More Comedy .. I love a good laugh .. but I will admit I am picky ..

1.  Book Club 2018 - is a romantic comedy film starring Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen.. The film is about a group of four life long friends who as a part of their monthly book club decide to read Fifty Shades of Grey.. along with their subsequent life altering antics .. including online dating, Viagra and dance class.. I truly enjoyed the film .. however I think the film's success rested on its big name talent.. If they hadn't been able to put these four powerhouse ladies together I don't think it would have done as good as it did.. I highly recommend this film to any women a little on up in years..

2.  Downsizing 2017 - is a sci-fi fictional comedy drama with an outstanding cast.. including Matt Damon and Kristen Wiig.. The films follows the story of Paul and Audrey Safranek who decide to undertake a new procedure in which shrinks your body so they can start a whole new life in an experimental community ..The premise is you can shrink your life and therefore stretch your funds.. giving you the ability to live the good life on the other side of the process.. When Audrey chickens out at the last minute.. Paul is left somewhat broken and has to reassess his life and choices.. The film was definitely interesting and funny..  Although the film received mixed reviews .. I still would recommend it for a good laugh..

3. Dumplin 2018 - is a coming of age comedy based on a young adult book by the same name by Julie Murphy.. In the film Willowdean "Dumplin" Dickson (Danielle MacDonald) lives with her mother Rosie Dickson (Jennifer Aniston)... Dumplin's Aunt Lucy has recently passed .. Her aunt is also the one that  instilled a love of Dolly Parton and self confidence in Willowdean..Rosie on the other hand was the one who gave Willowdean her nickname of Dumplin..  and Rosie is a past beauty queen and kind of a celebrity in their small town .. The movie is really charming and funny however it also has some truly touching moments.. I loved the film.. and I highly recommend watching it.. a movie truly for the whole family..

4. I Feel Pretty 2018 - is a feel good romantic comedy that features an exceptional cast.. The film follows an insecure woman Renee Bennett (Amy Schumer) who after suffering a head injury during a SoulCycle class, gains over the top self confidence.. and when I say over the top .. I mean it.. she is hysterical..and thinks she is a really desirable beauty.. this movie is outlandishly funny.. Amy Schumer has always been an unrestrained comic when it comes to humor and this movie is a prime example .. I laughed from start to finish.. loved it..  a definite must see film..

5. Sex Tape 2014 - is a comedy film with an outstanding cast that includes Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel and Rob Lowe as well as many others.. The film is based on Jay and Annie Hargrove a young married couple who in an attempt to spice up their sex life making a very unique sex tape in which shows them having sex in every position.. However when done Annie asks Jay to delete the recording but he ends up inadvertently syncing the video to several iPads that the couple had previously given away.. OPS.. This film is hysterical.. and actually shows how an innocent lack of judgment can lead to chaos.. I highly recommend this film .. I laughed so hard.. and you will too..
