"I'd like to tell you how vile this deviation from sanity called Funny People really is," begins Rex Reed's delightful review, "but it is one of those rare times when I am at a loss for words." Then he continues for 665 more words, including these: "In every film, Mr. Sandler looks more retarded." [NYO via Awl]
