The Best Films For Big Time Laughter From The Last Few Years |

| Over the past few years there have been some brilliant
comedies. Funny movies are tough to predict at the box
office, because so much of it depends on word of mouth and
star power does not always equal a hit. It has to be the
right combination of script writing, directing, casting and
positive buzz. Here are some of the best comedies to be released in the past ten years. If you have not seen The Hangover, then you are missing out. The script is nothing new (think Dude, Where's My Car?), however the execution is brilliant. This movie served as breakout roles for both Bradley Cooper and Zach Galafinakis. The sequel is supposed to hit theatres in 2011. When it comes to comedy, one of the biggest names over the past decade is Judd Apatow. Whether he is directing, producing or writing the script, his movies have for the most part performed extremely well. Knocked Up is a film of his that I really enjoy, because while it is very funny, it also tackles serious subject matter and manages to find a great balance. In his most iconic role to date, Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy is Will Ferrell's masterpiece. This movie is just absolutely hilarious. This is a film that you can watch 50 times and still find the jokes to be laugh out loud funny. Rumors have swirled for a sequel for years, but Ferrell has yet to come across a script that he is happy with. Another awesome film was Role Models. Sean William Scott has been relatively quiet since his role as Stiffler (even though he has definitely gotten work), but this film was a breath of fresh air. Paul Rudd is always hilarious and this duo was great to watch as mentors for troubled youngsters. Wedding Crashers is another film that I find hilarious. For some reason, any time this film is on, I cannot seem to turn it off. Even if its five minutes in and it's late on a work night, I still feel the need to watch this one. So this is the list for now. I will have to reevaluate after the summer season is over, although Funny People definitely did not make the cut. |
