Role Models

The 2000s are now a thing of the past. But let’s remember the best of them with the greatest 2000s comedies of all time.

35. Bruce Almighty (2003)

34. Idiocracy (2006)

Idiocracy

Since its 2006 release, Idiocracy has enjoyed a rather dubious legacy as a movie predictive of society and politics. From director Mike Judge, Idiocracy follows an Army librarian (Luke Wilson) who undergoes suspended animation and wakes up 500 years into the future. However, the future is anything but a utopia as Wilson re-enters a world dumbed down due to unchecked capitalism, poor infrastructure, and other societal ills. Idiocracy enjoys an unfortunate legacy, its name is mentioned anytime a politician says something ridiculous.

33. Miss Congeniality (2000)

Miss Congeniality

She’s got beauty, she’s got grace – and she’s got a license to uphold the law. Sandra Bullock stars in this hilarious comedy as Gracie Hart, a tough-as-nails FBI agent who gets a glamorous makeover to go undercover as a contestant in a national beauty pageant. Along for the ride is Michael Caine as her pageant mentor, who teaches Bullock to charm and glide her way to the crown and prevent a terrorist plot. Part romantic comedy (Benjamin Bratt plays her coworker and love interest), part ugly duckling narrative in the style of My Fair Lady and She’s All That, Miss Congeniality hits just right, like April 25th.

32. Knocked Up (2007)

Knocked Up

After Judd Apatow changed the vibe of studio comedies with The 40-Year-Old Virgin, the comedy auteur did it again with the help of Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl. Two strangers – a slacker (Rogen) and an ambitious entertainment journalist (Heigl) – deal with sudden parenthood after their one-night stand leads to pregnancy. Featuring more of Apatow’s popular plain-spoken comedy style and an appealing central message of accidents becoming fate, Knocked Up is a real gut-buster.

31. EuroTrip (2004)

EuroTrip

Shh… Scotty doesn’t know! In this raunchy vacation comedy, Scott Mechlowicz stars as a recently dumped high school grad who spends his summer backpacking in Europe to hook up with his hot German pen pal. Along the way, Scotty and his friends get into all kinds of hijinks, from getting robbed in Berlin to desecrating Vatican City. Between its earworm of a song in “Scotty Doesn’t Know” – with Matt Damon, of all people, in a glorious cameo as a dirtbag punk rocker – and a filthy sense of humor, EuroTrip is truly a first-class adventure.

30. Rush Hour 2 (2001)

(Image credit: New Line Cinema)

Rush Hour 2

In 1998, Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan teamed up and starred in Rush Hour, one of the greatest buddy action-comedies of all time. In 2001, the bilingual boys did it again and delivered a banger in Rush Hour 2. This time, the unlikely cops hit up Chan’s home turf of Hong Kong where they get involved in a case involving triads gangs, counterfeit currencies, and bombs at the U.S. embassy. One of the rare sequels that is more explosive than the original, Rush Hour 2 is a politically incorrect good time.

28. The Devil Wears Prada (2005)

The Devil Wears Prada

Based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel (written from her own experience as an assistant to fashion legend Anna Wintour), The Devil Wears Prada stars Anne Hathaway as an aspiring journalist who lands a job as an assistant to Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) of Runway Magazine. While Hathaway’s character Andy is a poor fit at first and suffers under Miranda’s brutal treatment, she learns to adapt in a cutthroat environment. While The Devil Wears Prada has a steely resolution of mutual respect, Hathaway and Streep keep the movie from falling to threads.

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball. In Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Vince Vaughn competes against a comically over-the-top (and gloriously mustached) Ben Stiller as they dodge, dip, duck, dive, and dodge big red balls. The two men play rival gym owners who compete in professional dodgeball competition, with Vaughn’s group rising from zeroes to heroes. From director Rawson Marshall Thurber, Dodgeball affectionately spoofs sports classics while giving its own spin on the genre. It has a lasting legacy in ESPN 8: The Ocho, a real cable channel for obscure sports that airs annually on April Fools' Day.

Wet Hot American Summer

On the last day of a Maine summer camp in 1981, the overly hormonal counselors try to settle their final scores before the sun sets. Featuring an all-star ensemble including Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Elizabeth Banks, Christopher Meloni, Paul Rudd, Michael Ian Black, and even Bradley Cooper in his movie debut, Wet Hot American Summer is a sun-drenched satire of nostalgic teen and sex comedies of the ’80s and ’90s that cements its own R-rated legacy. While the movie bombed at the box office, its cult following throughout the 2000s led to a short-lived Netflix revival.

17. The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

(Image credit: Touchstone Pictures)

The Royal Tenenbaums

Following his breakout movies Bottle Rocket and Rushmore, Wes Anderson attained auteur status with his celebrated comedy-drama The Royal Tenenbaums. Billed as being based on a novel (which doesn’t exist), The Royal Tenenbaums chronicles the unfulfilled potential of the Tenenbaums, a family of prodigies who wind up as disappointments in their adulthood. While The Royal Tenenbaums grapples with heavy themes like abandonment, expectations, and the pains of old wounds, the movie exhibits Anderson’s signature sensibilities that made him a creative force in the years to come.

