10. Tyler’s Perry Madea Goes to Prison. The reviews on this movie are among some of the worst I’ve ever read, until I thought about who signed the movie and showed both Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence already. “a black man did it for a fat black woman.” Despite this, due to the success of the play of the same name, and the Tyler Perry brand, the film grossed $90 million domestically. Perry plays both the title role, Grandma Madea and her nemesis Joe. As the title suggests, Madea threatens to go to jail after a high-speed chase by the police and the plot of the film tries to get her family out.
9. In the first year. This comedy was a hit or miss among the viewers, but it was a shot of combining comic actors who have done well in recent years. Jack Black, who is an outcast “collector” among the hunters in this biblical comedy, plays the main role. Michael Cera of Superbad and Juno also plays a congregant who doesn’t have the best luck with the ladies. Hank Azaria (The Simpsons and Per Polly) has smaller roles than Paul Rudd and Michael Mintz-Plasse aka McLovin.
8. Paul Blart: Mall Cop. In one of Kevin James‘s first projects that ended with King of Queens, he plays Paul. Blart (and co-wrote the script), a security officer at a New Jersey shopping mall. Blart loves another employee, a female who stands for hair extensions, and takes his job as seriously as a real cop .

7. Couple’s Retreat. This starring film was co-written by Vince Vaughan and Ironman Jon Favreau. The plot of the film revolves around four couples on a tropical vacation, where the couple rehab their relationships. Spouses from Jason Bateman and Kristen Bell were seriously divorced.

6. Bruno: Delicious travels across America to end making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Alien in a Mesh T-shirt. Sacha Baron Cohen is highly anticipated at his comedy film Borat was long awaited, but sadly it did not match. This is not to say that the film wasn’t a little successful ($60 million made) and still hysterical, but it didn’t have the critical outcry of Borat. The film is similar to Borat in that the plot is based on a foreigner coming to America, but Bruno is a gay Austrian “fashionista” trying to make it big in Hollywood. Filled with male nudity and profanity, the film took her to a place some were not prepared for. But it was nominated for the best comedy Choice Awards, so it clearly gets the attention of teenage fans.
5. Ridiculous People Judd Apatow’s latest film is a dark comedy written and directed by him. Adam Sandler, Apatow’s former roommate in real life, as a seasoned comedian who finds himself terminally ill and has little time alone it remains to live Sandler works with Wrath of the new comics, played by Seth Rogen, and takes him under his wing as an assistant. Compared to Apatow’s usual lascivious comedies, this one was a wonder why it got serious.
4. The Greatest Father in the World. This dark comedy starring Robin Williams as a man who “settled” in his life was a hit at Sundance 2009 Film Festival. Williams plays a high school poetry teacher, and the father of one “difficult” son, played by Daryl Sabara. He came to want to have some fame and fortune once, but not to earn it from the institute. Directed and written by comedian Bobcat Goldthwait, the film also features full-frontal nudity from Robin Williams himself.
3. I Love You, Man. This movie can probably be described as a romantic comedy, but not in that sense. straight or homosexual, but in the words of a “bromance.

Rashida Jones, daughter of Quincy Jones, plays Rudd’s wife.
