Yep, so good. From a long lost era when comedies were good.

Hollywood seems to be in a particular comedy-drought for the last several years. What comedies they do put out either suck completely, or maybe have 1 or 2 good scenes at most. Something like Planes is great in every scene. I can't even remember the last great modern comedy that I really loved. Bridesmaids, maybe?

I thought 21 and 22 jump street were good, also liked the other guys, but yeah, it feels like straight comedies are getting far less focus/talent in the era of the quipping superhero.

I'd say it's because of social media diluting the "hangout" charm of most comedians. Most of them could coast on a concept without needing to follow through in the 80s and 90s, but now that the internet is full of bite-size comedy in every conceivable form, a comedy movie actually has to be a good movie and most of them aren't up to that challenge.

Lord and Miller seem to be the only consistent big budget comedy writers/directors at the moment. Comedies are still recovering from the 00s Apatow curse of "we don't actually need a script. Just improv for 15 hours and we'll piece a movie together out of it."

Hot Fuzz is so good it's an honorary 80's comedy.

It's easily the best comedy from ~1996 to 2019.

good boys was good and what we do in shadows was great. the problem is studios only want to make hard r comedies that ape other hard r comedies. super trooper 2 had to raise all the money itself and it was passable and made a profit but it didnt make marvel level profit so fox didnt gaf

Awesome, it looks incredible but I was not on the ball about catching it in theatres. Here's hoping it lands on a streaming service soon.

Waldorf and Statler as Robert and Jacob Marley is the absolute best, I love those two guys.

It comes so close to being perfect, but Rizzo the Rat is just a little too "winking 90s" about everything.

Marley and Marley is a loving jam though
