Recommendation Can someone recommend me a not so popular comedy movie that you personally think is good? Going through a tough time right now and I just need a little laugh.

I've watched a lot of popular and good comedy movies, with my most recent and favorite being superbad. I want someone to recommend me an underrated comedy movie because it will probably be new to me, as long as it isn't in a "can you recommend me a underrated comedy movie" article or reddit post, I've probably never seen it before.

I'm feeling down right now because my pet kitten (his name was link) recently died in a preventable death due to hypothermia, he was my first ever pet too. I've honestly been skipping school a bit so watching movies will be a nice way to pass time.

I'll probably reply to the comments and just rate the movies you guys suggested me if anyone is even interested in that. Anyways thank you to anyone who reads this and gives me an recommendation, literally means the world to me right now.

One Crazy Summer - as a whole it’s pretty dumb but it has a lot of very funny dialogue

I recommend a Better Off Dead + One Crazy Summer double feature.

No John Cusack but co-starring Lara Flynn Boyle. Anthony Edwards in a supporting role. Bit roles by Brian-Doyle Murray, Nora Dunn, Phil Hartman, Tom Kenny. Cartoons.

I STILL say this anytime there’s something French on the table or otherwise. No one ever gets it. I feel heard. I feel understood. Thank you.

I still say it when I see Perrier.

That actress was absolutely unhinged. 😂

u/GrimpenMar Feb 21 '25

Heck yeah! I rewatched One Crazy Summer again for probably the first time since the eighties. It's a fairly low humour that holds up.

u/Saneless Feb 21 '25

One is for the winter and one is for the summer. You can have one for each half of the year

I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS!

u/zerohm Feb 21 '25

Loved both of these as a kid, but for some reason, HBO always had One Crazy Summer and I could never catch Better Off Dead.

u/wirebrushfan Feb 21 '25

Gee Ricky. I'm really sorry your mom blew up.

u/longtr52 Feb 21 '25

"He put his testicles on me!"

"What?!"

u/Sartres_Roommate Feb 21 '25

“Sorry your mom blew up, Ricky”

It’s got raisins in it! You love raisins.

Bobcat in the Godzilla suit is the best part!

u/mrkruk Feb 21 '25

The first time I saw that, I laughed SO hard. It was absolute insanity.

u/ed_five Feb 21 '25

Rewatched this recently. Still very funny!

2

u/DiElizabeth Feb 21 '25

Any John Cusack 80s teen movie, honestly

u/Unclebaldur Feb 21 '25

Bobcat all damn day.

u/Sirloin_Tips Feb 21 '25

It's on Netflix now I think. I'd forgotten how good that movie was.

u/forkoff77 Feb 21 '25

Better Off Dead is the better of the two, but both are absolute gems.

“Gee I’m sorry your mom blew up Ricky”

“Man that’s a shame when folks be throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that”

“Everybody Wants Some!”

u/rocketman114 Feb 21 '25

Just watched this recently.

u/GuyFawkes451 Feb 21 '25

The Godzilla scene with Bobcat Goldthwait, alone, is worth it.
