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.
From the director of nostalgic coming-of-age comedy Dazed and Confused, Richard Linklater's Everybody Wants Some!! is another period ensemble comedy, this time following a group of college baseball players in 1980.
“Richard Linklater once again casts his outwardly laid-back yet deceptively astute gaze on those loitering around the edge of adulthood with Everybody Wants Some!! - a joyous and often uproarious portrayal of college-age adolescence and the alluring freedom that brings.” —Adam Lowes, CineVue
