The 28 Best Comedies This Century, Ranked From Worst to Best
From Academy Award winners to outrageous, campy comedies, this century has been filled with a variety of laugh-inducing flicks.
These films star titans of the genre, including Seth Rogen, Jack Black, Sacha Baron Cohen and Chris Rock. And while some are of the laugh-out-loud variety, other comedies are satirical, of the mumblecore genre, or just plain dark.
A British TV series which was edited into a feature film for American audiences, The Trip stars comedians Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon as two friends on a restaurant tour who argue with each other and do impressions of famous actors at the dinner table. The film was followed by two sequels, The Trip to Italy and The Trip to Spain.
