No one doubts Hollywood's ability to make great comedies. They are completely different: kind, sarcastic, family, tearful, smart, stupid, but all very funny. IN 2017 Best American Comedy List The films with the highest rating on the KinoPoisk website were included.
10. Very bad girls
Rating "KinoPoisk": 5,4
Genre: Comedy
The rating of the best American comedies opens a film on the topics: "Is there friendship after uni?" and "What are you ready to do for your girlfriend?" A bachelorette party with alcohol, drugs and a beautiful muscular stripper did not go as planned. And instead of the inevitable hangover, the friends have to solve a more serious problem: how to hide the death of a hired dancer and not get caught by the police? Pretty funny black comedy with excellent cast.
9. Sandy Wexler
Rating: 5.5
Genre: Comedy
This funny and at the same time life picture is based on events from the life of Sandy Wernick, manager of the famous actor Adam Sandler. Of course, Adam Sandler played the main role in it. And his daughters starred in secondary roles.
Sandy Wexler - the one who for a modest fee helps novice artists to become famous artists. Although colleagues consider him a failure, he himself loves his job and puts his whole soul into it. But feelings come into conflict with duty when Sandy falls in love with her own client, a talented singer.
However, the film has many references to the American music scene of the mid-90s, which may be obscure to the Russian audience.
8. Wilson
Rating: 5.7
Genre: Comedy
This film is about how a person (say delicately) with features of psychological development is trying to find his happiness among other people. It turned out to be somewhat difficult, somewhat ridiculous, and somewhat ridiculous. The story unfolds slowly, but the beautiful and authentic play of Woody Harrelson, the leading actor, makes you forget about it. The main thing is to sit for the first 10-15 minutes.
7. Rescuers Malibu
Rating: 5.7
Genre: Comedy, Action
The paradise, where a group of beach lifeguards, known to the audience on the series of the same name, works, is in danger of extinction. The ominous oil company in pursuit of a long dollar is about to turn the beach into a desert.
What to expect: muscular beauties and beauties with mouth-watering forms against the backdrop of amazing landscapes; jokes below the waist; quite funny black humor; Carefree beach atmosphere and eternal summer.
What to expect: a twisted script and deeply worked characters. “Rescue Malibu” is an easy-going and comedy with a good acting and predictable plot moves.
6. California Road Patrol
Rating: 5.8
Genre: Crime, Comedy, Action
A gang on motorbikes rob collector cars. An FBI agent, an experienced fighter who first sat in a motorcycle saddle, was seconded to protect law and order. As partners, he naturally got a completely different person by character - a former motorcycle racing star who was forced to leave the world of big sports due to injuries. The film has a lot of iron horses, beautiful girls, beautiful views of California and Los Angeles and the biker subculture in its American version. Such a movie is perfect for watching beer with friends.
5. The machine of war
Rating: 5.9
Genre: Comedy, Military, Drama
In fifth place in the list of the best foreign comedies of 2017 is a non-standard film. This is a satire, sometimes even caustic and tough, on the actions of the US military machine in Afghanistan. An idealist who is really trying to do business - on the political scene, it always looks ridiculous. Without pompous speeches and beautiful shots, the “War Machine” shows how the destinies of individuals and entire countries are decided simply and routinely.
The tape is based on real events - the Afghan period in the biography of General Stanley McChrystal, his brilliant take-off and even faster resignation.
4. Paris will wait
Rating: 6.1
Genre: Comedy, Romance
The unhappy married wife of a successful film producer embarks on a journey through France in the company of a Frenchman who has long adored her. “Aha!” - The sophisticated viewer says and ... turns out to be wrong. The film was shot about the love of the motherland - in this case, the love of France, its gastronomy, fantastic beauty of landscapes, historical monuments and, of course, the accompanying color in the face of stereotypically cheerful and romantically inclined Frenchmen with indispensable baguettes under the arm. A cute light film, a little funny, a little touching and very beautiful.
3. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
Rating: 6, 6
Genre: Comedy, Adventure, Fantasy
One of the best films of 2017, the fifth in a series of adventures in the Caribbean - a kind of restart of the franchise. The places of Kira Knightley and Orlando Bloom (the young were no longer young) were taken by two young actors, and only the pirates, the living dead, racing along the azure sea surface of the brig and, of course, Johnny Depp in the role of Jack Sparrow will stay forever.
The creators of "Pirates" took into account the opinion of viewers who were dissatisfied with the fact that in the previous part there weren’t enough epic sea battles, so there will be sea battles in this film, and excellent. And this, perhaps, is the last story about Jack Sparrow with Johnny Depp, as the actor’s popularity has declined greatly as a result of the divorce scandal, lawsuits over debts and tax evasion. And the box office of the new part was not as high as the producers expected.
2. The bodyguard of the killer
Rating: 7
Genre: Comedy, Action
What if your purpose and way of making money is to protect people, but you have to protect someone whose profession is to take lives from these people? A world-class bodyguard is forced to save from the death of the killer, who was his sworn enemy all these years. Of course, he would have gladly killed the killer himself, but his colleagues would not understand, and the international situation would be too complicated ...
A ridiculous and witty parody of many action movies at once, from police movies to action-packed espionage thrillers.
Bonus: in fact, the role of the main villain is not played by the head of the slurred Balkan state, as the Russian box office shamefully decorated, but the president of Belarus.
1. Dog life
Rating: 7.7
Genre: Family Comedy, Fantasy, Adventure
The first place in the list of the best of the best foreign comedy films is occupied by a picture where the main character is a dog. Even if the dog is just an assistant to the protagonist, the film is still guaranteed excellent box office. And if the director of the film becomes Lasse Halström - the author of “Hachiko”, while watching it even truckers hardened by life sob — the fees can be tripled.
But seriously, “Dog Life” is a very sweet, emotional film, a kind of quintessence of good comedies from the 90s of the last century. Great for viewing with children; True, parents need to get ready, because then the children will probably be asked to buy a four-legged friend!
The list of the best foreign comedies includes almost all varieties of the genre - from military comedy with elements of drama and black comedy-action movie, where blood spills as easily as tomato juice, to pirate fantasy and a sweet family movie that children will appreciate with pleasure. Decide which ones to watch - yourself, but in any case you will enjoy it.
