What happened to the other comedy thread? "Light comedy...no Dr Strangelove or Brazil"?
With the world going to pot, now seems like a good time to savor the lighthearted side of film with comdedies. What makes you laugh out loud or tickles your funny bone?
The most recent movie I saw in theaters that was laugh aloud hilarious was Death At A Funeral.
