This "Newmarket Shooting Script" includes the complete screenplay by Judd Apatow, an introduction by actor Jason Schwartzman, a mock Q & A with stand-up comedian Charles Fleischer, photos of Judd Apatow with famous comedians in his early days, George Simmons movie posters, and a review from "New Yorker" film critic David Denby. "Funny People" is the story of a famous comedian, George Simmons (Adam Sandler), who has a near-death experience, and what he does with this second chance at life. Apatow addresses a question that hasn't been touched with such trademark bluntness and humour: If you had the chance to start all over again, would you be the same jerk you always were?
