New Releases on DVD - Top 5 Comedy New Movies of 2008,
By Lane Wright


Are you interested in comedy movies? Some are good, some not so good. But comedy is very subjective. Here are my picks for the top five animated movies of 2008 are as follows.

(1) Pineapple Express

Pineapple Express -- Starring Seth Rogen and Jame Franco. After a druggies accidentally witnesses a cop commit murder, he and his dealer must head out on the lam.

(2) Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Forgetting Sarah Marshall -- Starring Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, and Russell Brand. When Sarah dumps Peter he is devastated. In order to get over his heartache he plans a trip to Hawaii, only to find you can't run away from your problems.

(3) Zack and Miri Make a Porno

Zack and Miri Make a Porno -- Starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks. Zack and Miri are roommates who can't come up with the rent. They figure the best way they can make some extra money is to make a porn film.

(4) Tropic Thunder

Tropic Thunder -- Starring Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. In this film we encounter a group of demanding, self-absorbed actors who are dropped into the middle of the jungle instead of a cushy set in order to film the war movie they are starring in.

(5) Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist

Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist -- Nick can't get over the woman who just dumped him and Nora is being used by her boyfriend. Will a night of searching for their favorite band bring the two together?

The 2008 crop of comedy films was wonderful. Are you looking to add any of these movies to your collection? Are you upgrading from DVD to Blu-ray?
