Comedy Movies of 2022
2022 Oscar Comedy Movies
An overview of this year’s Comedy Genre movies and a list of a few from last year.
CODA
(4.5 *) A simple tale, simply told. But delivers a big emotional payoff.
Coming 2 America
Coming 2 America (1.5*) – Even if you liked the original, this sequel was unnecessary.
Cruella
Cruella (4*) – A delightful diversion with great chemistry between the two Emmas and an interesting story of how movies happen.
Don’t Look Up
(4 Stars) No, Not Best Picture But a Satirical film with a not-so-funny message.
Encanto
Encanto (3.5*) Good family entertainment, but Disney and Miranda might be showing fatigue!
Free Guy
(2.5*) Free Guy – Some good acting can’t quite save this fairly shallow movie.
Licorice Pizza
(3.5 *) Alana Haim is a real gem, but the movie is a Hollywood-inside-joke.
Luca
(1.5*) Luca is fun for about twenty minutes and then descends into boredom!
Raya and the Last Dragon
(2.0 *) Raya and the Last Dragon is visually stunning, but is going to leave adults rather empty!
The Mitchells vs the Machines
(0.5*) The Mitchells vs the Machines is quite possibly the worst movie I’ve ever seen and certainly the worst one this year.
The Worst Person in the World
(4*) The Worst Person in the World is a beautiful film with a fantastic Renate Reinsve, but maybe appeals most to a certain audience.
