Film komedi top dalam 5 tahun terakhir 2022

There is likely no genre of film or performance more subjective than comedy. You either laugh or you don’t. To explain why something is funny will more often than not rob a joke of its power, and to attempt to classify one type of humor over another could be a fool’s errand.

Which must mean we’re feeling pretty foolish here at Den of Geek, because in honor of our company’s 15th year, we decided to rank and list all the best laughers from the last decade and a half. Now admittedly, what qualifies as a “comedy”—versus, say, a drama with humorous moments—can be as subjective as humor itself. Yet given the wealth of material to work with, even from the last few years when comedies have sadly been mostly abandoned by Hollywood studios, we decided to let our staff and you, dear readers, choose what you think is funny.

Below is a list of 25 entertainments, satires, and gross-out gags that tickled thousands of readers’ funny bones, as well those of our discerning staff writers and editors. See if your favorite made the cut.

25. The Big Sick (2017)

Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon earned a best original screenplay nomination at the Oscars for their-semi biographical story of a Muslim stand-up comic (played by Nanjiani) and his white girlfriend (played by Zoe Kazan). The latter falls seriously ill after the two break up for cultural reasons. Though there are some quality throwaway gags (“A giraffe walks into a bar and says ‘the high-balls are on me’”…), it deals with a serious subject matter and conjures a rollercoaster of emotions. An indie made for $5 million and produced by Judd Apatow, it went on to gross over $50 million at the box office and garnered wide critical acclaim. Quite rightly too, it’s an excellent movie that should stand the test of time. – Rosie Fletcher

24. Paddington 2 (2017)

Ah, the eternal debate about which perfect film is somehow more perfect: Paddingtonor Paddington 2. We’re giving 2017’s Paddington 2 the edge on this list because of how it expertly weaves a warmhearted yet still hilarious message about prison reform in with its family-friendly hijinks. Like a cake with a file in it, Paddington 2 will nourish your soul and set you free. Hugh Grant’s finest hour, too. – Mike Cecchini

23. Crazy Rich Asians (2018)

Crazy Rich Asians, based on the Kevin Kwan novel of the same name, is notable for several reasons. Released by Warner Bros., it was unusual for a comedy from a major studio to feature a cast of actors predominantly of Asian descent. It also made a boatload of money, becoming the highest grossing rom-com of the 2010s. And it was nominated for multiple awards.

It’s also notable for being extremely good natured and very funny. The movie stars Constance Wu as a young woman meeting her partner’s (Henry Golding) family for the first time, only to discover they are one of the richest families in Singapore. A fish out of water comedy, which doesn’t stray too far from romance tropes, it’s elevated by great performances (Awkwafina, Michelle Yeoh, and others are great in this), bright, glamorous visuals, and just enough sweetness to make it a satisfying watch all round. – RF

22. Chef (2014)

A hidden amuse-bouche of laughs that Jon Favreau sneaked in between big helpings of Marvel movies and Disney remakes, this feel-good portrait of a chef’s life in free fall is still our favorite thing he’s done since the first Iron Man. In the film, Favreau writes, directs, and stars as a trendy Los Angeles chef whose world is upended by a particularly nasty restaurant review and his subsequent meltdown reaction to it on Twitter. Now forced to retreat to working in a food truck, he rediscovers a zest for living through the camaraderie of his precocious son (Emjay Anthony) and an always ebullient John Leguizamo as his trusty sous chef. It’s breezy, sweet stuff told with a genuine warmth by an artist who took this golden opportunity to get away from franchise mass consumption and make something a little more flavorful.  – David Crow

21. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)

Walk Hard is better than every single Oscar-bait music biopic whose tropes it was spoofing upon its release in 2007 and the ones that came after. It also features, and I absolutely mean this, the greatest cover of David Bowie’s “Starman” of all time, courtesy of John C. Reilly. It was a beautiful ride, Dewey. – MC

20. The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

Picking your favorite Wes Anderson movie is like picking your favorite flavor of chocolate from Mendl’s. They’re all delicious! Yet one of the sweetest, albeit with a dark bitterness underneath, is 2014’s The Grand Budapest Hotel. It’s also the director’s most exciting and plot-driven adventure. Calling as much on the styles of Alfred Hitchcock as Ernst Lubitsch, this one creates a Matryoshka doll of narratives in which we experience a story within a story, within another person’s interpretation of that story. Colors, set designs, and even aspect ratios acknowledge these shifting perspectives.

