From an creative standpoint (acting, scripting, direction) all film is serious because it's a business conducted within the framework of a collaborative process. From the production side of the equation you're always trying to reach a broader audience while working under the constraints of time and budget.

In that context, there is no difference between serious film & entertainment. It's all about expectations. Most dramatic and comedic film is produced with to entertain, regardless of whether the creator's goals are cerebral (thought provoking) or tapping into something more instinctive.
