22 Jump Street and Wayne's World 2 are on the very short list of comedy sequels that work. A Shot in the Dark technically might be the best of all time but that's sort of an asterisk.
while we're talking comedies, has their since been a better year for em after 2008? pineapple express, step brothers, forgetting sarah marshall, role models, harold and kumar 2, tropic thunder, probably some others
I wasn’t really counting auteurs/was trying to think of mainstream studio comedies but Everybody Wants Some is excellent
Related but I think being funny is an underrated skill, and good comedy is just as much acting, sometimes more so, than dramatic acting
Dolemite Is My Name was last year and it ruled. It’s too bad it didn’t/couldn’t get a wide theatrical release.
damn, that's honestly my favorite of the three. far as i recall, everything but the scene with the inbred child still works for me (it's been a bit of a while, mind you)
The framing of George W. as a cool guy that just wants to smoke weed and the usual gay panic/prison rape stuff is like peak 00s humor.
yeah, touche. there's gotta be some stuff i and others would dislike immediately if i first-timed it today