But at the heart of it all is M. Gustave (Ralph Fiennes), a 1930s grand hotel concierge and European continental modeled after Stefan Zweig. He is a man out of time even in this period setting; a relic of late 19th century charm and decorum that matches Wes’ droll symmetry like a glove. However, the filmmaker’s familiar artifice has never seemed more fragile, and vulnerable to shatter, as in this era of European history where civilization seemed less like an ideal than a charnel house. The movie is hilarious, whimsical, and thrilling, even. Which makes it all the more tragic. – DC

19. Lady Bird (2017)

Ever hear the phrase “tragedy is when something bad happens to you, comedy is when something bad happens to someone else?” With her solo directorial debut Lady Bird, indie darling Greta Gerwig decides to flip that phrase. The 2017 coming-of-age comedy drama is not necessarily autobiographical for Gerwig but does draw from her experiences growing up as a disaffected youth in Sacramento in the early 2000s.

Saoirse Ronan stars as Christine MacPherson, a California senior in high school who wants to be known as “Lady Bird.” The film follows Lady Bird through typical slings and arrows of adolescence. Like many teenagers, Lady Bird wants to get out of her dead-end town, leaving her overbearing mother Marion (Laurie Metcalf) behind to move to the East Coast for college. Also like many teenagers, she wants to smooch Timothée Chalamet and gets the chance to, hooking up with his character Kyle, which leads to predictable teenage complications. All in all, Lady Bird is a warm, empathetic exploration of youth—equal parts funny, relatable, and devastating. – Alec Bojalad

18. In Bruges (2008)

As the feature directing debut of playwright and screenwriter Martin McDonagh—who would go on to write and direct Seven Psychopaths (2012) and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)—In Bruges is a dark crime comedy about two professional hitmen who are dispatched to the Belgian city of Bruges, where the older one (Brendan Gleeson) is supposed to knock off the younger one (Colin Farrell) for mistakenly killing a child during a job.

Their friendship prevents that from happening, however, and they are soon the targets of their boss (a devious Ralph Fiennes) as they also find themselves entwined with various odd personalities within the charmingly Old World city. McDonagh’s salty mix of humor, emotion, and violence may not be to everyone’s taste, but it’s also surprisingly sweet and unpredictable, with Gleeson and Farrell outstanding in their roles. – Don Kaye

17. Game Night (2017)

A fresh mainstream comedy directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley (directors of the upcoming Dungeons and Dragons film), Game Night follows a group of friends whose weekly game night gathering turns into more than a game when one of their members is kidnapped during what they think is a role-playing scenario.

Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams are the couple who usually host game night while Kyle Chandler plays Bateman’s brother, whose double life as a black marketeer initiates the evening’s out-of-control activities. All are superb, especially Jesse Plemons as the suspicious, wound-too-tightly cop who lives next door. It may not be a great film, but the laughs are plentiful and the gentle pokes at “routine” suburban life are harmless fun. – DK

