Comedy movies to watch now

They say that laughter is the best medicine, and considering what the world is going through now, these comedy movies curated by the Readro review team may be just what the doctor ordered.

Free Guy

Day in and day out, bank teller Guy (Ryan Reynolds) is subjected to being yelled at, punched, run over, held hostage, and shot at—which he eventually realizes is because he’s an NPC (non-player character) in an incredibly violent open-world video game. That’s when Guy decides he doesn’t want to be that guy anymore. He wants to give being the hero a try.

Jungle Cruise

Disney takes inspiration from yet another of its theme park attractions in hopes of scoring a Pirates of the Caribbean–sized hit with this film. Dr. Lily Houghton (Emily Blunt) goes in search of a legendary tree purported to have unparalleled medicinal properties hidden deep in the Amazon jungle. She hires a smart-aleck skipper (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) to take her and her brother downriver in his rundown boat. The journey is filled with dangerous curses, supernatural forces, creatures, restless natives, and dad jokes.

Minions: The Rise of Gru

It’s the origin story Despicable Me fans have been longing for. The new installment in Universal’s Minions franchise will flashback to the fabulous 1970s when the future supervillain is a tween with a dream of world domination but has to follow the rules set forth by his self-absorbed mom (Julie Andrews). The crooked-nosed baddie does it all with the hope of impressing and then joining a supervillain supergroup called the Vicious 6. Unfortunately, when Gru finally gets a chance to audition, he upstages them and makes powerful new enemies.
