There were definitely some funny parts‚ only when overall‚ I thought the movie was more on the earnest/drama side of writing styles rather than drollery. I think by chance Judd Apatow named the movie Funny People‚ and then make it more as a serious movie‚ on purpose. I believe this could be showing the difference

Southern towns were black‚ they had no vote and could not marry whites. Also in the 1930’s‚ many black people lived in the southern states. During that time‚ racism reached its highest point. For instance‚ the whites treated the blacks very poorly because they thought that the blacks were lower than them. Therefore‚ the blacks had to fight for the right to be treated equally.