16. Silver Linings Playbook (2012)

It’s remembered as the movie that won Jennifer Lawrence an Oscar, but it’s so much more than that. Directed by David O. Russell at his most sanguine and as a love letter to his son, Silver Linings Playbook in retrospect appears like the perfect romantic comedy for its era: a time where economic uncertainty and anxieties have diminished folks’ optimism. Things certainly seem initially bleak for Pat (Bradley Cooper), a former high school teacher who lost his wife due to his failed attempts to white-knuckle his bipolar disorder, and Tiffany (Lawrence), a young widow who is again living at home with her parents. Yet the fact the two can find each other and cha-cha-cha (badly) to their own off-center version of a happy ending, complete with the support of a community populated by appealingly oddball performances in the ensemble, including Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver, makes this effortlessly charming, if a tad elegiac. – DC 

15. The Death of Stalin (2017)

Armando Iannucci’s masterpiece about the chaotic hours and days after Joseph Stalin croaked is filmed with all the gravity of a historical drama, features a murderer’s row of inspiredly cast comedic talent (see: Steve Buscemi as Nikita Kruschev), and gives not one microscopic fuck about matching accents with its real-life subject matter (see also: Steve Buscemi as Nikita Kruschev). A darkly hilarious romp wherein an egomaniacal strongman dictator dies slowly in a puddle of his own piss as underlings humiliate themselves and scheme against each other in increasingly ridiculous fashion. 10/10 would totally watch a legacy sequel. – MC

14. Dolemite is My Name (2019)

Merupakan kejahatan besar bahwa Dolemite yang menyenangkan adalah nama saya tidak dinominasikan untuk satu Oscar. Namun, mengingat subjek biopik ini, itu juga cocok. Eddie Murphy memberikan penampilan terbaiknya dalam waktu sekitar tiga dekade sebagai komedian, penyanyi, dan legenda blaxploitation Rudy Ray Moore dalam sebuah film yang entah bagaimana hangat dan penuh kasih sayang seperti yang lucu. Wesley Snipes muncul untuk belokan mencuri adegan positif sebagai D'Urville Martin juga. Nyalakan sesuatu dan nikmati lagi dan lagi. - MCDolemite Is My Name wasn’t nominated for a single Oscar. And yet, given the subject of this biopic, it’s also fitting. Eddie Murphy delivers his best performance in approximately three decades as comedian, singer, and blaxploitation legend Rudy Ray Moore in a movie that is somehow as warm and affectionate as it is screamingly funny. Wesley Snipes pops in for a positively scene-stealing turn as D’Urville Martin too. Light something up and enjoy again and again. – MC

13. Zombieland (2009)

Zombieland ditayangkan perdana di bioskop pada 2 Oktober 2009, lebih dari setahun sebelum drama zombie AMC yang sudah berjalan lama, The Walking Dead, tiba dan mengubah lanskap bercerita zombie selamanya. Waktunya kebetulan karena sementara jalan kaki yang berjalan dengan kuat mendirikan kiamat zombie sebagai slog mengerikan yang tak berkesudahan dalam pola pikir budaya kita, Zombieland memahami hal lain tentang mayat hidup: mereka agak menyenangkan dan konyol! Disutradarai oleh Ruben Fleischer, Zombieland secara retroaktif menampilkan gips all-star dengan Jesse Eisenberg (Columbus), Woody Harrelson (Tallahassee), Emma Stone (Wichita), dan Abigail Breslin (Little Rock). & NBSP; premiered in theaters on Oct. 2, 2009, just over a year before AMC’s long-running zombie drama, The Walking Dead, arrived and changed the zombie storytelling landscape forever. The timing was fortuitous because while The Walking Dead firmly established the zombie apocalypse as a never-ending horrifying slog in our cultural mindset, Zombieland understood something else about the undead: they’re kind of fun and goofy! Directed by Ruben Fleischer, Zombieland retroactively features an all-star cast with Jesse Eisenberg (Columbus), Woody Harrelson (Tallahassee), Emma Stone (Wichita), and Abigail Breslin (Little Rock). 

