(2004)
A man decides to turn his moribund life around by winning back his ex-girlfriend, reconciling his relationship with his mother, and dealing with an entire community that has returned from the dead to eat the living. (99 mins.)
Director: Edgar Wright
“ This may be my favorite comedy film. First, it's british with british actors, of course. Second, Simon Peg and Nick Frost are one of the best duo actors that appear in a couple other comedy films. This film is actually parody of all horror films with zombies, and I haven't watched any zombie movie before I watched this one and it didn't matter because it was hilarious. I just love how the zombies are introduced and I love the characters of Shaun and Ed. ” - bozinovska_jovana

Director: Mark Osborne, John Stevenson
“ Ok, so almost every animated film is a comedy, but they also give a great message at the end. What's not to love? I chose this one because it really made me laugh, and the panda Paul is such a badass (not really at the beginning) just like the actor who portraits him - Jack Black. Also, watch Kung Fu Panda 2. ” - bozinovska_jovana

Two co-dependent high school seniors are forced to deal with separation anxiety after their plan to stage a booze-soaked party goes awry. (113 mins.)
Director: Greg Mottola
“ I was surprised how supergood this film is. I always call it a guy-comedy, and I think every boy should see it just for the fun of it. Three boys are the main characters and there is so much going on: alcohol, parties, police, girls... Yeah, it has all the right ingredients + funny dialog and hilarious scenes. ” - bozinovska_jovana
5.
Step Brothers
(2008)

I think it's a great comedy to watch when you stay the night. ” - bozinovska_jovana
