Top 8 Comedy Movies of 2025

“The movie’s continuous escalation of malfeasance gives 'Adulthood' its wicked tempo and disquieting thrills.”

“The Ballad of Wallis Island maintains a carefully calibrated balance of sweetness and melancholy that never veers into cheap sentimentality and finds something new in the familiar.”

“The Baltimorons is a little zany, a little wild — sometimes shaped like a screwball comedy with similarly uproariously funny energy — and sweet and tender in all the right spots too.”

“Friendship is one of those singular movies that epitomizes a comedian’s appeal and goes beyond a portrait of post-pandemic desocialization or the toxicity of some male bonding to create a wildly funny and twisted movie.”

“The Naked Gun is a studio movie that exists for no other purpose than to make people laugh and references everything from Elon Musk to racially motivated police violence without letting its virtues get in the way of its laughs.”

“A Nice Indian Boy takes what easily could have been a by-the-numbers romance and makes it into a story of true tenderness.”

“One of Them Days finds its best humor on the character level, in clever dialogue and sharp line deliveries from the entire ensemble.”

“Splitsville delivers material more akin to screwball with an inimitable extra backspin and succeeds as a rumination on what we want and expect out of our romantic relationships and ourselves and may be the first genuinely funny movie about an open marriage.”
