I think we can all agree that after the garbage fire in 2020, everyone deserves a laugh once again. Right now, we don't need more drama in our lives (if it's notBridgerton, and in this case, okay, okay, I admit). What better way to get away from reality than to watch a movie, preferably with low stakes and high levels of laughter? For your viewing pleasure, we've rounded up the best comedy movies you can stream on Hulu right now. And when you're done overeating everything Hulu has to offer, check out our favorite comedy movies released in 2020.
Book store
Few films reallyreach such an elusive irreverent but gentle balance, butBooksmart does it with a fair amount of refreshing honesty as well. On the eve of high school graduation, successful Amy and Molly (Caitlin Dever and Beanie Feldstein) vow to make up for their lost time with one night of chaotic debauchery. Bold and coolBooksmart is the antidote to the classic male high school romp that doesn't have a single cliché.
50 first dates
Is there a better romantic comedy couple than Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler? I think no. 50 First Dates finds the charming Henry Sandler wooing the sweet and sassy Lucy Barrymore… Everyone. Single. Day. (She suffers from short-term memory loss and wakes up every morning with no memory of him.) So far, we've probably watched 50 times.50 first dates , but it still makes us smile as much as we did on our first date. viewing. (See what I did there?)
What do men want
We'll watch anything with Taraji P. Henson, but this funny movie is at the top of the list. The actress plays the role of a sports agent determined to prove her sexist colleagues wrong. And, thanks to a psychic, she can hear their inner thoughts... which, if you think about it, could be the premise for a horror movie, but trust us, it's funny.
Deadpool
Some action hero movies are serious and gritty, butDeadpool not like that at all: full of crude humor and poignant sarcasm (courtesy of the anti-hero himself, played by Ryan Reynolds),Deadpool is a universal crowd pleaser.
Crazy, stupid love
You can't just lookCrazy, stupid love" once: the drama still feels fresh, ten years after its release. Starring Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell and Julianne Moore. The focus of the film is tender love at any age. (Also, Gosling has been shirtless a few times, so here it is.)
Parasite
Black Comedy was the most celebrated movie of 2019, and for good reason. Commenting on classicism, economic inequality, greed and family hierarchies, the award-winning film masterfully pursued the line of absurdity and premeditation, entertainment and contemplation. The film is about a poor family planning their way into the life of a rich one, and at the same time feels like a crowd comedy and a feature film.
Ingrid goes west

Palm springs
In this Hulu original, two reluctant wedding guests (played by Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti) find themselves trapped in an endless time loop, forcing them to relive the same day over and over again. Thinkabout Groundhog Day, but add to it a mysterious sci-fi twist and a charismatic (and chemical) comedy duo.
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery
If you've come this far in life but never watched the original installment in the franchise of the same name, now's your chance: the iconic '90s spy comedy film is available to watch just like its predecessors. Excellent, baby.

I, tone
Margot Robbie plays an eccentric and extremely competitive figure skater who plans to attack her opponent on the ice. It looks like they thought about this dark humor until you remember that this disturbing story happened in real life.
Not a fool
Proving that blood will always be thicker than water, Tiffany Haddish makes us roll with "Nobody's stupid" , where she plays a woman recently released from prison who helps her sister track down the guy who caught her.
