But where are those comedies?

Seriously, I can’t recall any good recent comedy movie. Some good series, but that’s it. All comedies are basically those “for the whole family” kind of background noise generator, and they all seem to be the same plot points and jokes sewn together in slightly different patterns.

Older comedies are often a bit dated, but were good back then, even without belittling. Look at Old School, Anchorman, Stranger than Fiction, everything Leslie Nielsen did, Big Lebowski. These are not super experimental art house movies or super edgy, but solid, innovative comedies.

Maybe I’m overlooking a ton of comedy gems, absolutely possible, but I can honestly say that not a single movie of the last years was really funny to me.