Di tengah semua kekacauan orang mati, Columbus membuat pemirsa diberi tahu tentang berbagai aturannya untuk bertahan hidup "Zombieland." Ini termasuk hal-hal seperti "Travel Light," "Dapatkan Mitra Kick-Ass," "Periksa Kursi Kursi," dan yang paling penting, Cardio. & NBSP; Zombieland membawa rasa menyenangkan dan main -main yang kuat sehingga sulit untuk menahan pesona film, gerombolan orang mati yang berantakan dan semuanya. Jika klimaks di taman hiburan literal tidak membuat senyum di wajah Anda, cameo yang sangat tak terduga dan lucu sebelum itu. - ABZombieland brings such a strong sense of fun and playfulness that it’s hard to resist the movie’s charms, shambling hordes of the dead and all. If the climax at a literal amusement park doesn’t put a smile on your face, the wildly unexpected and hilarious cameo before it will. – AB

12. Pitch Perfect (2012)

Di belakang popularitas Glee, Pitch Perfect adalah komedi yang ditetapkan di dunia Acapella yang kompetitif. ACA-SCUSE ME? Baiklah. Terstruktur seperti film olahraga dengan subplot romantis yang dibumbui, itu adalah yang terbaik ketika fokus pada Barden Bellas, sebuah kelompok yang semuanya perempuan yang membutuhkan ledakan energi baru dalam tindakan mereka. Ini adalah ansambel yang kuat yang tiba di bioskop pasca-pengiring tangan-Anda hanya perlu melihat poster untuk mengkonfirmasi bahwa Pitch Perfect adalah mengejar audiens yang sama. Itu bukan hal yang buruk. Hasil apa adalah komedi wanita yang lucu dengan menggedor lagu dan sesekali humor kotor di latar belakang. & Nbsp; - rfGlee, Pitch Perfect is a comedy set in the world of competitive acapella. Aca-scuse me? Well quite. Structured like a sports movie with a romance subplot peppered in, it’s at its best when it’s focused on the Barden Bellas, an all-female group in need of a new burst of energy in their act. It’s a strong ensemble that arrived in cinemas post-Bridesmaids—you only need to take a look at the poster to confirm that Pitch Perfect was chasing the same audience. That’s no bad thing though. What results is a funny, female comedy with banging tunes and the occasional bit of gross out humor in the background. – RF

11. Gila, Bodoh, Cinta (2011)

Pra-La La Land Ryan Gosling dan Emma Stone memamerkan chemistry luar biasa mereka dalam rom-com dual-plotline ini. Steve Carell memerankan Cal, yang baru -baru ini terpisah dari istrinya Emily (Julianne Moore) dan sekarang dididik dalam cara menjemput wanita dengan lebih dingin dari Ice Jacob (Gosling). Atau setidaknya itulah pengaturan awal. Berikut ini adalah pandangan kompleks yang bernuansa, sensitif, tetapi kadang -kadang menampar hubungan dan seks melalui mata generasi yang berbeda. Para pemain kelas atas tidak menyakitkan, tetapi naskah yang sangat baik Dan Fogelman menavigasi banyak utas dan membawa banyak tawa. - RFLa La Land Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone showcased their extraordinary chemistry in this dual-plotline rom-com. Steve Carell plays Cal, who is recently separated from his wife Emily (Julianne Moore) and is now schooled in how to pick up women by the cooler than ice Jacob (Gosling). Or at least that’s the initial set up. What follows is a complex nuanced, sensitive, but sometimes slapstick look at relationships and sex through the eyes of different generations. The top class cast doesn’t hurt, but Dan Fogelman excellent script navigates multiple threads and brings multiple laughs throughout. – RF

