Jun 17 2009'Funny People' Provides New Entry in 'Little Man' Genre
In Judd Apatow's Funny People, Adam Sandler plays George Simmons, a comedian-turned-comic actor starring in primarily broad comedies--obviously a role that hits fairly close to home for the Waterboy. So, to promote the film, Apatow and Sandler, along with Justin Long, put together this depressingly believable clip for one of Simmons' fictional films, Re-Do. Description:
Craig, a workaholic lawyer, never made time for his relationships. Alone and depressed on his 40th birthday, he wonders about the life he could have lead. But be careful what you wish for...you might just find yourself in diapers! When a wizard gives Craig a second chance at his youth, he discovers that sometimes it takes becoming a baby to learn how to be a man.
It's really good. They've topped Yo, Teach...!:
The title, the needlessly expository dialogue, the ubiquitous Japanese businessmen meeting, the man-head on a baby body, the wizard explanation: perfect. Eddie Murphy is calling his agent asking why he didn't get to see this script.

Why does Adam Sandler sound like Gilbert Gottfried?

His voice was impossibly annoying in that clip.

People, this is a joke. It's not part of the movie, and if they're doing crappy clips like this and Yo Teach then you just know that the movie's going to be awesome, since they're making fun of most comedies.

That music at the end is the super emotional climax music from An American Tail!

@mick
you are retarted.
we know it's fake and not part of the movie the problem is they are trying to ripoff a tropic thunder or something like that (i'm sure this has been done even before that) with their fake movie's etc.
unfortunately the fake clips are stupid and not funny at all whereas tropic's thunder's fake trailers were stupid but very funny.
this movie is awful, sandler is awful.

It's probably only fun to be a baby if you've baby mind.

How about an adult with a baby mind? Would that be fun?
