72 Hours (2026)

After mistakenly being added to a Gen Z group chat, a struggling marketing executive decides to take them up on their offer to go on a bachelor party to Miami while agreeing to bankroll their holiday, in hopes of better connecting with the youth demographic. What this means for the viewer is a lot of ageist jokes that go both ways. I'm ashamed to admit it made me laugh on more than one occasion, particularly in the second half when it starts to pick up the pace. But don't get me wrong, this is a very dumb comedy of the Kevin Hart variety.

All Night Wrong (2026)

A late night hook-up gets derailed by a series of incidents involving mistaken identity, murder and other felonies in this misguided dark comedy. A terribly plotted movie full of unlikable characters and stupid situations that pissed me off. It's just as awful as it sounds, although the soundtrack was pretty good.

One Night Only (2026)

The Purge, but for fucking. In an increasingly repressive society where pre-martial relations are punishable by law, a chastity mandate has been put into place, with an exemption that for one night of the year, singles get to have at it. Now introduce the two sweetest characters with hearts of gold and have them "meet ugly" during a series of fun and charming misadventures across the city. Yes, I hated this rom-com premise entirely on principle, but it quickly won me over. Of course, it's easy to get fucked when everyone has a six-pack.

The People Upstairs (2020)

AKA: Sentimental

A couple who can barely mask their contempt for one another invite their amorous upstairs neighbors for dinner, stirring a host of rising resentments buried just beneath the surface. It's a comedy of manners revealed through a contentious meeting of wits as they gradually grow to know each other and speak their piece. It's fascinating in a slow burn kind of way because it's so relatable, and you're merely waiting for the other shoe to drop. There's some masterful acting on display; both the subtleties and the words left unspoken.

The Invite (2026)

A married couple hosts a tense dinner party for their disruptive upstairs neighbors while navigating their own tumultuous relationship. Essentially a four-person play taking place entirely within an apartment setting, featuring three very attractive leads, plus Seth Rogen is also there for some reason. It explores all the frustrations and insecurities that come rising to the surface in a fractured marriage fraught with anger and anxiety, as well as the intriguing proposition that could possibly bring them back together. This is actually the 7th international remake of the original Spanish film, The People Upstairs.

I Want Your Sex (2026)

A lucky son of a bitch gets the opportunity of a lifetime to be the object of Olivia Wilde's sexual degradation. I'm not sure why male fantasies always have to be depicted so tragically. Of course, we have the dead fish girlfriend, the hot best friend who he never sees as a romantic option, but the woman he wants the most is emotionally unavailable and exploits him to fulfill her own perverted power trip. Where's the harm in that? Anyway, it's a "sexy" comedy that only hits the mark half the time, and had me rolling my eyes for the rest.

Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass (2026)

After catching her fiancé schtupping his "celebrity free pass," the bride-to-be decides to get revenge by pursuing her own hall pass in actor Jon Hamm, who she attempts to track down in Hollyweird with the help of her best friend, an ex-talent agent, a down-on-his-luck paparazzo, and a has-been actor. It's a ridiculously unsubtle comedy wrapped in an overtly Wizard of Oz framework with plenty of cameos to spare. It's so aggressively silly and pummels you with so many dumb jokes, you have no choice but to give in to the stupidity. While it's likable enough in all its dopey grandeur, it ultimately feels shallow.

Courtney Pauroso: Vanessa 5000 (2024)

I watch a lot of standup specials throughout the year, but they're hard to nut because spoken word comedy is so subjective. This is a distinct performance featuring an A.I. sex robot who offers a tech product demonstration, and it's a subversive experience that fucks with viewer expectations. While expressing a sexy and flexible persona, it ranges from clowning the crowd to becoming wildly unhinged in the last third. She's a unique character and I give Courtney Pauroso all the credit in the world for bringing her to life and giving her soul.

Stamptown (2026)

Zach Zucker's variety and cabaret show has been running for over a decade in international fringe festivals and is captured in this hour-long comedy special for Netflix. It reminds me a bit of The Goes Wrong Show, but with naughty bits added to it. I like it when it leans into absurdity and Eric André-like antics. The chaos and anarchy is the entire point of the format and it plays with audience expectations. I expect the shows are even more kinetic when witnessed in the crowd. I came away thinking it was a bit overrated, but enjoyed it all the same.

Spermageddon (2024)

How does this movie exist? It's an adult CG animated film aimed towards teens that feels like a companion piece to Sausage Party and plays out like Fantastic Voyage through the reproductive system. It's basically Inside Out for perverts.

Simen the semen is one of a billion sperm cells who worries about making it to the motherland or dying one of a thousand horrible deaths. But the nutsack is getting too crowded and someone's got to go. This is a concept I'm surprised took this long to make, yet I applaud the balls that it takes to make something so crass into cute animated musical form. Contains about a thousand cum puns, yet I couldn't get enough. I am not a prudish person in the least, but this one even had me clutching at my pearls by the disgusting places it goes. I'm glad to be taken out of my comfort zone. I doubt I'll ever see another film like it.

Fixed (2025)

After humping Nana's legs one too many times, an unruly mutt threatened with being neutered decides to run away from home in order to have one last great adventure while fully intact. I enjoy the traditional hand-drawn animation and the voice talent is strong, but that's about it. A lot of the humor is hit and miss and gets repetitive quickly, never feeling quite as transgressive as it should.

Strays (2023)

Raunchy R-rated comedies also extend to dogs, it seems. Reggie is a Border Terrier who has recently been abandoned by his abusive owner and left to fend to himself on the streets, where he meets a streetwise Boston Terrier named Bug who introduces him to a gaggle of other strays that convince him to swear revenge on his former owner. This movie is dirty and fun and doesn't aspire to be anything more than what's on the box, so it was right up my alley. If you're looking for dick and shit jokes en masse, you need stray no further.

Bottoms (2023)

A satirical "comedy" about two queer high school girls who start a feminist self-defense club in order to attract other girls. A lousy film that tries so hard to be edgy and cool like a female Fight Club, but winds up being obnoxious and largely forgettable. Obviously this movie wasn't intended for me, but it doesn't have to try so hard to be repugnant and appallingly bad for "shock" value. It's a shame because I've loved all the other raucous comedies that came out in the summer of 2023, but this one just landed with a thud for me.

Joy Ride (2023)

2023 enjoyed a brief return to raunchy comedies in movie theaters. This one involves two childhood best friends who travel to China on a business trip and wind up on a mission to uncover the identity of one of their birth parents. It's marketed as the Asian Hangover, which isn't far from the tone it sets, but also manages to be quite touching and emotionally satisfying, cheap jokes and all.

No Hard Feelings (2023)

A woman struggling to make ends meet takes a job from wealthy parents to "date" their introvert son in order to get him out of his shell and prepared for college. God, what a fucking fantasy this is for someone like me. Although it gets most of its mileage at the expense of ageist jokes, I don't see anything wrong with age discrepancy in a consensual relationship. It's a return to R-rated raunch and I appreciate seeing full frontal nudity in a comedy movie again. Good on JLaw for embracing her natural assets and having fun with it.
