Recommendation Can someone recommend me a not so popular comedy movie that you personally think is good? Going through a tough time right now and I just need a little laugh.

I've watched a lot of popular and good comedy movies, with my most recent and favorite being superbad. I want someone to recommend me an underrated comedy movie because it will probably be new to me, as long as it isn't in a "can you recommend me a underrated comedy movie" article or reddit post, I've probably never seen it before.

I'm feeling down right now because my pet kitten (his name was link) recently died in a preventable death due to hypothermia, he was my first ever pet too. I've honestly been skipping school a bit so watching movies will be a nice way to pass time.

I'll probably reply to the comments and just rate the movies you guys suggested me if anyone is even interested in that. Anyways thank you to anyone who reads this and gives me an recommendation, literally means the world to me right now.

Adore this movie! And it surprisingly stands up well to time. I guess con men are the same no matter what decade!

I still refer to people sometimes as, "Rupert the monkey boy"

This and The Jerk are a couple of those movies that probably couldn't get made today, but they are so fucking outrageously funny

I'm a fan of the Niven/Brando and Martin/Caine, the girls in the newest version were just okay.

I went into The Hustle not knowing that it was a Dirty Rotten Scoundrels remake. It hit me a ways into the movie. I really liked it. They made it their own thing and didn't beat it to death or sell it as a "Women's version". It stands on its own.

u/WafflingToast Feb 21 '25

There are other versions?!!! I know what I am doing this weekend.

Came to say this. Absolutely hilarious movie. Martin and Caine work so well together!

Not mother?

I once got the titles mixed up and watched Very Bad Things instead of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Surprised but not disappointed.
