CBR's 10 Comedy Movies That Tried Too Hard to Be Funny

"The comedy genre has a wide variety of films, with some of cinema's greatest careers having been built up through the power of making people laugh. However, the genre is a very mixed bag when it comes to genuinely funny stories. Many films try too hard to be funny, resulting in jokes that fall completely flat and stories that go nowhere. Comedies that lean too much on cheap laughs end up having very little in the way of substance. Instead, they try to capitalize on things like the star power of their leading actors or the goodwill built up by an existing franchise. All of these are the perfect recipe for a bad or disappointing comedy. These movies aren't always bad, but many traded a good story for shallow humor." - cbr.com
