LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Did you hear the one about the shallow, jaded, lonely celebrity who's forced to re-evaluate his priorities after he's diagnosed with a deadly disease?
It's not a joke, but rather the plot of "Funny People" - the third film from director Judd Apatow after "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" (2005) and "Knocked Up" (2007). But where those films were straight-on comedies with a heart, "Funny People" is being billed as Apatow's first "serious" movie.
