  1. Sort by List order. 1. The Hangover. 2009 1h 40m R. 7.7 (861K) Rate. 73 Metascore. Three buddies wake up from a bachelor party in Las Vegas, with no memory of the previous night and the bachelor missing. They make their way around the city in order to find their friend before his wedding.

    • ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’ What would you do for your true love? Would you, say, battle your soulmate’s seven evil exes in rounds of to-the-death combat?
    • ‘The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)’ Stripping away the manic extremes that usually define his onscreen persona, Adam Sandler plays Danny, a sad-sack father reeling from his marriage’s dissolution by moving in with his accomplished, self-absorbed, deeply critical father (Dustin Hoffman), eventually also reconnecting with his far more successful (but by no means happy) half-brother (Ben Stiller).
    • ‘Enough Said’ At the start of Nicole Holofcener’s savvy L.A. rom-com, harried masseuse Eva tells a slobby divorcé named Albert that she’s tired of her dates expecting her to be “funny.”
    • ‘Bros’ Billy on the screen! Writer-star Billy Eichner’s attempt to revolutionize a genre by making an old-fashioned, studio-sponsored rom-com — but also one that featured two men in love and was unabashedly honest about modern gay life — is groundbreaking in any number of ways.

    This was a tough one because A Mighty Wind is also pretty great, but in terms of which is funnier, the award goes to Best in Show. It has the excellent cast of characters with every single actor knocking it out of the park combined with the high-stakes/low-stakes platform of a dog show where the stars may be the pets, but it’s the owners who are th...

    Wet Hot American Summer is an insane movie. Absurdist comedy is certainly not for everyone, and the film was a box office bomb upon release, but those that were able to find Wet Hot and get on its level discovered a treasure trove of comedy gold. The brainchild of The State alums David Wain and Michael Showalter, the film takes place over a single ...

    Don Coscarelli’s movies always have some offbeat humor packed in, but Bubba Ho-Tep is without a doubt his most outright hilarious movie yet. Based on a short story from prolific genre author Joe Lansdale, Bubba Ho-Tep stars Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis as two men trapped in a retirement home with a soul-sucking mummy walking the halls and stealin...

    Jack Black had been making his way as a solid comic relief character actor to this point, but Richard Linklater’s script for School of Rock really gave Black a chance to make full use of all of his talents, weaving together his schlubby underdog with his inherently lovable demeanor. And yet it’s Black’s musical ability that’s the film’s ace in the ...

    There may not be a more quotable comedy so far this century. I still can’t look at milk without thinking, “Milk was a bad choice.” Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is delightfully madcap, and yet it still holds together, which is remarkable when you consider that they basically reshot the entire thing and gave it a different plot (the original...

    Plenty of Saturday Night Live alums try their hands at the feature film world, but successfully navigating that crossover is oftentimes hard. Tina Fey, however, had no problems whatsoever when she decided to write Mean Girls, based on the self-help book Queen Bees & Wannabes. Fey approaches the material with tact, humor, and insight, crafting a now...

    While funny is funny, there’s a pretty diverse set of subgeneres within comedy. Edgar Wright’s breakout film Shaun of the Dead, however, is in a class of its own. The “zomromcom” combines elements of horror, comedy, romance, and bromance to result in a perfect cocktail of a movie. I wouldn’t even necessary classify it in one genre—it’s just a great...

    Writers/directors Trey Parker and Matt Stone say they instantly regretted their decision to make Team America: World Police once they saw the puppets in motion, but thank God they finished it out. While the South Park creators haven’t dabbled too much in things outside the realm of their Comedy Central series, when they do they tend to strike gold....

    It’s almost like someone said, “You can’t have comedy in a noir,” and Shane Black said, “Challenge accepted.” The plot of Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang has all the trappings of a hard-boiled noir, but Black imbues everything with razor-sharp comedy expertly delivered by Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer giving a couple of the best performances of their caree...

    Judd Apatow single-handedly changed the face of comedy for a few years there in the mid-2000s. In the place of high-concept gags or romcoms, The 40-Year-Old Virgin brought a looseness to the genre thanks to Apatow’s willingness to let his cast improvise, but he also aimed to thread James L. Brooks-esque drama into his films. The 40-Year-Old Virgin ...
