Comedy was king in 2009. Moviegoers all but ignored dramas and instead turned to comedies for their entertainment. What film made you laugh in 2009 and why?

Black Dynamite?

Where in the hell is the movie Black Dynamite on this list? It's the funniest movie not just of 2009, but arguably ever made.

Couples Retreat

These are good ones, but I think Couples Retreat should be in there. That was a funny movie to me.

well...Hangover

This year didn't get so many good films but yea...Hangover. But the best comedy ever is Get Smart.

Zombieland was hilarious!

Zombieland is probably one of the best comedies I've seen in my life! The crude humor and the gory zombie kills is a classic fusion :)

Zombieland was OK but...

I only thought that Zombieland was OK. The Hangover was stinkin' hilarious though. I am a big fan of zombie/comedy movies but Zombieland is a distant second from Shaun of the Dead.

Observe and Report

It's really surprising to me that Observe and Report is lumped into the same category with "The Proposal." O&R is a dramatic comedy about a deeply psychotic character. "The Proposal" is a rom-com.

Tie Between Zombieland and Hangover

I found Zombieland and Hangover my favorite comedies of the year! Both were different and very funny and can't wait for the DVD's.

Zombieland Ruled

I couldn't stop laughing at Zombieland! I was totally surprised by how funny killing zombies could be.
