Featuring a wonderful British cast including Samantha Barks, Robert Kazinsky, Tony Way and Anna Chancellor we have the utterly hilarious For Love Or Money. Our film follows Mark, a man set to inherit £20m on a secret business deal. Little does he know that Connie, a girl he was in love with for…
When you hear the phrase ‘Political Romantic Comedy’ it doesn’t exactly make you rush to your local cinema, does it? But after seeing Longshot I may have to reassess how quickly I judged this film. Longshot is absolutely hilarious and may just be one of Rogen’s funniest features. Long Shot revolves around Charlize Theron who…
Observe and Report is one of the funniest films of the last 10 years. I totally understand that comedy is the most subjective genre, and some people won’t find this film as funny as I do. It’s some sort of strange, transgressive, unhinged piece of work that despite its crude surface exterior, has something perversely…
Being a huge fan of Marlon Wayans throughout his career and even having the honour of interviewing him for Haunted House. I was keen to check out this Netflix stand-up original. At the ripe ol age of 45 Marlon still puts his heart, soul and his body into getting the most ludicrous reactions from any…
Let me start this off by saying I love game nights. Between a few rounds of Cards Against Humanity, Scrabble, and Parcheesi, there’s usually laughs aplenty. I’m also known for hosting a few murder mysteries each year. So when I came across the trailer for Game Night, I couldn’t resist checking out the latest action-comedy…
Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin are sublime in this film, and when they are on screen together, there’s a nervous energy that gives way to unexpected warmth with jolts of action and physical humor that’s a joy to behold. Directed by the sly Martin Brest (Beverly Hills Cop, Going In Style, Scent of a…
Boobs, beach and Baywatch. The movie adaptation of the 1990’s TV series certainly brings home a modern comedic touch, cheesy over the top (heavy on the CGI) action scenes and bromance comedy between our leads Mitch (Dwayne Johnson) and Brody (Zac Efron). These guys have great chemistry on-screen and help the plot to drive along…
The To Do List is the funniest film that I have seen in many moons. No other film in the last five years has made me laugh more or as hard as this one did. How this little comedic diamond in the rough isn’t more well-known and widely loved I’ll never understand. Oh wait, I…
The Men Who Stare At Goats will always make me laugh and I’ll always find this particular story extremely fascinating. Adapted by the smart screenwriter Peter Straughan (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Frank, The Debt, Our Brand is Crisis) from the brilliant book by gonzo-journalist and musician Jon Ronson, the film was directed by Grant Heslov,…
The King of Comedy is my #3 Martin Scorsese picture behind Goodfellas and Raging Bull. This is a brilliant black comedy, with an aggressively funny and hugely obnoxious performance from Robert De Niro. Jerry Lewis is utterly brilliant here, all dead pan and stern seriousness, completely unimpressed with De Niro’s idiotic pestering and absurd shenanigans….
I can’t believe that Bad Santa (or Badder Santa, whatever version you prefer) is almost 15 years old. It’s one of the funniest films that I’ve ever seen. It never gets old. It only gets funnier with each viewing. There’s a diseased sense of misanthropy running through the rotted heart of this cheerfully vulgar film,…
This movie makes me happy. It makes me laugh. It leaves me with a fat grin on my face every time I see it. Jack Nicholson as POTUS and a sleazy car salesman in the same film! I can remember seeing this bit of craziness on opening night 20 years ago (this December!), hot on…
Last Supper is a 2015 black comedy film written and directed by Param Gill. It stars Eddie Griffin, Josh Meyers, Najarra Townsend, Dave Vescio, Mindy Robinson and Penny Marshall. The story revolves around two lunatics who escape a mental institution to make a film about finding a princess and being rewarded with a heroes…
The Wedding Ringer Directed by Jeremy Garelick, and written by Garelick and Jay Lavender the team behind the 2006 comedy The Break-Up starring Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston. The story revolves around Doug (Josh Gad) so hopelessly caught up in his busy work schedule that he doesn’t have any friends to be his best man…
