @reviewbrisbane I am so sorry, I never got to see Funny People the ticket didn’t work on a Tuesday.
