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.
Another Wes Anderson flick with a star-studded ensemble cast, The Grand Budapest Hotel stars Ralph Fiennes as a legendary concierge who must help an employee framed for murder. The film won four Academy Awards and is the highest-grossing film of Anderson's career, earning $174.8 million at the worldwide box office.
“It is safe to say that The Grand Budapest Hotel is one of those breakthrough moments, a movie that is so beautifully realized from start to finish that I almost doubted myself on the way home. Could I really have enjoyed that film that much?” —Drew McWeeny, HitFix
