![]() ![]() If any studio executives decide to make a sequel, we suggest you take Aziz Ansari advice: “MINDYKALING AS A FEMALE HITCH!”- Stephanie SharpĪs strong as the talent is in front of the camera (including the comedic sidekick duo of Hannibal Buress and Matthew Gray Gubler), consider the talent behind it even more. Smith’s comedic chemistry with Kevin James is showcased when Hitch teaches Albert how to move it on the dance floor. While coaching Albert, Hitch also attempts to take his own advice as he charms cynical gossip columnist Sara Melas, who is not too pleased when finding out her beau is actually the man she is attempting to expose. Played by the delightfully suave Will Smith, the “date doctor” is hired by Albert Brennamen in hopes to win the heart of beautiful celebrity Alegra Cole. Alex “Hitch” Hitchens is a professional dating consultant with an expertise in teaching nerdy men how to woo women. However, this standout 2005 romantic comedy did teach us the Q-tip dance, and we can all be thankful for that. Sure, Hitch never garnered any high-profile awards buzz. ![]() In Like Flint’s plot now feels as archaic as the Bond tropes it was sending up-it’s all about evil feminists who want to take down the men who rule the world-but Coburn’s tough guy act works perfectly in this comedic setting, and the super ‘60s atmosphere is a delight.- Garrett Martin It’s a goofy, very ‘60s parody of early Bond movies that pretty clearly inspired Austin Powers (really, those movies feel less like Bond parodies than homages to Flint). The second mid-’60s James Bond sequel to star James Coburn as Derek Flint doesn’t hold up as well as the original, but it’s the only one of the two on Netflix right now. Starring Johnny Depp, in his best perfrmance since that 21 Jump Street movie, as Trump, The Art of the Deal is a cameo-filled 50 minute sprint through Trump’s formative business years, with the joke-a-minute style of Zucker-Abraham-Zucker and the voice of a late night comedy sketch.- Garrett Martin Too short to rank higher on this list, but maybe still too long for what it tries to do, this Funny or Die-produced parody is an absurd, caustic pseudo-adaptation of the 1987 memoir that first brought our most inexplicable of presidents to national prominence. Donald Trump’s The Art of the Deal The Movie (If you want to know why a satire of horror films needed its own satire, well, you’ve already put more thought into this than Friedberg or Seltzer ever have.) Anna Faris is fine despite the lackluster material, and some of the fourth wall breaking meta-jokes from Marlon and Shawn Wayans work.- Garrett Martinģ9. Before writers Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer really kicked off their _ Movie parody reign of terror, three members of the Wayans family took one of their scripts and turned it into a dim but occasionally funny satire of Scream and the teen horror films that were popular in the late ‘90s. The least terrible of the five ( ) Scary Movie movies is the only one we can (tepidly) endorse. There are dozens of great comedies I can wholeheartedly recommend to our loyal readership. Still, that doesn’t leave you completely high and dry. I don’t know if Netflix’s increasing focus on original programming explains why their worthwhile film offerings are slimmer than before, but while scanning through the listings it was a quickly realized fact: the comedy section isn’t what it used to be. This one has 40 because, uh, we were already kinda scraping the bottom of the Netflix barrel just to get to this point. Hence Caddyshack coming in higher than the two Wes Anderson movies on the list. When calibrating the best comedies on this list, the overall cinematic quality of a film is important, but slightly more crucial is how much it makes me laugh. If you haven’t read one of the previous versions of this list before, here’s the standard spiel: I’m the comedy editor here at ol’ Paste Magazine. That means our last list of the best comedies on Netflix, which dates back to last March, is now hopelessly outdated. The churn of movies old and new is constant, as titles fall off and are added to the selection regularly throughout the year. ![]()
