The actors play an exaggerated version of themselves, and it is hilarious to watch the SNL alums mess around with each other. Grab a glass of wine and enjoy this movie.
The Other Guys
Cast: Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Eva Mendes, and Michael Keaton
You’ll be in for several laughs with this movie, which is directed by Adam McKay, the mastermind behind Step Brothers and Anchorman. This movie is set like an action movie but follows the “other guys”, one who is a mild-mannered forensic accountant and the other is a hot-tempered detective who is known for shooting Derek Jeter. There are countless gags throughout the movie, and you’ll be left laughing.
Lady Bird
Cast: Saoirse Ronan, Laurie Metcalf, Tracy Letts, and Beanie Feldstein
Lady Bird is a coming of age story that is hilarious and will make you want to watch it countless times. A young girl, Christine, is struggling through her senior year at Catholic high school, and you watch as she tries to navigate through her issues with the help of her mother. The story can get emotional, but it has more funny bits than anything. You’ll love the cast and the story for this entire film.
Baby Mama
Cast: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Greg Kinnear, and Dax Shepard
Comedy geniuses Tina Fey and Amy Poehler team up in this film which shows a single woman who decides to have a baby via surrogate. Poehler plays the surrogate who is irresponsible and obnoxious. Although Poehler’s character isn’t pregnant, she keeps the act up to stay close to Fey’s character.
Dinner for Schmucks
Cast: Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, and Zach Galigianakis
Be prepared to laugh with this film that stars three comedy masterminds. The film follows a dinner party where friends must bring the saddest loser they can find with them. Unfortunately for them, the “schmucks” make the guest look like losers instead. The movie is funny and a little heart wrenching with lessons to be learned.
Between Two Ferns: The Movie
Cast: Zach Galifianakis, Lauren Lupkus, and Ryan Gaul
If you love Galifianakis’ Between Two Ferns, then the movie is for you. Galifianakis hits the road to find famous people to interview for his no-budget talk show. The interviews are hilarious, and a little awkward and all of his guests do a fantastic job at playing along with the skits.
RV
Cast: Robin Williams, Cheryl Hines, and Joanna Levesque
Anything with Robin Williams will be funny, and RV is no different. The movies follow a family that gets a massive RV for a cross-country trip to see the Rockies. Little did the Munro family know that they were about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. The movie is funny, light, and really brings the entire family together.

Netflix’s massive library of films can be a little daunting to browse through, but these comedies will leave you laughing and probably turning them back on for a second watch. The cast of these movies are all amazing, and you know you can always go back to them when you need a little pick me up during rough times.
