Your Highness
I'm not sure why, but I wasn't really expecting a lot when I watched this movie. But as a fan of ridiculous comedies, I was pleasantly surprised. With a lineup including Danny McBride, James Franco (in comedy form), Natalie Portman, Zoey Deschanel, and others, you can't really go wrong. From the constant marijuana use to the ridiculous accents and speech, this movie was really quite funny.

Hall Pass..
So, as far as comedy movies of this kind go, I'm almost always a fan of them. However, this movie was an exception.
It stars Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis, who are married to Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate, respectively. The basic premise of the movie is that the guys talk inscesently about sex with other women, eventually driving their spouses crazy. While there are several parts of the movie that made me laugh, I found it to be overall a rather depressing movie. I think it's simply hard to make a movie that is going to make people feel happy while the plot has to do with people cheating on their husbands and wives.
Overall I did laugh a couple times during the movie, however it left me feeling a bit sad after watching it. Did not really enjoy.

Idiocracy
So, I felt that if I am reviewing movies, I had to review this one. This is really one of my favorite movies ever. Its made by Mike Judge, the same dude who made Office Space and King of the Hill.
The basic premise of the movie is that stupid people reproduce so much faster than smart people, that instead of having a super advanced civilization in the future, we have a world filled with dumb asses.
The main character Joe (Luke Wilson) goes into an army experiment with Rita (Maya Rudolph), and are kept in suspension for many years. When they awake they find a world full of idiots.
If you are a fan of Office Space and King of the Hill then this movie is a must see. Even if you aren't you should still watch it anyways, because its a really funny movie.

Horrible Bosses
For anyone who has ever watched and is a fan of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, then this movie is pretty much a must see simply because Charlie Day is in it.
Other than just Charlie Day, it also stars Jason Bateman and Jason Sudeikis. Opposite them as their horrible bosses is Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey, and Colin Ferrell, respectively. From the title of the movie it can be inferred that the three main characters have horrible bosses that make their life a living hell. The basic premise of the movie is that they realize that they would be better off if their bosses were dead. Through a serious of humorous scenes, each agree to kill each other's bosses in order to make their lives better.
While I personally don't agree with Charlie Day's character (Dale Arbus) wanting to kill his boss, simply because it's Jennifer Aniston sexually harassing him, the other characters do make a good case. Kevin Spacey does an extremely good job playing a total dick and psychopath, almost leaving you wishing he was in the movie even more. Colin Ferrell is almost unrecognizable as a balding, fat, cocaine using moron. Though I'm not a huge fan of him, he was rather humorous at times. Jason Bateman and Sudeikis were pretty decent, but Charlie Day really stole the show at least for me, since I love It's Always Sunny. He plays he same bumbling dummy that he does in the show, which never gets old. However, I think the most shocking part was the amount of profanity and dirty talk that Jennifer Aniston uses throughout the movie. Almost everything she has ever played in has her playing as a sweet girl next door type, and this role just shatters that.
Overall I really enjoyed the movie. Of course a lot of it is unbelievable and off the wall, but so are almost all of the popular comedies these days. If you enjoy all the recent comedies that have come out in the last several years such as Hangover, Wedding Crashers, Talladega Nights.. ect, and like It's Always Sunny, then definitely give this movie a watch.
