On this page, we highlight some of our favorite comedic films to come out in recent years.
KICK-ASS
What do you get when you merge elements of SUPERBAD, KILL BILL and SOUTH PARK? A kick ass film like KICK-ASS, which features such memorable characters as a foul-mouthed 11 year-old girl who kills her enemies with wildly reckless abandon. That’s right, the show stealer isn’t actually the lead of KICK-ASS, it’s a purple-wigged vigilante by the name of Hit Girl, a pre-pubescent weapons expert, and steely killer. What she brings to the film is unexpected: blood and gore-soaked sudden death, and a few C-bombs. One of the funniest films to come down the pike in a while, KICK-ASS is a comedy with a message: a message finding your passion and the importance of family – whether it’s a natural family or of the make-your-own variety. The film stars Aaron Johnson, Nicolas Cage, Chloe Grace Moretz, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, in is directed by verve and style by Matthew Vaughn.
THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY
One of the first films I’ve ever seen that showcased a penis getting caught in a zipper in all of its glory. A pioneer in the realm of gross-out humor films, There’s Something About Mary is one of the oldest and best in its genre. Starring Ben Stiller, Cameron Diaz and Matt Dillon, the film was directed by the Farrelly Brothers.
FLIRTING WITH DISASTER
Can’t quite believe that one of my favorite comedies stars Ben Stiller again, but well, there you have it. Aside from Stiller, you’ll find Patricia Arquette, Tea Leoni, Mary Tyler Moore, George Segal, Alan Alda, Josh Brolin, and Richard Jenkins rounding out the cast. And as an honorable mention, a truly fantastic Lily Tomlin – one of my favorite scenes involves her trying to calm a panicking shroom-ingesting Richard Jenkins down…
This film, directed by David O’ Russell, follows Stiller’s character, when he decides to try to find his natural parents. The message found in the film’s title: be careful what you wish for!
