Just For Laughs

The sillier the better, these movies strive for laugh-a-minute pacing, popcorn-choking chortles, and gut-busting guffaws. Though they may be hit-or-miss, the gags come fast and furious with this type of film, and the success or failure of the comedy in question depends upon the overall percentage of jokes that amply tickle a particular viewer's funny bone.
