Quarantine Movies: The Best of Comedy

While being stuck at home every day is the safest option, it can get really boring. You may think that you have run out of things to do at home, but have you considered watching some of the best comedy movies that will distract your mind, keep you entertained, and make you laugh? If not, you are in luck. Here are 5 movies that will make you laugh during quarantine and keep you entertained for a few hours!

1. Eurotrip

One of the best comedies of all time is Eurotrip. It’s a comical movie with humor-filled scenes that will leave you falling off your seat. Imagine looking for your true love across the country—well, this group of friends committed to that. Once lead role, Scott Thomas (played by Scott Mechlowicz) graduates high school, he decided to keep in contact with his sexy German pen pal, Mieke (played by Jessica Boehrs), who Thomas believes is a man. Once he finds out his pen pal is actually a female and that he has shut out the love of his life by confusing her with being a male, he goes on a European quest with his best friend Cooper (Jacob Pitts), Jamie (Travis Wester), and Jeny (Michelle Trachtenberg). Throughout this quest, these four friends experience a crazy, fun, and exciting adventure that leads to many knee-slapping moments and a song performance by the famous Matt Damon titled "Scotty Doesn’t Know.”

2. Soul Plane

Do you have a fear of flying on planes? No need to fear—the NWA airlines is here. Or is it? New airlines are always a big risk because people are normally scared to try new things. However, this airline is worth a try. The film features Snoop Dogg as one of the leading roles, Captain Mac, leaving the plane helpless and out of control. Character Nashawn Wade (played by Kevin Hart) ends up filing a lawsuit against the airline company for getting stuck in the airline’s toilet and the death of his dog. He wins a multimillion-dollar deal and opens up his own airline that is supported by the African American community. The airline hits many bumps with the Hunkee family. This movie can make you laugh so much that you may even cry.

3. Don’t Be A Menace

Living in a rough neighborhood can be traumatizing, but this movie takes that experience and makes it relatable and funny to watch. Ashtray (Shawn Wayans) moves into a new town, allowing him to reconnect with his cousin Loc Dog (Marlon Wayans). Loc Dog introduces Ashtray to a hectic and crazy lifestyle that comes with living in the slums of Los Angeles. This leads Ashtray to realize he wants better for himself. Ashtray finds love with a woman who has a lot of kids and a crazy ex-boyfriend. The crazy ex-boyfriend and the newly found girlfriend cause Ashtrays experience in this neighborhood to be unforgettable. This movie is absolutely the exaggerated version of Boys In the Hood and Menace to Society, but will definitely leave the audience with a good laugh.

4. The 40 Year-Old Virgin

When you get to be 40, many will think you are settled with a family, a house, and money. But, not 40 Year-Old Virgin’s star, Andy (played by Steve Carrell). Andy is not your typical 40-year-old; he spends most of his time focusing on video games and his action figure collection, and true to the title, he is also a virgin. He works a simple job in a smart-tech shop and encounters very comical situations with shoppers, like a shopper played by Kevin Hart. These unusual encounters leave his co-worker Jay (Romany Malco) going out of their way to help him get a date. Jay believes Andy is a hopeless romantic. This allows Andy’s friends to push him to find romance and love along with a few laughs and painfully funny situations, like Andy getting waxed.

5. Knocked Up

Having a baby is a big responsibility, even if it’s planned. Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl) and Ben Stone (Seth Rogen) manage to handle the responsibility with only a few weeks of knowing each other. Alison Scott was living a good stable life, but she had no idea she would be hitting a bump... A pregnancy bump. Her pregnancy quickly takes a crazy turn due to her relationship with Ben. Alison and Ben are completely different people and don’t have much in common, but somehow make it work. Or do they?

These are five comedy movies that will hopefully make you laugh during quarantine.