10. The Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

Sangat mudah untuk dilupakan, ditulis karena mungkin dalam filmografi Wes Anderson yang paling berharga, betapa lucunya Mr. Fox yang fantastis. Ini adalah fakta yang dikaburkan oleh keahlian yang sempurna dari animasi stop-motion, pemeran suara all-star, dan bahan sumber sastra. Tapi itu tidak mengubah fakta bahwa film ini sama lucu seperti itu indah, dengan sejumlah lelucon halus yang tampaknya tak terbatas yang dibangun ke latar belakang untuk pergi bersama dengan kecerdasannya yang luar biasa, membuat lebih (sempurna) konyol oleh Gips hewan yang menggemaskan. Tanpa henti yang dapat diserahkan kembali. - MCThe Fantastic Mr. Fox is. It’s a fact obscured by the impeccable craftsmanship of its stop-motion animation, its all-star voice cast, and its literary source material. But that doesn’t change the fact that this movie is as funny as it is beautiful, with a seemingly infinite number of subtle gags built in to the background to go along with its superbly dry wit, made all the more (perfectly) ridiculous by its adorable cast of animals. Endlessly rewatchable. – MC

9. 21 Jump Street (2012)

Jika satu-satunya hal yang keluar dari 21 Jump Street adalah pronunikasi ungkapan Jonah Hill yang terlalu lucu dari ungkapan "Finger Poppin 'masing-masing' bajingan" itu sudah akan sukses. Beruntung untuk semua, bagaimanapun, ada film dua jam lucu yang dibangun di sekitar satu momen untuk ukuran yang baik. 21Jump Street secara longgar meminjam premisnya dari drama TV klasik dengan nama yang sama yang dibintangi Johnny Depp dan Peter Deluise. Dalam film tersebut, dua polisi bernama Schmidt (Hill) dan Jenko (Channing Tatum) diberi kesempatan untuk kembali ke sekolah menengah sebagai agen yang menyamar yang menyelidiki penyebaran obat sintetis yang berbahaya. & NBSP;21 Jump Street was Jonah Hill’s hilarious over-pronunciation of the phrase “finger poppin’ each others’ assholes” it would already have been a rousing success. Luckily for all, however, there’s a hilarious two-hour movie built around that one moment for good measure. 21 Jump Street loosely borrows its premise from the classic TV drama of the same name that starred Johnny Depp and Peter DeLuise. In the film, two cops named Schmidt (Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are given the chance to return to high school as undercover agents investigating the spread of a dangerous synthetic drug.

Menghidupkan kembali tahun -tahun sekolah menengah mereka adalah sesuatu yang sangat ingin mereka lakukan karena keduanya melewatkan prom sekolah menengah mereka. Namun, sangat mengejutkan mereka, Nerdy Schmidt jauh lebih populer di antara kerumunan sekolah menengah kontemporer daripada Jenko yang tampan, namun brutal. Disutradarai oleh komedi animasi yang produktif maestros Phil Lord dan Christopher Miller, 21 Jump Street mengambil konsep lelah yang tidak memiliki bisnis bekerja sebagai komedi dan membuatnya bekerja. Ternyata ketika sejumlah besar orang lucu menyatukan kepala mereka, tawa biasanya akan mengikuti. - AB21 Jump Street takes a tired concept that has no business working as a comedy and makes it work anyway. It turns out that when a whole host of funny people put their heads together, laughter will usually follow. – AB

