Comedy Movies in the 2010s (1 Viewer)

Second a vote for The Other Guys. Timely and funny.

Other than that, it's probably because you can't really do comedy anymore without offending somebody or seeming "unwoke." We're at the point in cultural dialectic where humor is sterile, and sociopolitical stuff is almost never fun. 

Nonsense.

I understand this, but it seems like a lazy answer. Maybe it's just the troof, but I'd like to think there will always be a way to approach comedy, no matter the given social climate.

It's not truth. You're correct, the good comedies use things like societal pressures as a foil for comedy, not a roadblock.

Horrible bosses 1 and 2.  Both had me rolling.  Charlie Day is one of the funniest people ever on screen. 

HB1 was hilarious. I also thought Fist Fight was pretty darn funny.

I enjoyed them but many would classify them as "chick flicks".

I just think it's silly that we still have to put on that qualifier for rom-coms.

Daddy's Home and Daddy's Home 2.

My wife and I are both divorced and on our second marriage with a mixed family though so a lot of the stuff going on in those movies was relatable to us.

Spy was surprisingly funny.

Also, not a "traditional" comedy but I quite enjoyed "The Nice Guys"

Tag was a great movie.

Yeah I enjoyed this one too.  The part with the miscarriage had me cracking up.  (Has anyone ever said that sentence before?)

Of the one's listed Horrible Bosses, 21 Jump Street,  Hot Tub Time Machine, and Bridesmaids were all classics IMO.

I don't think crazy stupid love is just for the ladies and it is pretty damn funny. Great ensemble cast and great chemistry between Carill and Goosling.

p good point here

Maybe a comedy resurgence is due through the indie scene, and I know very little about indie films. Little Miss Sunshine was a great indie comedy (not in the 2010s).

The Big Sick is a really good indie comedy
