This year, the movie industry produced well over 275 films. In this group of over 300 films, I think at least seventy, maybe more, would be classified as comedies. Here is a list of the better comedies out there for you.

Of course, when he checks into the resort hotel, the first thing he sees is Sarah and her new man, who’s bigger than life. This sets up as a fun filled romantic comedy.

Casting John Reilly and Will Ferrell as the key players, and the conditions are right for a funny movie. This comedy looks like a sure thing for comedy lovers.
