Bull Durham | 1988 | 99 | 1 | - A beautiful comedy that captures the spirit of grown men still chasing dreams almost perfectly. |
Crazy, Stupid, Love | 2011 | 89 | 2 | - I will defend my manhood 'till my last dying breath, but I loved this refreshingly complex, easy-on-the-sap romantic comedy |
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind | 2004 | 89 | 2 | - The whole film really revolves around the question "Is it better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all?". Where the film earns its brass is its surprising take and cogent emotional arguments to back it up. |
Everybody Wants Some | 2016 | 89 | 2 | - Though I am not a particular fan of Linklater's stuff in general, I must admit Everybody Wants Some is probably my favorite film of his to date. |
La La Land | 2016 | 89 | 2 | - Here's the thing: I wanted to not like this movie. As seeming like nothing but pure Oscar bait, I want to loathe this film with every ounce of my soul. But I liked it. Dare I admit it, it's very good. |
Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy (2004) | 2004 | 88 | 6 | - Full-on, gut-busting laughter. |
Trainwreck | 2015 | 88 | 6 | - It's refreshing when a comedy is so much more than cheap laughter. |
Jerry Maguire | 1996 | 87 | 8 | - Love, drama, and comedy. Sports, Office Work, Home life. It is literally impossible that this film doesn't have SOMETHING for you. |
Fever Pitch | 2005 | 85 | 9 | - 'Fever Pitch' pretends to know what both genders want and gives them each their piece. The girl, looking for a rom-com, gets a story of a young and unstable relationship. Her male counterpart gets to enjoy a film about the highs and lows of being hopelessly devoted to sports team. |
Shaun of the Dead | 2004 | 85 | 9 | - It's not just a great zombie-laden comedy. This is one of the smartest, funniest satires to come out since the turn of the century. |
Wedding Crashers | 2005 | 85 | 9 | - The love interest is all too cliche, but the comedy is first rate! |
Bridesmaids | 2011 | 84 | 12 | - In learn 'Bridesmaids', we learn Wiig can act beyond just a caricature in a five-minute sketch and Jon Hamm can be funny. And suddenly, doors to all sorts of multiverses are magically opened! |
Silver Linings Playbook | 2012 | 84 | 12 | - If you go into this thinking it's a sports flick, you'll be disappointed. Rather, it's an essay on finding the right person for us and the struggle to realize it when we meet them. |
Up in the Air | 2009 | 84 | 12 | - The career-versus-love rom-com has been done a thousand times over, but Up in the Air somehow remains a refreshing addition. |
500 Days of Summer | 2009 | 83 | 15 | - It's sort of 'Eternal Sunshine' meets 'Everything Must Go'. |
Mr. Deeds | 2002 | 83 | 15 | - Another staple Adam Sandler movie. Full of slapstick, goofy characters, and less-than-PG humor. This is what Sandler does. |
Shes Out Of My League | 2010 | 83 | 15 | - An underrated comedy. We'll look back at this as the spawn of T.J. Miller's film career. |
The American President | 1995 | 82 | 18 | - Part political drama, party romantic drama, 'The American President' is definitely a fairly original story. |
40 Year Old Virgin, The | 2005 | 81 | 19 | - In a lot of ways, this movie put so many actors on the mainstream map. |
Friends with Benefits | 2011 | 79 | 20 | - As far as chick flicks and rom-coms go, this is one of the better ones. |
High Fidelity | 2000 | 79 | 20 | - The satire and commentary on self-described audiophiles and the underbelly of music culture is smart and on point. The sappy rom-com elements? Not so much. |
Date Night | 2010 | 78 | 22 | - A little tacky and in-your-face with its message, but hey, if it makes you laugh, do we really care? |
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World | 2012 | 78 | 22 | - For better or for worse, I can honestly say there's no movie quite like it. |
It Happened One Night | 1934 | 77 | 24 | - It's sort of the original rom-com. |
Employee of the Month | 2006 | 76 | 25 | - There's no doubt Dane Cook makes the movie tolerable. I wonder how many of his ad-libbed lines were stolen from another comic? |
Juno | 2007 | 76 | 25 | - It's obvious concepts aside, 'Juno' is enjoyable. |
Knocked Up | 2007 | 76 | 25 | - Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl ARE an unlikely couple. And yet, somehow, it works for the most part, here... |
Serendipity | 2001 | 76 | 25 | - The games of chance the movie plays and the way it weaves the fates of the characters together is done well, but could've been done better. |
Drinking Buddies | 2013 | 75 | 29 | - It's honest, it's real, it's refreshing....but it also reminds us that we like a little fantasy in our films. |
Five-Year Engagement, The | 2012 | 75 | 29 | - Successfully sells you on the notion that Michigan is depressing and marriage was better off with 1950's ideals. |
Your Sisters Sister | 2011 | 74 | 31 | - Despite featuring some of the major players, this one does not have the Duplass clan behind the curtains of it and it shows. |
Zack and Miri Make a Porno | 2008 | 74 | 31 | - A promising albeit raunchy comedy ruined by horrifically cliche love angle. Why couldn't Kevin Smith just aim to make us laugh, for crying out loud? |
Don Jon | 2013 | 73 | 33 | - 'Don Jon' is an enigma. A movie with so many smart, interesting, and new concepts that time and time again resorts to painfully overused stereotypes. |
Groundhog Day | 1993 | 72 | 34 | - It's a B-list rom-com, but it's fun to turn on every groundhog day. |
Forgetting Sarah Marshall | 2008 | 71 | 35 | - Jason Segal and Mila Kunis are memorable. Kristen Bell and Russell Brandt are regrettable. |
This Means War | 2012 | 71 | 35 | (full review) - A bit shallow, but still entertaining even for guys. The movie attempts to please all audiences and succeeds marginally. |
10 Things I Hate About You | 1999 | 65 | 37 | - A rather watchable chick flick. |
Mr. Right | 2016 | 61 | 38 | - A disappointing project for Anna Kendrick and Sam Rockwell to have their names forever tied to. |
50 First Dates | 2004 | 60 | 39 | - It's not the worst Adam Sandler movie of all time, but it's far from the being the best, too. |
The Heartbreak Kid | 2007 | 60 | 39 | - We should've known a movie with a cast accented (pun intended) by Carlos Mencia and Danny McBride was going to be a bit gimmicky, but a preposterous ending is the real surprise here. |
Adventureland | 2009 | 53 | 41 | - Slow moving and fairly well done, but not the side-splitting comedy some may hope it is |
Ugly Truth, The | 2009 | 52 | 42 | - We thought this was pretty awful, at first. Then we saw just how horrible Katherine Heigl chick flicks could get. |
Shallow Hal | 2001 | 51 | 43 | - Let's be honest: this film lost the moral high ground the second its premise was created. So really the only thing that matter is whether or not it's funny. And the answer to that is "meh". |
This Is 40 | 2012 | 50 | 44 | - To describe this movie, Pete from Knocked Up said it best: "A tense, unfunny version of Everybody Loves Raymond. Only it doesn't last 22 minutes, it lasts forever." |
Waitress | 2007 | 46 | 45 | - Painfully simplistic and horribly acted. |
