Or a dozen.Īfter a number of heated arguments and lots of name-calling and the occasional chaotic pie fight, we’ve narrowed down our choices for the greatest comedies of the 21st century. But they’ve all consistently cracked us up, in a two-decade-plus span in which - let’s be honest - we’ve need a laugh or two. Some of these movies have been gently witty, while others have displayed all of the subtlety of a dose of Sex Panther cologne. Since the turn of the century, we’ve giggled at the poignant and the perverse, rom-coms and raunch-coms, new-and-improved takes on singular comic types and loose, highly improvised ensemble pieces that spread the spotlight around. German father-daughter duos and goofy stoners? Bring ’em on! Headbanging teachers and backstabbing bureaucrats? Yes, we’ll take them too. Talking foxes, Huey Lewis-loving serial killers, world-saving marionettes, foulmouthed political fixers and boisterous bridesmaids - all great as well. What’s so funny? If you’re talking about screen comedy in the 21st century, the answer is easy: bumbling manchildren, the more boorish and clueless and stuck in their stunted adolescence, the better.
