15 Best 2010s Comedy Movies

By Vlad Zakh · April 21, 2025

United States Comedy feel good

Bridesmaids proved a female-led ensemble comedy could be as raunchy and successful as any, and The Hangover kicked off the decade with its own franchise. The Death of Stalin is a political farce that’s hilarious and genuinely dark, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is a sharper mockumentary than its box office suggested, and Deadpool proved R-rated superhero comedy could be huge. Isn’t It Romantic, Crazy Rich Asians, Palm Springs, Game Night, The Nice Guys, What We Do in the Shadows, Booksmart and The Grand Budapest Hotel round out the list.
