Comedy Films.. 

One out of three people will choose comedy over drama, action or horror ... after all laughter induces our bodies to release endorphins..  making us feel good.. 

1. Nobody's Fool 2018 - is a romantic comedy .. and features an outstanding all star cast that includes Tiffany Haddish, Whoopi Goldberg, Tika Sumpter, Mehcad Brooks and Omari Hardwick.. The film follows a recently paroled woman who returns home only to discover that her sister's man is catfishing her .. This movie is tremendously funny.. I was laughing from start to finish.. 

2. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle 2017 - is a fantasy action comedy and a part of the Jumanji franchise.. which was based on a children's book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg.. Robin Williams starred in the original Jumanji film.. However this Jumanji film is set twenty-one years after the original and follows four teenagers who are transported into the video game version of Jumanji to play as their chosen characters..  they all have strengths and weaknesses and they have to work together in order to overcome the game's magical power and beat the game so they can return home.. 
The cast includes Dewayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan.. The film has a lot of twists and turns .. but is a barrel of laughs..  I loved it.. A definite must see for the whole family..

3. Girls Trip 2017 - is a hilarious comedy with an outstanding cast that includes Queen Latifah, Regina Hall, Tiffany Haddish, and Jada Pinkett Smith.. The movie follows a group of four best friends (the Flossy Posse) who look to reconnect when they travel to New Orleans to attend the Essence Music Festival.. The movie is hysterically funny from start to finish.. with many jaw dropping scenes.. This is definitely a movie to watch with your girlfriends... 

4. Crazy Rich Asians 2018 - is a comedy drama based on a novel by the same name by Kevin Kwan.. The movie follows a Chinese American professor who travels to meet her boyfriend's family and is totally surprised to learn that they are among the wealthiest families in Singapore..  and that her boyfriend is one of Singapore's most eligible bachelors.. This film is ridiculously funny and will make you smile .. I loved it.. 

5. The Upside 2019 - is a comedy drama that follows a recently paroled convict (Kevin Hart) who desperately needs a job and is hired by a paralyzed billionaire (Bryan Cranston) who has seemingly lost his will to live.. The film focuses on the friendship between the pair, and insight into both of their lives.. it features fast cars, medicinal marijuana, parasailing and urinary catheters.. This movie normalizes disabilities.. demonstrates how impactful true friendship can be.. and is truly a sentimental heartwarming movie.. I really enjoyed every minute of this film..

The Upside was originally released in 2017 at the Toronto International Film Festival.. and is a remake of a French film titled The Intouchables which was inspired by the life of Philippe Pozzo di Borgo.. and his French Algerian caregiver Abdel Sellou..
