This year’s lineup of the funniest movies of 2025 features star-studded casts, bold storytelling, and some seriously weird (in the best way) premises. From Netflix darlings to festival hits, and even Bollywood gems, these are the must-watch comedies guaranteed to keep you entertained.
So let’s dive into the countdown of the best comedy films of 2025, ranked from fun but skippable… to absolute laugh-out-loud essentials.
10. The Baltimorons
If you love quirky indie humor, The Baltimorons is your jam. Set during the holidays, it follows small-town characters navigating messy family dynamics with sharp, awkward comedy. It’s heartfelt and charming, but admittedly not as big and bold as other entries on this list.
Why watch: For fans of indie comedies like Juno or Lady Bird, this one delivers intimate laughs with a touch of holiday warmth.
9. Bhool Chuk Maaf
Bollywood brings the goods with this fantasy-rom-com. The story? A groom trapped in a wedding-day time loop, forced to relive the chaos until he finally gets it right. Equal parts slapstick and heartwarming, it’s a refreshing international entry into the funniest movies of 2025.
Why watch: Time loops + wedding drama = comedy gold. Plus, it’s one of the few global picks on the list, giving the year’s comedies a cultural twist.
8. Under Fire
DEA agent. FBI agent. Both stranded under sniper fire. Cue nonstop bickering, mismatched buddy energy, and plenty of one-liners. Under Fire doesn’t reinvent the buddy-cop formula, but it leans into it hard—making it a reliable popcorn comedy.
Why watch: If you loved 21 Jump Street or The Hitman’s Bodyguard, this one scratches that same over-the-top itch.
7. Oh, Hi!
Now here’s a rom-com with teeth. Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman headline this twisted romantic comedy about a couple’s weekend getaway that spirals into hostage territory. Equal parts hilarious and uncomfortable, it’s a festival favorite that blends dark humor with rom-com tropes in unexpected ways.
Why watch: If you’re tired of cookie-cutter romances, this bold indie-style comedy flips the script and then some.
6. Summer of 69
Awkward teen antics meet outrageous mentorship in this raunchy coming-of-age comedy. A shy high-schooler hires a stripper to help him “learn the ropes” in pursuit of his crush. Yes, the premise is wild—but the movie surprises with genuine sweetness beneath the crude humor.
Why watch: Fans of Superbad and Booksmart will eat this one up. Expect memes, GIFs, and viral clips all over TikTok.
5. One of Them Days
Netflix is bringing the laughs with this buddy comedy starring Keke Palmer and SZA as best friends on a chaotic mission to replace stolen rent money before eviction. It’s fast-paced, filled with witty dialogue, and loaded with chemistry between the leads.
Why watch: It’s proof that streaming platforms are still cranking out the best comedy films that people will binge-watch immediately.
4. The Monkey
Stephen King plus comedy? You better believe it. The Monkey takes a cursed wind-up toy and turns it into a horrifyingly funny spectacle. The film balances creepy thrills with absurd humor, making it a standout for fans of dark comedy.
Why watch: If you’ve ever laughed at a horror scene you weren’t supposed to, this horror-comedy will be right up your alley.
⭐ Honorable Mention: Back in Action
This Netflix action-comedy marks the return of Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz as retired CIA agents whose peaceful life gets blown up when their cover is exposed. Packed with explosions, bickering, and over-the-top spy antics, it’s not the sharpest script of the year, but it’s a nostalgic ride.
Why watch: For fans of Mr. & Mrs. Smith and anyone who missed seeing Cameron Diaz on screen, this is pure fun.
3. You’re Cordially Invited
Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell team up in this wedding rom-com about two clashing ceremonies forced to share the same venue. The result? Over-the-top chaos, hilarious rivalries, and heartfelt resolutions.
Why watch: It’s one of the most crowd-pleasing must-watch comedies of 2025—you’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you might even tear up.
2. The Naked Gun
Yes, it’s back. The legendary spoof series gets a modern revival starring Liam Neeson, and somehow it works. Slapstick, absurd gags, and witty wordplay make this reboot feel both nostalgic and fresh.
Why watch: Fans of the original series will love the faithful callbacks, while newcomers will discover why slapstick still matters in 2025.
1. Heads of State
This is it—the funniest movie of 2025. John Cena plays the U.S. President, Idris Elba the UK Prime Minister, and the two are forced into an unlikely alliance after an assassination attempt. Packed with political jabs, outrageous action, and top-tier comedic timing, it’s the blockbuster comedy event of the year.
Why watch: Big stars, big laughs, big stakes. This is the definition of a must-watch comedy in 2025.
