Comic Gems from the Past and the Recent Past

July 30th, 2010


It's not easy to find a good comedy these days that doesn't have a string of dirty words or inappropriate scenes. We looked through our library of short and long movie reviews and pulled out the most acceptable comedies that have earned Four Stars for Quality. We filtered the search by only listing live action movies and didn't include Animated Movies in this list. We'll save those for another list.

So, grab the family and get ready for some fun.

The list below is according to the acceptability rating, starting with lowest and going to the highest acceptability.

 

MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING, 2002

Quality: * * * * Acceptability: -1

MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING is a big fat independent movie that's a celebration of one American woman's ethnic heritage, including the remnants of her family's Greek Orthodox Christian faith. The movie's Christian worldview is spoiled by a brief, implied sexual interlude, some light foul language, and alcohol use.
