Of the ones you've seen that came out in 2015.
I know I've seen more, but I'm drawing a huge blank, so of the ones I've seen so far that I remember (from best to worst)...
Trainwreck
Ted 2
Get Hard
Entourage
Vacation
Magic Mike XXL
Mistress America (probably too drunk when I saw it to accurately judge it)
Also, I thought Me, Earl and the Dying Girl was good, but tough to rank next to those other comedies.

Pitch Perfect 2 was pretty damn good I haven't seen either of the Pitch Perfect movies, but they do seem to be quite popular. |

Pitch Perfect 2 was pretty damn good It wasn't bad, but it was copy and paste from the first movie for the most part. Saying that though, it was the only comedy I enjoyed that I saw in 2015. Even if I found it repetitive. |

Don't forget Hot Tub Time Machine 2, Hotel Transylvania 2, Pixels and Hot Pursuit! Hot Tub 2 is no. 1 for me! I love that movie. |

I haven't seen a lot of hard comedies this year, but I'll give some comments on some films that have been called comedies.
-I thought Spy was good. It's probably my favorite Melissa McCarthy hard-comedy film. I enjoyed her performance in last year's St. Vincent, but this was more of a dramatic performance.
-The Big Short is not a straight comedy, but it definitely had comedic elements. It's one of the best films of the year.
-Inside Out is not a strict comedy film, but it had its comedic moments. It's a standout of 2015.
-I thought the praise for Trainwreck was overblown. I think people were caught-up in the hype around Amy Schumer. Yes, she is smart and funny, but this film really is not as good as some have made it out to be.
-Kingsman: The Secret Service had comedic elements. It was really enjoyable.
-The Golden Globes say that The Martian is a comedy. I think that's laughable. It was entertaining, but it's the science fiction version of Apollo 13, and I can't really call it a comedy.
-Joy was not really much of a comedy, but it was considered a comedy for the Golden Globes. It is the weakest of David O. Russell's latest films. It was a decent movie, but far below some of his recent films.
-Pitch Perfect 2 was not as good as the first movie, but it was okay.
-Since I've seen it, I'll say that Entourage was basically a feature film version of the HBO show. It could just have well been an HBO special, rather than a full-blown theatrical movie. It was fine as fan service, but not a great movie.
-The Duff was a decent high school comedy, though it's similar to so many other high school movies.
-The Peanuts Movie was pretty good, but it's mostly covering familiar ground, rather than giving us new stories and experiences.

(Inside Out) Tangerine Dope What We Do in the Shadows Spy Sleeping with Other People Magic Mike XXL Turbo Kid Kingsman The Night Before Sisters (Shaun the Sheep) Trainwreck (The Peanuts Movie) Pitch Perfect 2 Spongebob 2 The Overnight Buzzard The DUFF Me And Earl And The Dying Girl While We're Young Joy The D Train Cooties Ted 2 All the comedies that technically count as 2015 movies that I saw. Never bothered with Get Hard, Vacation, Hot Tube Time Machine 2, Entourage, or Pixels because they all looked like shit/I never heard a good thing about them. I think Hot Tub 2 is really interesting for how it builds a whole movie over trying to make a central character as loathesome as possible. Certainly more merit to that exercise than a lot of other movies I saw in 2015, comedy or otherwise. Not to mention the charisma of Craig Robinson! |

I love Craig, but losing Cusack and Lizzy Caplan to an already meh movie seems kinda crappy. Does this mean Corrdry is the main in it? |

I love Craig, but losing Cusack and Lizzy Caplan to an already meh movie seems kinda crappy. Does this mean Corrdry is the main in it? Yes, and the movie takes his character and they keep trying think of more terrible awful things for him to do. In the first movie he was sort of an asshole who at the end was redeemed into being a good person. In this movie he's the devil. I guess I found this movie refreshing among stuff like The Gallows or Entourage that had douchebag leads either unintentionally or incidentally. Even if a lot of jokes don't hit there are a lot of them that do. The stuff about Cusack and Caplan, this is in no way a reiteration of that first movie, that was actually trying to be a normal movie. If that movie was Gremlins this was Gremlins 2 (not that either of the Hot Tub movies are on the level of the Gremlins movies). I just think there's a whole lot of weird fun stuff (like the put upon engineer trying to actually work for Lougle, "I was on track to be "20 under 40," but now I'm "zero under f*** me"!) in this movie to just dismiss it out of hand. Is it a great movie? No, not really. But it's not like the generic autopilot trash it's made out to be. |

I'll clear my current backlog of 2015 shit and then throw HTTM2 in there. |

Trainwreck had its moments, but I didn't love it.
I thought John Cena was great and LeBron was really good, too.
What We Do in the Shadows was really funny.
I know it's not a comedy comedy per se, but The Big Short was terrific. Steve Carell and Christian Bale are excellent.

I think I only seen two truly good pure comedy films this year. Spy and Hot Tub Time Machine 2. Try to watch the unrated version for apparently it had the better ending.
Also I love the future and it's messed up form of entertainment
