With a mix of original stories, reboots, and sequels, there's a comedy movie to tickle everyone's funny bone. Here are four films guaranteed to leave you chuckling, guffawing, and maybe even snorting with laughter.
"One of Them Days": This buddy comedy stars Keke Palmer and SZA as best friends and roommates who find themselves in a chaotic situation when their rent money disappears. Produced by Issa Rae, this film follows their hilarious attempts to recover the funds and avoid eviction, testing their friendship along the way. "One of Them Days" promises to be a delightful mix of humor and heart.
"The Naked Gun": Thirty-one years after the last film, the crime spoof-comedy franchise that parodies police procedurals gets a new cinematic entry starring Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr. This installment promises to deliver the same kind of slapstick humor and ridiculous situations that made the original films so beloved. With an original story written by Seth MacFarlane, expect plenty of over-the-top gags and silly scenarios.
"Freakier Friday": Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis reunite in this sequel to the 2003 hit. This time, Anna (Lohan) is a grown-up with her own daughter and a soon-to-be stepdaughter, suggesting that another body swap might be on the horizon. Expect the same heartwarming and humorous exploration of family dynamics that made the original so popular.
"The Bad Guys 2": The animal outlaws are back in this sequel to the 2022 animated heist comedy. Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Ms. Tarantula, Mr. Shark, and Mr. Piranha find it difficult to adapt to their new lives as "Good Guys" and are drawn back into their old ways by a group of female criminals. With the original cast and director returning, audiences can expect more of the same heist-filled fun.