16. Role Models (2008)

(Image credit: Universal Pictures)

Role Models

Floundering in their job hawking poisonous energy drinks to kids, irresponsible friends Danny (Paul Rudd) and Wheeler (Seann William Scott) wind up legally forced to perform community service mentoring troubled kids; Bobb’e J. Thompson and Christopher Mintz-Plasse co-star as the young boys in question. While Danny and Wheeler struggle at first to bond with their assigned kids, they later grow into deeply involved guardians. They even end up on the epic battlefields of a fantasy LARP to prove it. Filled with quotable zingers, Role Models is indeed a picture-perfect comedy to learn from.

15. Legally Blonde (2001)

14. Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004)

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle

After a night on the couch leads to the munchies, John Cho and Kal Penn – playing best friends Harold and Kumar – hit the road for some juicy White Castle burgers. But a quick ride through New Jersey suddenly becomes the adventure of a lifetime when Harold and Kumar get sidetracked and encounter all kinds of outlandish obstacles, from freaky mechanics to obnoxious skaters to runaway cheetahs to even Neil Patrick Harris. In an era when Hollywood comedies were predominantly the domain for straight white guys, Harold and Kumar introduced a whole new shade to bromances.

13. School of Rock (2003)

School of Rock

All hail the God of Rock! In School of Rock from director Richard Linklater, down-on-his-luck guitarist Dewey (Jack Black) becomes a substitute teacher and forms a rock band with his students to win a Battle of the Bands competition. Through the awesome power of music, Dewey becomes the teacher these prep school students actually needed as Dewey sees their singular talent and passions when no one else would. Heartwarming as it is hilarious, School of Rock totally shreds.

10. Wedding Crashers (2004)

Wedding Crashers

Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn show what it means to really score in Wedding Crashers, a mega-hit comedy from 2005. John (Wilson) and Jeremy (Vaughn) are best friends who have mastered the art of crashing weddings to hook up with single women. But John and Jeremy are forced to change their ways when John actually falls in love with a bridesmaid (Rachel McAdams); their attempts to keep up their ruse soon spiral out of control. With its even balance of raunchy and sweet, along with an enchanting McAdams as the lead love interest, it’s no surprise that Wedding Crashers became the first-ever R-rated comedy to gross over $200 million at the American box office.

9. Hot Fuzz (2007)

Hot Fuzz

In his third feature film, British director Edgar Wright blows up American action movies with his epic cop comedy Hot Fuzz. A razor-sharp London cop, Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is promoted and transferred to a quiet English village where almost nothing happens. But amid a series of murders and deaths, Angel teams up with buffoonish constable and action movie obsessive Danny (Nick Frost) to restore law and order. In its clever juxtaposition of bombastic Hollywood-style action with small-town English living, Hot Fuzz really booms as a sublime genre spoof.

8. The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)

(Image credit: Universal Pictures)

The 40-Year-Old Virgin

When 40-year-old electronics store salesman Andy (Steve Carell) is revealed to be a virgin, his work buddies try their hardest to get him some overdue action. Although mishaps and misunderstandings keep shy Andy from finally surrendering his V-card, opportunity arises when he meets and falls in love with attractive single mother Trish (Catherine Keener). A game-changing movie that set a whole new tone for studio comedies to come, The 40-Year-Old Virgin is as foul as it is sincere, a film loaded with rude zingers that come from a place of love.

7. Mean Girls (2004)

(Image credit: Paramount Pictures)

Mean Girls

Fetch may still never happen, but Mean Girls is truly forever. Released in 2004 from director Mark Waters and writer Tina Fey (who has a supporting role), Mean Girls follows naive teenager Cady (Lindsay Lohan) who transfers to a suburban American high school after being homeschooled abroad. As Cady befriends two other outcasts (Daniel Franzese and Lizzy Caplan), she draws the heat of ruthless rich girl Regina George (Rachel McAdams) who oversees a clique known as “The Plastics.” A touchstone for multiple generations, Mean Girls succeeds on the strengths of its cast and its searing script that confronts high school drama with honesty.

6. Meet the Parents (2000)

Meet the Parents

5. Little Miss Sunshine

Little Miss Sunshine

An indie comedy classic, Little Miss Sunshine charts the comical cross-country road trip of a dysfunctional family as they pack into a Volkswagen Microbus for their daughter’s beauty pageant. Across many setbacks and heartbreak, the family grows closer than they ever have been. Unlike other major hit comedies, Little Miss Sunshine veers away from raunchiness and rambunctiousness for something more earnest and sincere; its subsequent success proves that audiences were eager to go along for the ride.

4. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005)

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang

In this underrated crime classic from writer/director Shane Black, Robert Downey Jr. plays a petty thief who accidentally lands the role in a Hollywood crime project. Downey’s character is tasked with shadowing a private eye (Val Kilmer) while he gets caught up in a real murder mystery that happens to involve an old childhood crush (Michelle Monaghan). Set in the seedy underworld that exists beneath glamorous Los Angeles, Shane Black’s genre homage toys with mystery detective tropes while delivering something totally fresh and new.

2. Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

Napoleon Dynamite

Perfectly capturing the new zeitgeist of new millennium malaise, the indie smash Napoleon Dynamite follows an awkward teenager (Jon Heder) in small-town Idaho who takes it upon himself to get his new friend, quiet Pedro (Efren Ramirez) elected as class president. From Jared and Jerusha Hess, Napoleon Dynamite remains renowned for its hilarious portrait of small-town America and a sense of humor found only on the margins. An idiosyncratic classic, Napoleon Dynamite signaled a vibe shift in American comedies to come.
