Judd Apatow has always put a smidge of saddness into his films.
Evan, the 40 year old virgin, can’t really open up to trust. Ben, in Knocked Up, must grow out of his arrested development to become a father. Peter, the muppet vampire opera composer, in Sarah Marshal lives the self-loathing pain of any guy that’s been dumped.
Or, so I understand having never been dumped by a “soul mate”. My personal badge of honor or admission of my own fear of intimacy? You decide.
This drama serves to make the characters very sympathetic and therefore more real and then funny (because it’s True). Funny people is the saddest to date for the character George (Adam Sandler) whom faces hopelessness in the throes of a fatal disease.
