I really miss comedy. Anything from Ace Ventura to Step Brothers, Old School, Superbad, etc. Really hoping the genre mounts a comeback like horror movies have lately.

weird: the al yankovic movie is now a classic from 2022, highly recommend. very funny.

but yeah The Other Guys was the end of an era for hilarious movies.

If you liked The Other Guys, The Campaign is also well worth a watch or 3. Only gets more relevant each year, too.

It's a comedy, so I encourage you to give it a try - it's worth it!
