Top 10 Most Popular Comedy Movies During A Decade

Comedy is in the eye of the beholder. Trying to put together a definitive ranking of the decade in film comedy is kind of like trying to drain a lake with a thimble or any of those other impossible tasks they used to use to test suspected witches back in the day. That said, we here at FSR like to think we’re a well-watched bunch with a wide range of tastes, so we decided to take our best stab at the impossible anyway.

That’s not to say the 2010s were a bad decade for comedy, and the lack of consistently great traditional comedies gave way to more artful, interesting comedies from “serious” filmmakers. People like Wes Anderson, Noah Baumbach, and Greta Gerwig not only made some of the funniest movies of the 2010s, they were also some of the best. And then you had filmmakers like Taika Waititi and Phil Lord and Chris Miller who were able to work within the confines of massive studio blockbusters and still deliver hilarious, whip-smart comedies.

Whatever the style, or budget, we took every comedy movie from the decade and then ranked them by Adjusted Tomatometer, a formula that weighs multiple factors, including a movie’s release year and its number of reviews. Speaking of, each movie needed a minimum of 80 reviews for consideration. And now, it’s time open wide and laughs with joy with the 10 Best Comedy Movies of the 2010s!

1. The Wolf Of Wall Street (2013)

Director Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street is a controversial black comedy film that blurs the line between satire and glamorizing bad behavior. It’s a biographical movie that depicts Jordan Belfort’s experiences building his firm, Stratton Oakmont.

Through his “hard sell” tactics, Jordan would inflate stock prices and train others to do the same, leading to his ridiculously quick success and even faster downfall. The movie is a wild ride from start to finish, with its fast-paced, swear word-filled narrative giving audiences little time to breathe in between one riveting scene after another.

2. The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

The Grand Budapest Hotel is a fan-favorite comedy-drama by a renowned auteur, Wes Anderson. It features an ensemble cast, led by the likable Monsieur Gustave H., who serves as the concierge for the now-iconic European hotel featured in the film.

The movie tells a comical tale involving a wrongful accusation of murder, a valuable Renaissance painting, and a likable and reliable protégé. It’s an ideal entry point into Anderson’s films, as it has all the signature elements that have made him so popular among fans and critics alike.

3. Heart Attack (2015)

Director Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit’s Heart Attack is a criminally underrated rom-com that revolves around the budding romance between Yoon, a freelancer who works too hard, and Imm, a doctor who teaches him how to take better care of himself. Yoon has to make a difficult choice between prioritizing his career or his health, which is now inextricably linked with his potential relationship.

The funny quips between the two will make most audiences giggle, but it’s not just the back-and-forth flirtation that makes the film funny. There are also hilarious but thought-provoking moments that underscore how difficult life is for Yoon, who, at one point, asks to connect to the Wi-Fi network in a temple to meet a deadline.

4. La La Land (2016)

Whether it’s La La Land’s emotional quotes or heartwarming narrative, there’s more than one reason to rewatch director Damien Chazelle’s hit romantic musical. La La Land is centered on Mia Dolan and Sebastian Wilder’s love story, as the two figure out how to maintain their relationship while pursuing their individual dreams.

While not often thought of as a comedy, it makes sense that it’s categorized as such on Letterboxd. There are some genuinely humorous moments between the two when they have scenes featuring their banter, not to mention the gags sometimes incorporated into their musical numbers.

5. Lady Bird (2017)

"Lady Bird" is hilarious. Although it's less broad than some other of the other movies on this list, Greta Gerwig's solo directorial debut is a remarkable achievement. The verisimilitude of the early-'00s Sacramento setting and its teenage protagonist, the self-named Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson (a sensational Saoirse Ronan), is singularly realized. The low-key comedy comes straight from the character, and never feels anything less than real. That authenticity is key, because not only is "Lady Bird" deeply-felt, it also earned five Academy Award nominations, including one for Best Picture.

