Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Quentin Tarantino has always been known for his unique blend of violence and comedy, and his 2019 offering of ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ is no exception. Set in the late ’60s, this film follows fading star Rick Dalton, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, with Brad Pitt portraying Cliff Booth, his stunt double and best friend, expertly. ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ is worth seeing if you enjoy thought-provoking movies and excellent acting.
‘Between Two Ferns: The Movie
If you tend towards the more weird and off-center comedies, then ‘Between Two Ferns: The Movie’ should be your pick. This Netflix feature is an adaptation of celebrity interviewer Zach Galifianakis’ online series of the same name and sees him go on a road trip with a Hollywood crew as he attempts to crack some of the biggest names in showbiz. ‘Between Two Ferns…’ effectively captures the absurd yet hilarious interviewees that made the original series successful and turns its absurd nature to eleven.
‘Knives Out
Dir. Rian Johnson’s ‘Knives Out’ is a novel spin on the classic whodunit mystery formula, providing a much-needed comedic edge to the age-old formula. The film follows Detective Benoit Blanc’s investigative antics as he tries to learn the truth about the unexplained death of the head of a wealthy family. It stars a star-studded ensemble cast, including Chris Evans, Daniel Craig, and Jamie Lee Curtis. ‘Knives Out ‘has some great gags and spectacular performances.
‘Crawl’
If you’re in the mood for a horror comedy, look no further than Alexandre Aja’s ‘Crawl.’ The film stars Kaya Scodelario and Barry Pepper as a daughter-father duo who have to survive against nature as a category five hurricane wreaks havoc on their house and hordes of alligators seeking to end their mission. ‘Crawl’ is a thriller regarding the fear factor, but it’s witty scripting and quirky characters provide enough comic relief throughout the tension-filled runtime to make it worthwhile.
‘Shazam!’
The last offering on our list is far from the least; ‘Shazam!’ is a pitch-perfect comic book movie with a healthy dose of humor. Directed by David F. Sandberg, ‘Shazam!’ follows the story of young Billy Batson, a troubled teen with the powers of an adult superhero. Billy’s transition from streetwise kid to superhero offers enough laughs for the entire family, with Asher Angel and Zachary Levi delivering solid performances.
And that concludes our list of the most hilarious movies of 2019. Whether you’re in the mood for an absurd comedy, a mystery-thriller with a humorous spin, or a straightforward comedy, this list should provide you with enough laughs to last until the year’s end. Have fun watching!
