Premiere of 'Funny People'

Photos of the cast at the premiere of the film 'Funny People,' starring Adam Sandler.

Hollywood star Adam Sandler arrives for the premiere of his latest film, "Funny People." Sandler plays a famous comedian who is suffering from a fatal disease. He hires another comedian to be his assistant and friend, then he goes after "the girl who got away." Sound intriguing?

Leslie Mann strikes a pose for photographers. Mann plays the "girl who got away." Sandler's character finds her again after a long absence and they re-form their relationship.

Don Johnson and his wife Kelley Phleger arrive at the premiere. Neither one of them is in the movie "Funny People," but they decided to go to the premiere anyway because they didn't have anything else to do Monday night.

Aubrey Plaza arrives at the premiere. Plaza is in the new TV series "Parks and Recreation."

Seth Rogen, another cast member, arrives at the premiere of "Funny People." The film, which opens July 31, was written, directed and produced by Judd Apatow.

Actress Anna Faris arrives at the premiere and gestures with her arms and a cute expression on her face. She is not in the movie but was in the movie "The House Bunny."

Eric Bana plays Clarke, the husband of Leslie Mann's character. Handsome and self-assured, Clarke is kind of a jerk.

Ryan Seacrest, host of "American Idol" and former Atlantan, was also in attendance.
