I personally think the comedy genre is dying out. I hope I'm wrong but last 5-10 years the amount of good comedies has diminished tremendously because of what you mentioned above. It's sad because comedy is my favorite genre.

Agree - most comedies don't even make me smile, that one made me laugh out loud several times.
Oh man, superbad, 1st hangover, tommy boy, billy madison those are generational that stick around decades and will always be funny to me. Not everyone feels the same about Step Brothers, 40 year old virgin, office space.
Yep, because laughing is good for our soul and prolongs our life. There hasn't been too many movies that have literally put me in tears and made my abs hurt, especially even more so the last 5-10 like they used to. Sucks, like you comedy is my favorite genre too. Then probably action.
Give me Office Space any day of the week over The Hangover.
I just had a hard time finding 4 guys yelling for 2 hours enjoyable.
It was likely due to my age range (late college) at the time it came out and being at the movies with friends. I didn't expect Alan to be THAT funny, he made the movie IMO. I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple as well.
His audio comedy albums were his best stuff. At a Medium Pace, Tollbooth Willie, Crazy Uncle Donnie, The Longest Pee, I cry laughing to that stuff to this day.
Hopefully somebody - anybody - will kick the **** outta Drew Carey.
i wanted to be excited for this but this trailer just hits like anything else that Sandler has put out recently. And I love Sandler, but the comedies he's put out these days just don't even compare to the other things.
is this thing going to be rated R or PG13?

Always love me some Billy Madison! Bus driver Farley scenes were classic!
I have a bad feeling this movie won't be nearly as good as the 1st one. I'll probably still watch it but I don't have high expectations for it.
This is going to be good and nostalgic. Sandler is so good. Lots of sophomore humor but u have to roll with it. Sandler has a way to make me feel good and root for him.
I like that so many current golfers are apart of this.

The movies he makes nowadays are nowhere near as good as the ones he made in the 90s, but some of them are decent. Some are complete duds though.
I feel like he knows they're not as good but just likes getting friends together and making movies no matter the quality and there's plenty of money made.
Imo Waterboy was the last one that really had the timing and darkish comedy similar to Billy Madison and even then it was starting to wane.
