Will Farrell, Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey, Mel Brooks et. al, all had a decade plus of out and out comedy films. But truly brilliant, quotable, laugh out loud films seem to have stopped at 2012. Andy Samberg films like “Popstar: Never stop never stopping” might be an argument against my point, but I think no film released after 2012 will make you cry with laughter. I’m very curious to hear any suggestions to prove my argument wrong.
After the p diddy fiasco i decided to watch get him to the greek. The movie is the most late 2000s comedy movie, it wasn't good in a movie sense but it was pretty fun to watch and was funny (although it's only really funny because P Diddy in the film is ACTUALLY how he acts like) And that's kinda my problem with modern comedy films. Most modern comedy films are made by Netflix and is just kevin hart,dwayne Johnson, and Ryan Reynolds being silly tough guys that isn't really funny. I think a movie that really explains my position is grown ups. If you actually take the movies seriously grown ups is trash, but if you don't take it seriously which I think is how adam sandler wanted you to watch. The movie is really fun to watch and can be funny. What I miss about 2007 - 2012 comedy films is that none of the actors actually took it seriously and you can see when they act that their actually having fun. Like grown ups 1 and 2 was just adam sandler and his friends hanging out and the chemistry is great because in real life their actually having fun. But new comedy films aren't really that much fun to watch and most of the actors don't care at all and are clearly just there for the paycheck. Their really needs to be more "fun movies not meant to be taken seriously" again.
