Comedies are essential for any moviegoer.
After some serious stuff (Amour [2012] or 21 Grams [2003], not that there bad movies, but they are serious and extremely realistic) everyone needs a break.
Everyone has an immature side that makes him or her happy. Everyone in this world has a serious need to cut off from this screw world like "Linkin Park"(guys who numbed the world by "Numb") says in their song "The Messenger"(Album - A thousand suns).
So as usual after 3 months silence I bring to you a movie list which will make you laugh till your stomach hurt and "so called" comedies to stay away from. You decide.
The ratings are as usually a personal perspective.

1.This is the end (2013)
One of the last years best films for it's creativity and fun "This is the end" lives up to the reputation of Seth Rogen and his cast who drives the movie into becoming a comic masterpiece. Mainly for it's sarcastic remarks, witty acting and most of all for it's real references and it's unforgettable ending this is a real comic treat.
Overall - 4/5
2. Anchorman : The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
One of the most quoted movies of our time, this is Adam Mckay's and Will Farell's masterpiece. With it's funny remarks and unmatchable cast, this will live with every moviegoer as a great comic masterpiece.
Overall - 4/5
3. Knocked up (2007)
Mentioned as the best Judd Apatow film this is funny for it's detailed and well crafted jokes and superb performance by Seth Rogen.
Overall - 3.5/5
4. Go Goa Gone (2013)
With a cast of new comers and Saif Ali khan, "Go Goa Gone" became fourth in this list because it was extremely sarcastic and truly funny. Though it's a Hindi movie not the typical movie you will expect it to be. Don't miss it.
Overall - 3.5/5
5. Anchorman : The Legend Continues (2013)
After 9 years still the legend remains funny but not as the predecessor. Great cast as usual and stunning story line which is extremely awkward but typical "Ron". So what's not to like.
Overall - 3.5/5
6. The Heat (2013)
Superb duo for the "Buddy movie + Detective / Partner" formula Bullock and Mccarthy pulls off one of the best comedies in years to come.
Overall - 3.5/5
7. Chennai Express (2013)
Best Shah rukh Khan comedy since "Main Hoon Na (2004)", this blockbuster changes the course of Hindi movies as a action-Comedy combination.
Overall - 3.5/5
Oldie but a goodie, this movie reflects the office life of a normal working class person. And this is not serious stuff, This is really funny. Don't miss it.
Overall - 3.5/5
9. The World's End (2013)
If you are a fan of Edgar Wright and his style of film making and waited to the conclusion of the greatest "Cornetto Trilogy" this is it.
Finest cast and a celebration of a stylish film making you are definitely going to enjoy this.
Overall - 3.5/5
10. The Watch (2010)
A fun movie with a serious story line and some of it's jokes are still lame though it grasps some of the aspects in the american culture very sarcastic. Not that bad though. Don't miss it.
Overall - 3/5
11. The incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013)
Though we see The Steve Carell in it there is not much to laugh about it. He and his magician partner gives an average movie performance but not that great. but we still love him and its still is a good film.
Overall - 3/5
12. We're the millers (2013)
Can anything be more awkward than this movie. I guess not.But for many claims this to be the funniest film of the year, and I don't see it. It's not that funny but extremely painful to watch.
So rating it 3/5 might surprise you. But still it recovers from it's flaws because it has a good cast.And capitalization on that is perfectly done.
Overall - 3/5
13. The internship (2013)
The same scenario occurs in this film like "We're the Millers" but the duo makes it alive and makes it watchable. The Dr. Xavier scene is really funny.
Overall - 3/5
14. The Hangover Part 3 (2013)
This series are from good to worse.
The first was a masterpiece.
The second was okay.
The third is the worst.
So what more to say.
Overall - 3/5
Now comes the worst comedies, not that they are "unfunny" but there interpretation of the word comedy is so demeaning.
15. Grown ups (2010)
One of the worst and a typical Adam Sandler Comedy.
Sadly I Went through this and it's far screwed up Sequel.
And the problem is we will keep on watching Adam Sandler movies.
Overall - 2.5/5
16. Identity Thief (2013)
Overly dramatic and a "wannabe" comedy with a stunning duo this movie is a one to miss.
Overall - 2.5/5
17. 21 & Over (2013)
With bad conceptualized story trying to create a formula of youngsters in "The hangover Part 1" Kinda plot, and it's a grand scale misfire.Miss this. Don't waste your Time.
Overall - 2.5/5
18. Last Vegas (2013)
What can go wrong in this film?
Best cast, good story line (more of a retired Hangover movie.....)
But still unfunny jokes makes it a bad comedy with too much emotions and shallow coincidences.
But still loved the cast. So try it.
Overall - 2.5/5
19. Grown ups 2 (2013)
As I mentioned above there is nothing worse like this.Though it has a cast it is misguided. The worst position a film can be in the genre of comedies.
Overall - 2.5/5
20. Accepted (2006)
And the worst comedy so far in this list is "Accepted". So far the most ridiculous story I ever came across, stupid remarks. Everything is out of balance. Miss this gladly.
Overall - 2.5/5
These are not the worst comedies though I comparatively criticized them. It's a personal remark that I find some comedy's very serious and stupid and some are "LOL" worthy. So this criticsm is not to be taken seriously.
Take care.
Stay strong and fit.