8. Tropic Thunder (2008)

Dari bintangnya yang gagal dan mementingkan diri sendiri (Ben Stiller) hingga sutradara yang bingung (Steve Coogan) hingga eksekutif studio vulkaniknya yang sombong, menjengkelkan, (Tom Cruise yang tidak dapat dikenali dalam kinerja yang berada di antara mereka yang paling cemerlang), Tropic Thunder adalah salah satu dari Tropic Thunder adalah salah satu dari Tropic Thunder adalah salah satu dari Tropic Thunder adalah salah satu dari Tropic Thunder adalah salah satu dari Tropic Thunder adalah salah satu dari Tropic Thunder adalah salah satu dari Tropic Thunder adalah salah satu dari Tropic Thunder adalah salah satu dari Tropic Thunder adalah salah satu dari Tropic Thunder adalah salah satu dari Tropic Thunder adalah salah satu dari Tropic Thunder adalah salah satu dari Tropic Thunder adalah salah satu dari Tropic Thunder adalah salah satu dari Tropic Thunder adalah salah satu dari Tropic Thunder) Satires Hollywood yang paling lucu yang pernah dibuat. Stiller's Tugg Speedman dan beberapa aktor idiot lainnya mendapati diri mereka berjuang untuk bertahan hidup di hutan berbahaya sambil berpikir itu semua masih merupakan bagian dari film yang mereka syuting, bahkan dengan momok kematian aktual yang tidak menghentikan penghargaan diri mereka.Tropic Thunder is one of the most deliciously hilarious satires of Hollywood ever made. Stiller’s Tugg Speedman and several other idiot actors find themselves fighting to survive in a dangerous jungle while thinking it’s all somehow still part of the movie they’re shooting, with even the specter of actual death not stopping their preening self-regard.

Ulasan film terbaru

Di tengah-tengah semuanya adalah Robert Downey Jr sebagai Kirk Lazarus, aktor Australia pemenang Oscar yang mengambil metode akting dan pretensi Hollywood terlalu jauh-ia memengaruhi suara "urban" dan menggelapkan kulitnya dengan makeup "bedah" untuk dimainkan untuk bermain Seorang perwira militer kulit hitam dari Louisiana-dalam pertunjukan yang disalahpahami hanya 14 tahun yang lalu dan mungkin bahkan tidak akan pernah keluar dari pra-produksi hari ini. Dirilis hanya dua bulan setelah tamasya pertamanya sebagai Iron Man, Tropic Thunder menyegel kembalinya Downey sebagai salah satu bintang utama kami. Ini juga mewakili titik tinggi untuk Stiller sebagai sutradara serta tusuk sate yang bagus dari tipe -tipe Hollywood yang tinggal di dalam "The Bubble." - DKTropic Thunder sealed Downey’s comeback as one of our major stars. It also represented a high point for Stiller as a director as well as a nice skewering of those Hollywood types who live inside “the bubble.” – DK

7. Booksmart (2019)

Olivia Wilde mengungkapkan dirinya sebagai salah satu sutradara pertama kali yang paling cepat dalam beberapa tahun terakhir dengan The Winsome Booksmart. Sebuah film tentang dua orang buangan sekolah menengah - walaupun karena pilihan karena kecenderungan akademis mereka - memiliki satu malam liar sebelum kelulusan berutang lebih dari sedikit ke luar biasa, tetapi beberapa dari kita berpendapat bahwa ini adalah variasi yang lebih baik pada konsep, dengan hubungan antara antara Kaitlyn Dever's Amy dan Beanie Feldstein, Molly, sama putus asa tetapi juga jauh lebih menawan dalam apa yang dikatakan tentang persahabatan pertama, terutama antara wanita muda. Ada juga kasih sayang dan empati yang lebih besar di kamera Wilde untuk pengalaman Gen-Z modern yang menghindari Snark sambil tetap menemukan hati dari tawa perut yang remehik. - DCBooksmart. A film about two high school outcasts—albeit by choice due to their academic proclivities—having one wild night before graduation owes more than a little to Superbad, but some of us would argue this is the better variation on the concept, with the relationship between Kaitlyn Dever’s Amy and Beanie Feldstein’s Molly being just as desperate but also a lot more endearing in what it has to say about first friendships, especially between young women. There’s also a greater affection and empathy in Wilde’s camera for the modern Gen-Z experience that evades snark all while still finding the heart of an uproarious belly laugh. – DC

6. What We Do in the Shadows (2014)

Film ketiga yang disutradarai oleh Taika Waititi dari Selandia Baru (yang sebenarnya ia sutradara, ikut menulis, dan ikut membintangi dengan Jemaine Clement) adalah mockumentary yang melekat pada empat vampir yang tinggal bersama di sebuah flat di Wellington, menavigasi jalan mereka melalui The The Way Through the the Dunia modern dan berbagai interaksi mereka dengan penduduk setempat lainnya, serta manusia serigala dan makhluk supernatural terdekat lainnya.

