Movies in the Comedy genre

He's Just Not That Into You seeks to mine the same vein of romantic comedy ore as Love, Actually - the multi-arc story in which characters cross each others' paths and interact in an attempt to show different facets of one emotion. Unfortunately, ...

Heart Eyes almost does it. It arrives with enormous ambitions and comes damn close to nailing it. Yet, even though it doesn’t fully deliver what the filmmakers attempt, it nevertheless provides a fun 90-odd minutes whose beats are like that of a...

Combine the Farrelly Brothers (Bobby and Peter) with Ben Stiller, a Cameron Diaz lookalike, and a copious dose of bodily fluids in a raunchy romantic comedy, and what do you get? Not There's Something About Mary II, that's for sure, although that ...
