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.
This mumblecore movie, shot entirely in black-and-white, is an independent film from Funny Ha Ha director Andrew Bujalski. Like many films from the mumblecore movement, the movie is mostly realistic dialogue between young people who want to figure out their lives.
“Andrew Bujalski's considerable gifts begin with his deep appreciation of the miserable, hilarious awkwardness of real life.” —Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
