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 spin-off of the BBC series “The Thick of It,” the Academy Award-nominated film is a political satire about American and British operatives trying to prevent a war. Peter Capaldi, Tom Hollander, and James Gandolfini are among the famous faces in the ensemble cast.
Capaldi's Malcolm Tucker is one of the most foul-mouthed characters in recent memory on the big screen, uttering 85 f-words during the film.
“The language is brilliant, and the laugh lines come so quickly that you'd probably have to watch the movie twice to get them all.” —Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
