By Lauara Scudder

ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO: Rent is over due and Zack and Miri, roommates and good friends, really need to find an answer to their money problems. Their solution? Easy, make a dirty movie. Obviously this situation makes for a fun movie.

In 2008 Tinsel Town produced three hundred plus movies. Of these 350 + movies, about seventy will be categorized as comedies. Here are a few of the better comedies that you should see.

HAMLET 2: Dana Marshz, formerly a small time actor, has moved on to teaching the high school theater classes to students who just don't care. When they lose a building at the campus, the powers to be feel the theater curriculum will be what is dropped. Now fully motivated, he is on a mission to save the theater classes by producing Hamlet 2, a new version of the classic, which is his own work.

FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL: Overwhelmed with grief after a devastating break-up, Peter decides to escape his relationship. He heads to the Hawaiian Islands to start over and forget about Sarah. Obviously, when he arrives at his hotel, he looks up and sees the woman who just left him and her new man, a rock star super stud. This sets up as a thoughtful romantic comedy.

GET SMART: Maxwell Smart (agent 86) is at it again, "and loving it". The classic James Bond spy spoof, gadgets galore, and all the great one liners. It is fun to have another glimpse back at the world of KAOS and CONTROL.

PINEAPPLE EXPRESS: Full time stoner Dale Denton has just seen a bad police officer, and a big time dealer, kill someone. He was spotted, and they know he has seen what's gone down. Realizing this, he is so shaken he throws down his joint, a rare blend named pineapple express, and he flees. The pot is so unique, that the bad guys can. The "fun" is ?on?, and Dale and his pot dealer friend Saul are desperately hiding from the bad guys.

ROLE MODELS: Danny (Paul Rudd) and Wheeler (William Scott), who sell energy drinks, are going to see some hard jail time because they binged, and trashed the company truck. The option to get out of going to prison is to perform 150 hours of community service. The problem is they will need to mentor troubled kids as sort of a big brother. The pieces are all in place for this to be very funny.

MADAGASCAR: ESCAPE 2 AFRICA: As the title suggests, this is the sequel to the animated smash hit Madagascar. The four animal heroes, Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, and Gloria the Hippo want to return to the Central Park Zoo in NY, from their first adventure. With things going wrong again, with the Penguins leading them astray, they will wind up going to Africa instead.

TROPIC THUNDER: Filled with great actors the genre of the film is a classic parody of popular war films. To recover from a lost cause, and to get his spoiled actors to see the movie be a success, the seemingly bold director into the wild, leaving them to fend for themselves. He hopes to overwhelm them into producing a war classic, which hidden cameras will capture. Incredibly, because the director walks over a land mine and is blown apart, the crew is left on its own, and they are convinced everything is just an act, when things start to get very real. A Great cast with incredible make-up for Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise.

STEP BROTHERS: When two 40 year olds, who both live at home with one parent, find themselves having to live in the same bedroom because their mom and dad get married, you have one crazy situation. Having the combination of Reilly and Ferrell as the key players, and this seems to be a great recipe for a funny movie. This comedy looks like a must see for comedy lovers.
