Best Comedies of 2012: Featuring the new trailers "Good Deeds" and "Rock of the Ages"

78

By Stevennix2001

Introduction

Who doesn't love to laugh? In fact, did you know that allegedly laughing adds more minutes to your life? Wow, I guess that means we should start watching comedies way more often then, huh? Well, I got just the films listed for next year that are sure to tickle your funny bone until it hurts. Hell, you might even end up being freaking immortal by the time you watch all these comedies. Nyuk. Nyuk. Nyuk. I'm just kidding, but still...here's a few comedies that you might want to check out for next year anyway.

As I mentioned in my previous preview hubs, I've taken the liberty to categorize these previews this year unlike previous years; thus you might start to notice certain films that were in my earlier "Best Action and Adventure Films of 2012" to appear here as well, like "Men in Black III" for example. This is because some of these movies fall into multiple categories, so I can't assume that everyone that read my "Best Action and Adventure Films of 2012" will necessarily read this one as well, or vice versa.

Some of these movies won't have trailers, while others do. This is largely because some of these films have yet to release one, but I will be updating this hub until the end of the year, so be sure to check back for further details. And as always, be sure to check your local listings, as release dates are subject to change.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy reading.

the GI Joe trailer was meh to me. My screenwriting teach this semester told me he was one of the interns or something for 3 stooges. He says Will Sasso is great but the rest is kind of meh. Then again that guy also said he was a writer for Fight Club...and was not a writer for Fight Club

lol. Sounds like he likes to mess with his students. The next time he says he's written a screenplay for a movie, you should look it up on imdb to see if his name is on there as one of the writers. If it's not, then you should tell him just to see what he says. Granted, he might just say he writes under various aliases, but it would be funny to bring up to him I'll bet. lol. As for the GI Joe trailer, I can't comment, as I haven't seen it. However, it can't be any worse than the last movie, right?....right? lol

Anyway, thanks for stopping by again. :)

What an awesome hub you have compiled....I am bookmarking this hub for many future visits. I like that you included so many trailers. I thought the Three Stooges video looks horrible....I can only imagine how horrible it would have been with Sean Penn in the role. Ones that I am looking forward to..Parental Guidance....is the year of the return of Billy Crystal? this movie, the Oscars and Monsters University?

Also the Lorax and Madgascar 3 will be on our list as well....wow I was checking out more trailers and lost my train of thought....Pizza with Bullets looks pretty bad as well. Thanks for doing so much research to put this hub together...you are the man.

It could be, as it definitely seems that way from looking at things. Isn't Billy Crystal hosting the golden globe awards too? I think I read that somewhere, but I'm not sure. However, it should be interesting. Although, I just looked on imdb just now because I thought I got all the animated films for next year on this hub and the "best animated features of 2012" hub, but it says "Monsters University" won't be released until 2013. Oh well, i guess we'll just have to wait longer for it. Which is kind of a shame because i actually liked the first movie a lot.

Anyway, I'm glad you liked the hub, and thanks for stopping by again buddy. :)

lol. Sorry to hear that then, but hey you still passed, so that's all that matters. lol. I guess maybe next semester he'll either stop messing with his students by claiming to write screenplays for movies that he didn't, or he'll make it a rule to not carry lap tops into his class. lol.
