This weekend has been a relatively slow one for the Box Office but it was big for funny man Adam Sandler whose newest movie, Funny People, grossed $23.4M. It seems that despite Sandler's switch to a more serious approach, movie goers still appreciate his work.

Funny People is about a terminally ill comedy star. If you haven't seen it, maybe you should.
