Comedy Movies of 2019
Can You Ever Forgive Me?
(4 Stars) This surprising little gem will leave a mark on your heart.
Christopher Robin
(2.5 Stars) I’ve loved Eeyore all my life, but this movie doesn’t move me in any particular way. Might be appropriate for families with small children.
Green Book
(4.5 Stars) Best Picture Winner and a compelling tale of two men, unlikely partners in a road-trip through the Deep South. One of the better movies of the year.
Incredibles 2
(2 Stars) An outdated sequel that tries too hard to be relevant. Might be good for families with young children.
Isle of Dogs
(3.5 Stars) With all the trademarks of Wes Anderson, this movie is fun to watch while it puzzles the mind.
Mary Poppins Returns
(2 Stars) Might be good for families, but most adults are going to ask ‘Who asked her to return?’
Ralph Breaks the Internet
(4 Stars) Surprising animation with an imaginative visualization of the internet and a wonderful interlude with the Disney Princesses.
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
(4.5 Stars) A Coen Brothers film and a collection of six stories, each of which will puzzle and amuse.
Vice
(3.5 Stars) Liberals will find humor and lots to support disliking Cheney. Conservatives, well, maybe you should avoid this one.
