Hollywood is evidently resigned to the sad reality that comedies are no longer viable as theatrical releases. There seemed to be hope for the genre when the 2023 Glen Powell-Sydney Sweeney rom-com "Anyone But You" grossed a healthy $219 million at the worldwide box office against a $25 million budget.Unfortunately, the year that followed was a wash, with the Best Picture-winner "Anora" leading the way for the genre with a $59.8 million global take (which is terrific for a $6 million movie but not the kind of performance that had the industry cheering for a return of the big screen comedy).
I think it's silly to write off comedies altogether, though, and would cite the $51.9 million gross of this year's hilarious Keke Palmer-Sza buddy flick "One of Them Days" as evidence that people will show up, provided the film is properly marketed, but it's hard to test this hypothesis when...

Funnyman Eddie Murphy has been appearing in feature films since the early 1980s, and fans will have their own favorites for what might stand out as the most memorable. The actor and comedian himself can also name which film perhaps defines his career more so than any other.
Murphy recently appeared as a guest on The Jennifer Hudson Show, where he was joined by Keke Palmer. On the show, Hudson brought up how Deadpool & Wolverine star Ryan Reynolds said Eddie Murphy should have won an Oscar for The Nutty Professor, given how he played several different characters in the comedy. Murphy went on to share how much he loves that some people don't even realize just how many different roles he had in the film, calling it his "favorite thing." He then shared how he considers The Nutty Professor to be his career-defining role.

Comedy legend Eddie Murphy breaks down why his most unsettling moment in The Nutty Professor 2 was so strange.
Per Entertainment Weekly, Murphy opened up about the experience in question during a recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show. "You know what I like in Nutty Professor 2? The relationship between his parents," Murphy said. "Cause the father is impotent. He can't get there. So I have that whole thing where she's like, 'Why don't you take some Viagra?'" Murphy continued, "When I was doing that scene, I had to sit on the bed and look dejected, because my husband couldn't get an erection. I was like, 'This is a strange place to be in right now.'"

In the trailer for the horror thriller The Home, Pete Davidson’s character receives some simple instructions. It’s his first day on the job at an eerily quaint retirement home, and there isn’t much to do. All his employers ask is that he leave the place just as he found it and do not venture up to the fourth floor under any circumstances. Easy enough. But rebellious by nature, Davidson lets his curiosity get the best of him. It nearly gets him killed.

Keanu Reeves plays an angel sent to Earth in this upcoming comedy in Good Fortune, from Aziz Ansari. Here’s the first trailer.
Lionsgate has revealed the first trailer for Good Fortune, the upcoming Aziz Ansari comedy that brings a promising cast together with a fun premise for the actor’s long overdue directorial debut. The Parks & Recreation star has been slated to direct his first film for some time, beginning production on a feature back in 2022 that was ultimately scrapped.
Here’s a quick reminder: back in 2022, Ansari was in the midst of production on Being Mortal, a comedy movie he was directing for Searchlight Pictures. During production, an accusation was made about Bill Murray’s on-set conduct which ended up shutting the entire production down permanently.
While Searchlight indicated that it intended to work with Ansari again, it was Lionsgate that ultimately offered him his second chance to make a first impression.

John Wick Star Keanu Reeves Is A Disillusioned Angel In First Trailer For Aziz Ansari's Good Fortune
Though Keanu Reeves has tried his hand at more comedic and light-hearted fare over the years, the actor has established himself as a bona fide action star thanks to leading roles in the likes of The Matrix, Speed, and, of course, the John Wick franchise. So, his next project can definitely be viewed as an intriguing change of pace.
In Good Fortune, Reeves plays a well-intentioned but underqualified "budget guardian angel" named Gabriel, who asks his boss Martha (Sandra Oh) to give him more "meaningful duties" (we later learn that he's in charge of keeping people who text when they drive out of danger).
Martha tells him that in order to save a lost soul, he needs to find a lost soul, which is where Aziz Ansari's Arj comes in.
Arj does odd jobs for a wealthy socialite named Jeff (Seth Rogen), and Gabriel decides to attempt to convince...

He finds Arj, played by Ansari, who is a lost soul, peeing in bottles while working for a thinly veiled Amazon-like company.

Keanu Reeves stars as an angel who strives to do his best but isn’t particularly skilled at his job in the teaser trailer for Lionsgate’s Good Fortune. Aziz Ansari pulls triple duty—acting, directing, and writing—in his feature filmmaking debut.
The cast also includes Seth Rogen, Keke Palmer, and Sandra Oh. Ansari, Anthony Katagas, and Alan Yang produce, with Aniz Adam Ansari, Jonathan McCoy, Christopher Woodrow, and Connor Digregorio executive producing.
Lionsgate released this very basic description of the comedy: “In Good Fortune, a well-meaning but rather inept angel named Gabriel (Reeves) meddles in the lives of a struggling gig worker (Ansari) and a wealthy venture capitalist (Rogen).”
Good Fortune will open in theaters on October 17, 2025.

What do acting and comedy aficionados Keke Palmer, Pete Davidson, and the legend himself, Eddie Murphy, have in common? Well, it's not just wits and laughs. The three actors have teamed up for an epic story written by Kevin Burrows and Matt Mider. The Pickup, directed by Tim Story, the filmmaker behind The Blackening, Barbershop and Ride Along, will see Murphy and Davidson join forces with Palmer, who plays a criminal mastermind. Amazon MGM Studios just released new stills from the action comedy film and also gave expecting audiences a streaming release date.
After the shocking news of a stunt accident on the set of the new comedy film, The Pickup was on thin ice. But now that the dust has settled after the accident, Amazon is ready to go into full promotion mode. The series of first-look stills for The Pickup show that Palmer's character, Zoe, is not messing around.

The 2025 Webby Awards theme may have been “All Good,” as the annual ceremony celebrated the best of the internet from the past year, but host Ilana Glazer wasn’t shy about going after politics or the more problematic elements of technology.
Glazer kicked off the evening by joking that the “All Good” theme was selected because an alternative like “‘The Broligarchy’s Speeding of the Onslaught of Facism in the Face of the Climate Catastrophe at the Point of No Return’ would have bummed everybody out.”
As she continued her monologue, Glazer spoke about the continued uncertainty around the fate of TikTok and joked that Signal is the app that should truly be banned.
“TikTok and the Trump administration were the Ross and Rachel of social media — a real will they, won’t they,” Glazer joked. “They banned it and then they quickly brought it back. Now they’re talking about banning it again.

The “Saturday Night Live” breakout performer has booked a major supporting role in Hart’s next film “72 Hours,” set up at Netflix.

It's not every day that we get to be excited about a new animated show, but now Nickelodeon is giving us just that. The network is preparing to release Wylde Pak, an exciting new series that centers around two kids learning to coexist in a shared reality they didn't imagine for themselves.

A bruise is how the body remembers trauma; silence is how the soul carries it. Sometimes, what we see as a smiling face on a red carpet hides a story so splintered it could slice through glass. When we saw the pictures of Halle Bailey — the chip in her tooth, the purpled skin on her arm — we didn’t see just wounds. We saw a woman finally saying, enough.
Well, her recent legal steps against her ex, Ddg, are not tabloid fodder; they are a loud whisper from someone long muted. The Little Mermaid star was granted a temporary domestic violence restraining order against the musician on May 13.
In this article, we’ll walk you through the timeline of the alleged abuse. Let’s not read this with curiosity. Let’s read with conscience.
