Just saw this movie tonight and really enjoyed it. Its a story of a pre-midlife comedian George Simmons (Adam Sandler)who has built a great career and life but unfortunately has been living it alone. Classic case of money can't buy you love type of deal. Early in the movie, he finds he has a rare case of leukemia and has a slim chance of surviving. Needless to say this puts him in sort of an introspective funk in which he starts stand-up again. This is where he meets Ira (Seth Rogan) who is a not-so-up-and-coming comedian/part-time grocery store deli worker and regular of the comedy club amateur night. After watching Ira's stand-up show George makes Ira his assistant and joke writer and from there the story takes interesting and hilarious turns while Georges and Ira struggle to figure out what they want out of life.
