A very clear classification that does not need any introductions, who doesn’t like comedies and the good sense of humor? We have seen many comedy movies in 2013, but personally I did not find any special movies with extraordinary and funny ideas. I found it a normal year characterized by the number of comedies released more than their quality.
This is a list of some good comedy movies that somehow succeeded to put a smile on the viewers’ faces. It’s a top 10 list of comedy movies based on their box office global revenues. Enjoy!
Ranked 10th: Instructions not Included
Instructions not included
We start our list of movies with a great Mexican comedy; it made a tremendous job and achieved a huge success. “Instructions not Included” has grossed an international total of (90 million dollars) compared to its modest budget ($ 5 million), making it the most successful film in Spanish, the most successful Mexican film and placed it fourth on the box office list for foreign films in U.S. The film was directed and starring by the Mexican actor Eugenio Derbez.
Ranked 9th: The Internship
The Internship
Another comedy film bringing together the duo Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn in their third appearance together on the big screen, this appearance was not as strong as expected. The film got many critics but genuinely even if the story wasn’t very original but it was good, the sights and the acting weren’t bad at all. The movie didn’t have the success that was expected for it, achieving a global revenue of (91 million dollars) compared to its budget estimated at (58 million dollars). The director of “Night At The Museum” Shawn Levy is the producer and director of this film.
Ranked 8th: Warm bodies
Warm Bodies
The film deals with zombies in a different way by adding romance, comedy and intimacy to the movie. It is adapted from the novel with the same name, directed and written by Jonathan Levine, who worked hard to make a piece that would not be called “another zombie movie.” The film’s budget was estimated at (35 million dollars) and has achieved a good revenue (116 million dollars) starring of two ascending stars Nicholas Holt and Teresa Palmer.
