I’m telling you about the best comedies of 2018 that might have passed your attention. Not all movies can be called comedies in their pure form, but there will be something to laugh and reflect on.
Can You Forgive Me?
“Can You Forgive Me?” – is not exactly a comedy, but it will be something to laugh at, because the main role was played by Melissa McCarthy. The picture is based on the real story of the writer Lee Ispael, who because of the acute need for money decided to forge letters of celebrities and sell them as valuable copies.
Stupid and meaningless gesture
Another movie, based on a true story, tells the story of Doug Kenny, the founder of a scandalous humor magazine. In 1970, he was criticized by the public for his unconventional views on humor and comedy. The picture will show Doug’s entire path to popularity and tell why he decided to dedicate his life to this particular cause.
Sorry to bother you
The black comedy is about a guy who lives in an alternate universe and gets a job in a call center. It’s not very prestigious, but you have to make a living somehow. Unexpectedly for himself and his loved ones Cassius becomes successful, rich, and his colleagues and even his girlfriend begin to protest against him. The head of the corporation, meanwhile, offers him a high salary, which everyone dreams of, and the guy has to make a hard choice.
Black Clanman
A dark-skinned policeman in early 1970s Colorado decides to embark on a secret and very dangerous operation to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan. One of Spike Lee’s most thrilling films in recent years is based on true events and that makes it feel completely different. But don’t expect this to be a comedy in its purest form and a film for a fun light-hearted evening, there is a lot to think about.
Night Games