Para vampir tidak mengerti nikmat ketika mereka menemukan kehidupan sehari -hari mereka di dunia yang telah lama bergerak melewati mereka, membuat film itu entah bagaimana lebih lucu ketika mereka masih berhasil menumpahkan banyak darah dari korban mereka. Favorit kultus, film ini meluncurkan serial TV yang terkenal sambil melontarkan Waititi dan gaya humornya yang aneh dan untung untuk terkenal dengan upaya sutradara seperti Jojo Rabbit (2019) dan Thor: Ragnarök (2017). - DKJojo Rabbit (2019) and Thor: Ragnarök (2017). – DK

5. Easy A (2010)

Easy A bukanlah tindakan amal publik bagi semua remaja Amerika. Terlalu lama memiliki siswa sekolah menengah negara itu harus menderita melalui klasik Nathaniel Hawthorne yang membosankan klasik The Scarlet Letter tanpa adaptasi film yang layak. Sebagai komedi modern tentang novel Hawthorne tahun 1850, Easy A tidak akan membantu siapa pun melewati bahasa Inggris kelas 10, tetapi paling tidak itu tidak akan membuat mereka mati. Oke, oke, Hawthorne membenci, Easy a adalah komedi kecil yang indah. & Nbsp; is nothing short of an act of public charity to all American teens. Too long have the country’s high schoolers had to suffer through Nathaniel Hawthorne’s punishingly boring classic The Scarlet Letter without a viable movie adaptation to turn to. As a modern comedic take on Hawthorne’s 1850 novel, Easy A won’t help anyone pass 10th grade English, but at the very least it won’t bore them to death. Okay, okay, Hawthorne hate aside, Easy A is a wonderful little comedy. 

Emma Stone (yang telah muncul beberapa kali dalam daftar ini) mendapatkan giliran bintang filmnya sebagai Olive Penderghast, seorang siswa sekolah menengah berusia 17 tahun di California. Setelah Olive berbohong tentang kehilangan keperawanannya kepada seorang mahasiswa, dia segera mendapatkan reputasi sebagai "pelacur kotor." Alih -alih lari dari tuduhan, bagaimanapun, Olive mengambil inspirasi dari pahlawan Scarlet Letter Hester Prynne dan bersandar ke dalamnya. Easy A adalah eksplorasi yang cerdas dan empati dari politik sekolah menengah yang juga cukup lucu. Batu selalu sepadan dengan harga masuk tetapi film memilih untuk menambah bintangnya yang menawan dengan para pemain yang menampilkan Lisa Kudrow, Amanda Bynes, Penn Badgley, Gereja Thomas Haden, Patricia Clarkson, dan Stanley Tucci yang merupakan cara Tucci'd ke atas. - ABThe Scarlet Letter’s heroine Hester Prynne and leans into it. Easy A is a smart, empathetic exploration of high school politics that is also quite funny. Stone is always worth the price of admission but the movie opts to augment its charming star with a cast that features Lisa Kudrow, Amanda Bynes, Penn Badgley, Thomas Haden Church, Patricia Clarkson, and a Stanley Tucci who is all the way Tucci’d up. – AB

4. Superbad (2007)

Superbad mewakili skrip pertama yang pernah dikerjakan oleh kolaborator komedi superstar Seth Rogen dan Evan Goldberg. Duo Kanada memulai konsep konsep sementara baru berusia 13 tahun. Pada saat Rogen dan Goldberg cukup berhasil untuk mendapatkan film yang diproduksi, mereka jauh dari masa remajanya tetapi keaslian pengalaman hidup diri mereka yang lebih muda dapat terasa sama dalam film yang sama sekali lucu dan secara mengejutkan mempengaruhi. represents the first script that superstar comedy collaborators Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg ever worked on. The Canadian duo began a draft of the concept while just 13 years old. By the time Rogen and Goldberg were successful enough to get the film produced, they were well out of their teenage years but the authenticity of their younger selves’ lived-in experience can be felt all the same in this utterly hilarious and surprisingly affecting flick.

