Comedy Movies
Sometimes, you are going to feel lousy no matter what. It could be something as trivial as a bad day at work, or as serious as the death of a close friend or family member. Either way, it can lead to feelings of great pain and despair.
In times like that, I really like to go and see a comedy movie to distract me for a few hours. There are a lot of comedies out there, and not all of them are good, but even the least can provide a pleasant diversion to keep you occupied for a while. And sometimes, that is a real blessing.
The thing that I have noticed about comedy movies is that it can be really hard to figure out ahead of time what you are going to like and what you are going to not be as in to. For example, take the movie Dodgeball. I only went to that comedy movie Because some of my friends were really into seeing it. I really didn’t expect to like it that much to be honest.
Nonetheless, once it started I was really digging it. It was a lot of fun. It was actually one of the funniest comedy movies I saw all year. I had expected it to be just frat boy humor, but it had an appeal that was much more universal than that.
One thing that I’ve never personally been into is romantic comedies. My girlfriend takes me along to them sometimes, but they just aren’t really my bag. Still, I have even seen a few of those that are pretty good. It just goes to show you that genre really doesn’t tell you very much about the movie. Sometimes the best movies are the ones that defy genre categorization. If the movie can really appeal to people outside of its traditional demographic, that is a sure sign that it is a high quality flick.
Still, for me the best comedy movies are the ones that I actually get to watch at home, curled up with my sweetie. There is something about watching a funny movie while relaxing on your back that lets you really Let go of all your worries and cares. It can be a classic comedy from the Golden age of Hollywood or a new, hip, modern film. It doesn’t matter too much to me. As long as I get to laugh and enjoy the movie with someone I care about.
