What Makes Some Of The Best Comedies So Good

By Petra Berg


People's opinions on movies, do differ. Few people can even agree on what they consider to be the best comedies. What most people can agree on though is what makes the films they enjoy good. These can vary from cast to plot but these seem insignificant in the face of a few important traits. These traits can make the difference between a good comedy and an amazing comedy.

Many people probably have a favorite spoof movies. Vampire's Suck is a newer movie released in this genre. Though the movie was funny, it was far from the greatest movies made. One reason for this is that in four years few will remember this movies as, hopefully, the current vampire fad will have passed by then.

An important aspect of any movie is how realistic it is. This is doubly true for comedic titles because if the audience can't get past the character's unbelievability, they will never be able to sit back and enjoy the movie. Buddy movies are the epitome of this, where the films are mostly driven by the friendship of two individuals.

It may seem obvious, but jokes are an important aspect of a movie. There are many films with amazing plot and beautiful actresses on stage, but just aren't funny. People have different taste in comedy, but if a film maker does not account for these differences, chances are their movie will not succeed as well as it could.

The genre can be important. A black comedy will generally not be as popular as a romantic comedy, though this does not keep it from being great. Satires, dark comedies and their ilk are quite prone to developing cult followings because of how dedicated the fan base is to the movies.

While what 'good movies' are exactly is fleeting, many people can agree on what good aspects of movies are. By looking at these aspects it's easy to see what makes people regard some movies as the best comedies they have ever seen.
