Can anyone recommend a good feel
Good comedy.

I generally like Adam sandler films but I've seen all of those.

Feeling a bit down, been a bit of a shitty day and I need a good laugh. Maybe a little cry when it all works out in the film.

Nothing too sad like ps I love you.

Thanks Smile

I watched Ghost Town last night, Netflix.
I love Ricky Gervais.

Motherland

If you're willing to watch a series instead, try Superstore on Netflix. Episodes are only 20-30 minutes each and it's one of those shit comedies that makes you laugh at silliness.

Interested in this thread?

I really enjoyed Jumanji, against the odds!

I typed stand up comedy in the search bar on amazon prime to help cheer myself up the other day and it really helped (until I woke the 3 year old up from laughing too loud 🤦🏼‍♀️) depends who/what you find funny but that was my starting point if that helps

Abbott Elementary on Disney or Luca also on Disney or the Italian job the original. Or community I think on netflix.
I always enjoy Death in Paradise iplayer when I've had a bad day. I like the sheer insanity of it. I looked up real crime figures once and that island would be the most dangerous place on earth to live, if it was real. One day I want to do a PhD on tv crime shows.

The Bank of Dave on Netflix, it's based on a true story too.

I watched Bank of Dave last week, it was rubbish in a good way, nice and safe.

I've watched both of those. And motherland and Jumanji.

The switch is good so far.

Modern Family is ace, my go to comfort comedy as there are so many episodes it's hard to run out

Augustone · 13/02/2023 19:05

I have gone back to the very beginning of Frasier and it makes me really laugh out loud even though i have seen every episode over the years, i still laugh. Currently on All4 on demand

AnyFucker · 13/02/2023 19:06

I am planning to rewatch Schitts Creek from the beginning

Detectorists is a nice gentle comedy series, lots of beautiful scenes of the English countryside and sweet, quirky characters.
it’s on bbc2 now I think
