In order to understand the best comedies of the 2010s, it's important to travel back further through history. The 2010s were a weird decade for the comedy genre. The mid-2000s were marked by the introduction of “the Judd Apatow influence”—a type of comedy that was heavily improvised, incredibly dirty, but also surprisingly sweet and heartfelt. Audiences ate it up, turning films like The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Superbad into huge hits.
Release Date December 13, 2014 Director Matthew Vaughn Cast Colin Firth , Samuel L. Jackson , Mark Strong , Taron Egerton , Michael Caine Runtime 129 24 'Ready or Not' Directed by Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin Samara Weaving stars as Grace, a young bride turned badass survivor in Ready or Not. The horror comedy sees Grace marry into the strange and wealthy Le Domas family, known for their board game empire.
It’s The Big Lebowski by way of PTA, with Joaquin Phoenix delivering a hilariously committed performance that showcases some terrific physical comedy and a willingness to really get weird. It’s a film that works so much better when you stop trying to figure it all out, sit back, and enjoy the show.
This is a movie in which nothing and everything matters all at the same time. It’s a film that stops dead to present a closeted-movie-stars song and dance number featuring Channing Tatum, and a film that sidelines huge movie star George Clooney in a room with a bunch of communists for almost the entire runtime. The Coen Brothers have a wicked sense of humor, and Hail, Caesar! puts that on full display to hilarious, surprising effect.
McCarthy is fantastic in the role, but the secret weapons of Spy are Jason Statham playing up his badass persona in hilarious fashion and Rose Byrne absolutely killing it as the film’s deadly villain. Spy isn’t breaking the mold in terms of structure or visual style, but in terms of laughs-per-minute, this one succeeds wildly.
