These are the Top 10 Most Hilarious Comedy Films of 2025 (so far)—settle in with your snacks and prepare for some laughs.
Summer of 69 offers a contemporary, female-centric take on the teen comedy. Shy and introverted Abby is set on winning over her high-school crush before they graduate, leading her to seek guidance from an unlikely mentor: a confident and kind-hearted dancer named Santa Monica. Director Jillian Bell captures the spirit of classic ’90s teen films while infusing it with a modern, empowering perspective and a touch of sincerity. The outcome is a coming-of-age tale that’s both cheeky and tender, powered by the fantastic rapport between its two leads, resulting in a movie brimming with laughs and authentic charm.
Sacramento takes viewers on a clever, introspective journey into male camaraderie. Michael Angarano plays Ricky, a spontaneous spirit who drags his anxious best friend Glenn, portrayed by Michael Cera, on a last-minute road voyage from LA to Sacramento. Trapped in a vintage convertible, the pair work through past tensions, future anxieties, and each other’s idiosyncrasies over countless miles. The movie radiates a peculiar warmth even as the two friends test each other’s patience. Featuring Kristen Stewart as Glenn’s expectant partner and razor-sharp dialogue, Sacramento evolves into a subtly funny and insightful look at the complexities of a long-term friendship.
Wes Anderson is back with the pastel-hued escapade, The Phoenician Scheme. Benicio del Toro portrays a rich magnate who, after escaping a murder plot, involves his distant daughter—currently training to be a nun—in a strange business arrangement. Teaming up with a socially inept Norwegian bug expert (Michael Cera), they maneuver through dubious partners and impending dangers, all wrapped in Anderson’s signature quirky style. With a cast including Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, and Bryan Cranston, the film is as visually precise as it is peculiarly touching—a dryly humorous story of family reconciliation, packaged in symmetrical frames and whimsical detail.
Idris Elba and John Cena showcase masterful comedic rhythm and chaotic synergy in this brisk action-comedy. After the British Prime Minister and the U.S. President become the focus of a killer plot, their well-documented friction must be set aside for a shaky partnership. The film cleverly explores arrogance, international relations, and world-ending dangers, blending cultural misunderstandings with spectacular action sequences. Elba’s cool demeanor perfectly contrasts Cena’s boisterous persona, creating a laugh-out-loud pairing as they dodge treachery, gunfire, and one ridiculous situation after another. It’s a polished, high-tension political satire that provides both big giggles and even bigger bangs—everything you could ask for in a contemporary buddy film.
Prepare for maximum awkwardness—Friendship is 2025’s most audacious “bromance.” Comedy virtuoso Tim Robinson brings his unique brand of uncomfortable humor to the part of Craig, a suburban father so lonely he aggressively gloms onto his charismatic new neighbor, Paul. As Craig’s overzealous efforts at friendship descend into madness, the film expertly balances hilarity with gut-wrenching discomfort. The result is a “toxic buddy” satire that will have you both roaring with laughter and cringing in your seat—a brilliantly awkward comedy with an unexpected emotional core.
What happens when three improvisational comics are sent to infiltrate an actual crime syndicate? You get Deep Cover, a brilliantly goofy action-comedy that leans all the way into its premise. Bryce Dallas Howard plays a down-on-her-luck improv instructor who, alongside two of her most enthusiastic pupils, is enlisted by law enforcement to pose as fearsome London gangsters. Unsurprisingly, the plan fails in the most spectacular and amusing ways possible. Reviewers have compared the movie to a superb improv scene: it starts with a ridiculous premise and builds on it, allowing every actor their moment in the spotlight during the unpredictable antics.
The rent is overdue, funds are zero, and it’s about to be One of Them Days—for real. Keke Palmer and SZ-A headline this frenetic, side-splitting buddy comedy about two best friends scrambling to earn their rent money before the clock runs out. Through a series of wild schemes and chance encounters, their odyssey through the most unpredictable parts of South LA becomes a non-stop adventure. It’s loaded with vibrancy, style, and that unbreakable best-friend chemistry that makes the journey believable. If you’ve ever had one of those days where everything falls apart in the most amusing fashion, this movie is your spirit animal.
Don’t be misled by the unusual name—Bob Trevino Likes It is one of the year’s most touching and pleasant surprises. Based on a true story of an improbable pairing, this independent treasure follows Lily, a young woman seeking connection, who accidentally forms a friendship with a middle-aged man named Bob Trevino during an online search for her absent father. As their unexpected relationship grows, the film finds gentle laughs and profound emotion in their created family unit. Bolstered by incredibly genuine performances from its stars, it becomes a wonderfully endearing dramedy—a hopeful narrative about compassion and finding your place.
A buddy comedy dealing with PTSD and featuring a ghost seems like a tricky mix, but My Dead Friend Zoe pulls it off beautifully. Sonequa Martin-Green gives a stunning performance as Merit, a military veteran managing her trauma by regularly conversing with her best friend Zoe… who is actually a ghost. It’s humorous, deeply honest, and strangely inspiring. Natalie Morales embodies the ghost-Zoe with wit and depth, while Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris provide grounded, sage support. Somehow, the film navigates sorrow and the absurd without compromising either. Profoundly moving and uniquely weird, this is a special film that truly deserves both its chuckles and its tears.

The Ballad of Wallis Island is a perfect harmony of music, comedy, and poignant reflection. British comics Tim Key and Tom Basden headline this distinctive film—Key as an oddball lottery winner, and Basden as one half of a folk duo (with Carey Mulligan) whom the winner idolizes and invites to his private island. When unresolved issues between the musicians surface, the planned dream performance threatens to implode. What unfolds is a cringey, touching, and softly amusing story about admiration, isolation, and the delicate art of human connection.