With its nebulous narrative — though there are ongoing threads, "Lady Bird" is chiefly a slice-of-life film — and fantastic set of characters, including an Oscar-nominated turn from Laurie Metcalf as Lady Bird's mother, "Lady Bird" is unlike any coming-of-age story you've seen before. It's so true, so fully realized, and so confident in its form and structure that feels like a gift. "Lady Bird" also marked Grewig as a talent to be reckoned with; in 2018, Time Magazine listed her as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

6. Game Night (2018)

"Game Night" had no reason to be as funny and thrilling as it was. An ensemble comedy with a high-concept hook — a group of friends, led by Rachel McAdams and Jason Bateman, discover that their murder mystery game might be a real crime — its marketing materials made it look like it was destined for bargain bins and cheap VOD rentals.

Luckily, "Game Night" is much better than you expect. Rachel McAdams is the MVP of the entire enterprise, tapping into a more mature, yet no less hilarious, comedic persona than her role in "Mean Girls." She's cute, biting, hilarious, and absolutely stellar when it comes to physical comedy. Bateman, Lamorne Morris, Kyle Chandler, Billy Magnussen, Sharon Horgan, and Kylie Bunbury round out the cast, and they're all at the top of their game. Every character feels distinct, a difficult feat for an ensemble comedy.

Finally, like "Knives Out," "Game Night" has a genuinely compelling mystery in addition to all the laughs. For comedy fans looking for something a little more dangerous, "Game Night" is among the best.

7. Parasite (2019)

No one’s laughing at the end of Parasite, but the gut-punch of a finale is preceded by some bona fide comedic delights. After the Kims take up residence in their employer’s home expecting the Parks to be gone camping all weekend, inclement weather sends their employers returning early and the Kims racing against the clock. The Kims’ scramble to hide any signs of their presence as the Parks naively settle back in is nail-biting physical comedy at its finest, and more reminiscent of the genius of Charlie Chaplin than anything else we’ve seen in a long while.

It’s one of those movies that – for audiences who still haven’t seen it – is best viewed for the first time knowing as little as possible about the plot. It gained international acclaim because of its unapologetic and often jarring portrayal of themes like social inequality and class conflict.

8. Soul (2020)

Director Pete Docter’s Soul seems like it may have been made with adults in mind more than kids, thanks to the film’s profound concepts clearly inspired by philosophical concepts like determinism and the search for the meaning of life. It communicates these lessons through its protagonist, Joe Gardner, and his dissatisfaction with life as a middle school teacher when he wants to be a jazz musician.

After Joe’s soul and body are abruptly separated, he must travel through the Great Before to somehow get back to earth. He meets young souls like 22, to whom he must explain what’s so great about life in the first place, often in humorous ways. The things Joe ends up learning about his own existence will resonate with most viewers who may be feeling a little lost as well.

9. Don’t Look Up (2021)

Don't Look Up, is a satirical blockbuster with content for audiences over 18 years old, bringing together cult stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Timothée Chalamet, Cate Blanchett... Written and directed by Adam McKay (who won the Oscar for "Best Original Screenplay" for The Big Short).

The film revolves around two astronomers Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence) working at the Subaru observatory, by chance, they discover an unnamed giant comet that is about to crash down to Earth at high speed. enough to destroy the entire planet in the next six months. They and NASA experts come to meet US President Janie Orlean (Meryl Streep) to warn of apocalyptic catastrophe. However, she and her son (Jonah Hill) ignore them because they are busy with the upcoming midterm elections.

10. Turning Red (2022)

Pixar’s most recent addition to its impressive list of animated films, Turning Red, has so far been a massive success. Director Domee Shi has gotten off to a good start through her directorial debut, which is centered on the 13-year-old Mei Lee, whose already challenging life as a teenager becomes even harder when her hereditary curse takes effect.

Mei turns into a giant red panda whenever she’s embarrassed, and it leads to some stressful situations. The wacky film may be full of comedic moments, but it also tackles themes like acceptance and mental health, as well as the complex subject of cultural difference.
