That which is not subject to censorship, in which there are no “below the belt” jokes and scenes of cruelty, which is understandable and accessible to both children and adults, and which can be laughed at heartily. It is such film products worthy to be called family comedies.
If everyone is funny
Probably, even many Chaplino silent masterpieces can bear this proud name and be included in the list of good family comedies. Of course, no, no, and bright sadness erupts, but our life is a striped thing, and you won’t smile all the time either. Touching eccentric tapes by Leonid Gaidai are another undoubted candidate for including them in the list of comedies for family viewing. Everything is decent and chaste there, fights, if any, are breathtakingly funny. But can even an old man or a child be indifferent to a tiny mouse - another victim of chloroform while staging a robbery of a warehouse by the great Gaidaev’s trinity in Operation Y? And this picture, and the “Caucasian Captive” (the unconditional leader of the 1967 rental), and the “Diamond Arm”, and the story of the move of Ivan the Terrible to the twentieth century, are all the best comedies of all times and peoples, from small to large.
Overseas Masters
If we talk about American film production, which is already inscribed in gold letters at the box office and the sea of fans on the list of good family comedies, then this, of course, is "Home Alone" (almost 500 million dollars for 29 weeks of rental, which for that time was 1991 - was a record sum) and a sequel to the tape. Success was ensured not only by the dizzying inventions of ways to prevent the thieves from invading an empty house, as it seemed to them, but also by the unconditional charm of Macaulay Culkin (it is a pity that his “star disease” overcame his talent at the time of growing up). The robbers performed by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern were also charming , they are sometimes even pitiful, such a bad rival got a difficult opponent! The Beethoven movie, which was released a year after the triumphal march on the screens of One Home, is also on the list. Emotion by the giant St. Bernard and his faithful little masters cost the audience 147 million dollars (this is the result of the rental). The sequel and triquel has the picture "Who would say" 1989 year. The love story of a lonely mother and a charming taxi driver could not help but touch, all the more played by their reckless Kirsty Ellie and darling John Travolta. And the “adult” voice of Bruce Willis, who voiced the main character’s baby, made more than one generation of Americans laugh. From the comedies of recent years, viewers fell in love with Mr. Popper Penguins with the inimitable Jim Carrey.
When the characters are animated
Undoubtedly, the list of good family comedies should also include incredible distribution and won the love of millions of full-length animated films. Children are happy to follow the development of the fairy tale plot, and their parents find parody references to more adult films and enjoy the musical accompaniment of the action, often also very modern. Such cartoons include all the parts about the adventures of the green ogre Shrek and his fiancée Fiona, “spun off” from the “Puss in Boots” franchise, voiced by languid Banderas, the adventures of the characters of all parts of the “Ice Age” and “Madagascar”, the picture “How to Train Your Dragon” , the earlier "Lion King." They have a place for humor and the triumph of goodness - after all, any film work included in the list of good family comedies is simply obliged to have a happy ending! And the absolutely fresh animated "The Krudds Family" and "Despicable Me 2" family comedies-2013 (the list of the best, in particular) will also be sure to decorate. They are both kind and funny.
