The 50 best comedies made during the 21st century, according to 19 Rolling Stone writers.

quote:
After a number of heated arguments and lots of name-calling and the occasional chaotic pie fight, we've narrowed down our choices for the greatest comedies of the 21st century. Culling this down to a mere 50 entries was a tough call – humor is a seriously subjective topic, and every one of our 19 writers weighing in had their own idea of what constitutes "hilarious." But this list represents the best cross-section of screen comedy of our still young millennium, a collection that runs the gamut from droll to bladder-loosening.
