1. To me, the most underrated comedy is "Murder By Death"
an absolutely hilarious movie.

2. That is a funny movie
I haven't seen it in a while, but I remember getting a kick out of it, and it had a lot of big names in it. I should watch it again soon ...

4. Zombie Holocaust is another (if you are that way)
Very funny, in that campy zombie way.



It is about a crazy doctor that performs cruel experiments on zombies (and a couple of living folks too) on an island inhabited by fierce cannibals!

Not for most kids.

5. Steve Harvey Show
it is a tv show but it is really funny.
Missed it the first time around but they are playing reruns on TNT.

6. The remake of "The Money Pit"
The best screen laugh in cinema EVAH when the bathtub crashes through the floor.

The young Tom Hanks deserved an Oscar.

8. "We have weak trees."
I don't know if The Money Pit qualifies as underrated though.

That is such a dumb idea. Sometimes it amazes me you ever passed the bar.
I'm sure it does, you've never passed a bar in you life.
You are so much less attractive when I'm sober.
Thank goodness it's not that often.

15. Not Another Teen Movie.
The humor is pretty juvenile but it is presented in a way that is very clever. There are a few gross-out moments, however.

21. I thought it was pretty funny, too.
A lot better done than the inane "Date Movie" and "Epic Movie", which were just a thread of retreaded movie clips done over and strung together as a story.

19. Groundhog Day
One of the best comedies ever made, and a fairly profound little film.

If you guys like Idiocracy (and I know this movie has lots of fans here) then you have to seek this one out:

29. Many, many years ago when I was 23....
I loved The Stupids! It was very, well, stupid.

But it was a fun and innocent movie for the kids, which was the intended audience.

(And I also love Idiocracy).
