Count me in with the Death to Smoochy crowd. I'd also like to add Simon Pegg's "Run Fatboy Run", it's not the best comedy in the world and it pales in comparison to his other films, but it is actually pretty well made and Hank Azaria lends a hand in making it great.

A MILLION TIMES YES!!!! i finally dont feel like im the only one whos heard of it....*actually me and Svengoolie had a mini convo about it and he likes it too* i always felt it would have been great if they made two more of these with the same cast as i thought they all worked very very well together. plus turtorro's groucho type character was fantastic. sadly a very very forgotten film that bombed but made a profit, as i remember reading someplace they only spent like 7 mil to make it and the movie made 11 mil. sadly only format i have this is in is on VHS as the circus video that used to be by my house was closing so i bought both copies of it. very great and very funny movie. i also nominate One Crazy Summer.....alot of people go "bobcat golthwait was in the movie so i hate it" but it is a really good movie, alot of great gags, and funny dialog.

Funny People was way better then I have heard Yes, I loved it. It may have actually helped that it was underrated when I was watching it (I heard a lot of bad things before it came out and thought it was terrible) Although, I think the reviewers I read were right. It didn't have as many laughs as something like 40 Year Old Virgin or Knocked Up ...... It just built up to be a great film. I barely think I laughed at all. The humor of the stand up skits were terrible but overall it was a good drama.

I'll add a cautious one. My Fellow Americans. Great James Garner/Jack Lemmon flick, where-in two former Presidents each from a different party must band together after someone is out to frame/kill them. It's a great, fun, funny movie. I've never once heard anyone mention it besides my friend who originally showed it to me. Here's the synopsis from a site. "Jack Lemmon plays ex-President Russell P. Kramer, a staunch Republican who's wallet is tighter than his who-ha hole. James Garner plays ex-President Matt Douglas, a smart-ass Democrat who, in his spare time, writes books and sleeps with his editors. Both of these men are bitter rivals, fighting in airplanes, cars and even former Presidents funerals. To say they don't get along is an understatement. Elsewhere in the White House, a scandal thought long buried has resurfaced. "Olympia," the films version of "Whitewater," is threatening to make waves in the new President's (Aykroyd) lake. A plan is hatched to pin "Olympia" on President Kramer, even though he knows nothing about it. An informant is killed along the way, and Kramer and Douglas are on the run from a burning helicopter, Secret Security officers, tourists and a Gay Pride Parade. As they flee by foot, train, and car the completely expected happens. They encounter funny run-ins with every kind of folk imaginable from small town hicks to homosexuals on parade, spewing out funny one-liners and sight gags along the way. If you thought Grumpy Old Men or The Odd Couple were funny, this won't disappoint" DVD Verdict, as my source

I agree a billion times with Wrongfully accused, and I'd also like to throw out Hot Shots: Part Deux and Robin Hood: Men in Tights as well.

The best part of that movie, IMO, is Anna Faris in the back of the car with that guy. I didn't laugh at all. Sorry, but I respectfully disagree.

I don't think Tommy Boy gets as much love as most 90's comedies got. The film is just pure comedy gold. Chris Farley and David Spade were a great comedy duo, and while Black Sheep sort of tarnished Tommy Boy's legacy, it still holds up as a really damn good comedy film.
