Comedy Movies 2011 – Guide

- JULY -

Zookeeper
Starring: Kevin James, Rosario Dawson, Sly Stallone (voice), Adam Sandler (voice)
Director: Frank Coraci
Release Date: 1st July 2011

Zoo animals break their code of silence to help their zookeeper (Kevin James) win back the woman of his dreams. Teaching him their methods of dating and mating will be Sylvester Stallone as a lion, Adam Sandler as a monkey, Jon Favreau as a bear, Cher as a giraffe, and Judd Apatow (?!) as an elephant. From the director behind The Wedding Singer, Click and The Waterboy. Sounds fun, sort of, wish it wasn’t Kevin James in the lead.
[Critics - 14%] [Public - 4.4/10] = {Ranked: 4th Worst}

Horrible Bosses
Starring: Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Jennifer Aniston
Director: Seth Gordon
Release Date: 29th July 2011

comedy-2011-movies-horrible-bosses.jpg
Three friends (Bateman, Sudeikis, Day) conspire to murder their awful bosses (Aniston, Spacey, Colin Farrell) when they realise they are standing in the way of their happiness. To do this they enlist the help of a ‘murder consultant’ in a bar called Motherfu*ker Jones (Jamie Foxx). Hollywood doesn’t tend to do well at ‘let’s bump someone off’ comedy because it’s inherently a dark concept, but the cast is good and the script is reportedly strong. The director made the much-loved documentary King Of Kong.
[Critics - 69%] [Public - 7.1/10] = {Ranked: 8th Best}

Attack The Block
Starring: John Boyega, Alex Esmail, Franz Drameh, Jodie Whittaker, Nick Frost
Director: Joe Cornish
Release Date: 29th July 2011

Crazy, Stupid, Love
Starring: Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Analeigh Tipton
Directors: Glenn Ficarra, John Requa
Release Date: 29nd July 2011

Best New Comedy Movies 2011
A happily married family man (Carell) is shocked when his wife (Moore) asks for a divorce. Now he’s trying to manage the relationship with his kids and finds himself thrust back onto the dating scene, where he finds himself so deeply uncool he has to enlist the help of a stylish life coach (Gosling). The directors of I Love You Phillip Morris (who wrote Bad Santa before that) should bring something subversive and entertaining to the marital crisis material.
[Critics - 78%] [Public - 7.5/10] = {Ranked: 4th Best}


- AUGUST -

The Change-Up
Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Jason Bateman, Olivia Wilde, Leslie Mann, Alan Arkin
Director: David Dobkin
Release Date: 5th August 2011

comedy-2011-movies-the-change-up.jpg
A married guy (Bateman) switches bodies with his best friend (Reynolds) in order to woo his co-worker. It’s not clear yet how he does this. There’s also some connection to baseball as they’ve been filming at a stadium and a ‘changeup’ is a type of pitch in baseball. Director David Dobkin made Wedding Crashers, then came a bit unstuck with Fred Claus. Body swap comedies always seem so… done. You either like Ryan Reynolds, or you don’t.

      It’s a sci-fi comedy horror, set in a British council estate where aliens have landed and a local ‘gang’ of youths have to fend them off. It’s had great reviews.
