Cold Pursuit

I saw it in theatres and I remember people weren’t laughing and some were walking out because they were bored. I can guarantee that all of them saw Liam Neeson was the lead and were expecting another action packed Taken type movie. What we got instead was a movie reminiscent of Fargo or The Big Lebowski. It’s absolutely hilarious, I’ve watched it many times and I’ve shown friends this one and they’ve all loved it. Highly recommend!

The Castle and Kenny, are both excellent aussie comedies. They're kinda like feature length dad jokes.

High Strung, not sure its an actual comedy but I thought it was pretty funny. has early Jim Carrey

Fandango. 1985 with Kevin Costner and Judd Nelson. It was Costner and Kevin Reynolds' first project together. It's not a straight up comedy but it's a very funny movie IMHO.

Five Year Engagement. Mediocre reviews, but a really grounded and funny story.

The Do-Over. Yes I can’t stand Adam Sandler either but it’s such a fun movie.