Michael Cera and Jonah Hill star as the creatively named Seth and Evan, two high school seniors and best friends. When the specter of going to separate colleges and growing up begins to loom, Seth and Evan try to grasp one last summer of youthful nonsense, promising to buy alcohol for their classmate Jules’ (Emma Stone) party. The journey to secure that booze and get to Jules brings Seth, Evan, and their frenemy Fogell, a.k.a. McLovin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) into contact with murderous gangsters, two corrupt cops, and a whole bunch of vomit. – AB

3. Bridesmaids (2011)

Paul Feig’s celebration of female friendships is a well-loved comedy staple now, so it’s easy to forget that when it landed it actually felt quite groundbreaking. Not that it should have been (as Feig himself stressed to Den of Geek). Kristen Wiig stars as Annie, maid of honor to her best mate Lillian, who feels threatened when Lillian’s seemingly perfect new friend Helen (Rose Byrne) gets involved.

Hardly controversial stuff, but the movie felt fresh and subversive simply because audiences were unused to seeing a bunch of funny women being funny and talking about things women talk about. Also there were some gross out jokes, but this is the element that has aged least well. What absolutely endures is the sharp script, great performances, and general sense of joy throughout. – RF

2. Knives Out (2019)

Who knew murder could be so good-natured or life-affirming? Apparently Rian Johnson since he turned the Agatha Christie-styled whodunit murder mystery on its head. All the hallmarks are here: a gentleman sleuth of questionable accent (Daniel Craig), a star-studded cast of suspects (too many to list, but dominated all by an imperious Jamie Lee Curtis), and an eccentric victim who should’ve known better about all the motives he was handing out like candy on the night of his death (Christopher Plummer in a sublime final theatrical performance). Yet when Johnson rips the rug out from under you in the first act by revealing the put-upon and good humored nurse (Ana de Armas) accidentally killed the patriarch… well things go sideways fast.

That first contour is just one of many that Johnson deploys with a surgeon’s precision throughout Knives Out, or as Craig’s “Southern” Benoit Blanc might say, this film has a donut hole in the center of its donut hole. It’s whacky, endlessly rewatchable and quotable, and ultimately an actor’s showcase for the whole ensemble, including de Armas who gets the star turn she deserves as Marta, a woman whose stumble into a world of murder and cover-up also turns out to make her a better person—or certainly wiser to American class dynamics. Who knew? – DC

1. Hot Fuzz (2007)

READERS’ CHOICE

Author Thomas Wolfe once said you can’t go home again. Maybe. But you can always blow it up. That’s what Edgar Wright set out to do in iconic fashion via Hot Fuzz, the second and best of his and co-writer Simon Pegg’s fabled Cornetto Trilogy. Filmed at Wright’s home of Wells in Somerset—a “cathedral city” (read: village) in southern England—the filmmaker returned to old haunts to craft a guns-blazing actioner made in the image of Shane Black buddy cop scripts and Michael Bay camera movements.

The genius of Hot Fuzz, however, is that it doesn’t start out this way. Initially, this is a scathingly sardonic satire of bucolic English country living and the type of prestige BBC television that might be set there. In other words, it’s hell on earth for London’s big city cop Nicolas Angel (Pegg). But as he and hapless action movie geek Danny Butterman (Nick Frost) uncover a web of murder throughout the community, slowly their world morphs into the Hollywood cheesfests of Danny’s DVD collection. The final 20 minutes are a glorious crescendo of action movie clichés and belly-bursting laughs that still echo on 15 years later. – DC
