18. Hubie Halloween

HAPPY MADISON PRODUCTIONS / Album / Alamy

While the majority of Adam Sandler’s Netflix originals are “fine” at best and “unwatchable” at worst, Hubie Halloween was a brief return-to-form for the comedy superstar, sharing more DNA with his character-driven early work than his brainless, laugh-free later films.

Samara Weaving and Eugenio Derbez play off one another fantastically in this witty and somewhat subversive romantic comedy about a valet (Derbez) who is accidentally photographed with a popular actress (Weaving) and her married lover (Max Greenfield), the latter of whom spins the situation to make the paparazzi believe the former two are an unlikely new couple.

7. Fire Island

Jax Media / Searchlight Pictures / Album / Alamy

Featuring SNL’s Bowen Yang, Loot’s Joel Kim Booster, and How to Get Away with Murder’s Conrad Ricamora, this retelling of Pride and Prejudice surrounding gay vacationers on Long Island’s Fire Island community is among the more entertaining and unconventional Jane Austen adaptations in recent memory.

6. Pee-wee’s Big Holiday

It had been far too long since Pee-wee Herman brought his antics to the silver screen, and thanks to his trademark silliness, a very game cast (including an exceptional Joe Manganiello as himself), and a commitment to remaining tonally similar to the Pee-wee films of yesteryear, this reboot is nothing short of fantastic.

5. Palm Springs

This drop-dead funny time loop comedy could have coasted on the charms of its leads, Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti, but the film goes above and beyond to enter refreshingly unexpected territory within the time-honored plot device.

4. One Cut of the Dead

Few comedies play their hand as expertly as One Cut of the Dead, which pulls a 180 degree turn halfway through the movie that’ll have you laughing (and maybe even cheering) until the end credits roll.

3. Always Be My Maybe

Netflix / Album / Alamy

Directed by Nahnatchka Khan, the executive producer of Fresh Off the Boat, this fun and clever comedy starring the undeniably magnetic duo of Ali Wong and Randall Park circumvents the expectations of familiar rom-com mechanisms, especially once an against-type Keanu Reeves appears in the film as a fictionalized, hostile version of himself.

2. Little Monsters

Hulu / Neon / Moviestore Collection Ltd. / Alamy

This 2019 zombie comedy about a warm-hearted kindergarten teacher (Lupita Nyong’o), a deadbeat musician (Alexander England), and a self-important children’s television personality (Josh Gad) who are forced to come together to protect children when an outbreak of the undead occurs during a field trip.
