One wonders what they’d be talking about at the barbershop in 2020. Tim Story’s 2002 film is charming and funny, held together by a great cast that includes Ice Cube, Cedric the Entertainer, and Anthony Anderson. BarbershopĪudiences fell so in love with this look at barbershop culture in the Black community that they turned this low-budget film into a franchise with two sequels. Tiffany Haddish steals the movie, but it’s really the bystanders who make it work.

Andre plays a Florida Guy who travels with his buddy (Lil Rel Howery) to chase after who he thinks is the love of his life.

Bad TripĮric Andre turns his prank-tastic schtick into a brilliant hidden camera comedy that focuses its Borat-esque energy on the good people of this country, those who are shocked by Andre’s ridiculous behavior, and often reach out to help. She was hysterical with material worthy of her talents and often elevated films that weren’t. It reminds one how sad it is that Cameron Diaz has retired. The kind of adult comedy that may never get released in theaters again, this is the story of a foul-mouthed middle school teacher who is very bad at her job. Jake Kasdan’s 2011 comedy has found a loyal audience on Netflix, who have regularly returned it to the top ten offerings on the service. Some of it is a bit dated, but it catches just enough lightning in a bottle in terms of casting to justify another look. Brooks’ romantic comedy is a perfect example of a movie that caught its cast at just the right moment, getting one of the last Nicholson performances that could be called charming and supporting it with great work from Hunt and Greg Kinnear. As Good As It Getsīelieve it or not, this is the last movie to win both the Oscar for Best Actor (Jack Nicholson) and Best Actress (Helen Hunt). Raul Julia, Anjelica Huston, and Christopher Lloyd leas the creepiest family in town, although the movie is arguably stolen by Joan Cusack as a serial killer who married Uncle Fester. Addams Family Valuesįorget those recent animated movies and go back to the original franchise, especially the 1993 sequel by Barry Sonnenfeld that’s weirder and even better than the first movie. Gleeson plays a man who can travel back in time, and uses that ability to alter his romantic future, learning that it’s better to accept life one day at a time with all of its imperfections. Take this Richard Curtis ( Yesterday) movie that features Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams at their most charming. The romantic comedy genre has been in a dire state for many years now, but Hollywood occasionally produces a clever twist on the stale formula. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum star in the adaptation of the ‘80s TV series but they turn it into a charming flick about perception, identity, and the best and worst of high school life. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller made their live action directorial debuts with this 2012 buddy comedy that really has no right to be as funny as it is.
