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 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 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.
