Comedy can be tough to get right. What makes one person laugh might not work for someone else. But when a comedy hits the mark, it’s pure joy—a perfect escape that sticks with you. In 2024, comedies were hitting their stride, mixing sharp humor with creative storytelling and great acting to deliver laughs for everyone. This year’s lineup has something for everyone, from sharp satires to buddy adventures and action-packed comedies.
From the horror-comedy Lisa Frankestein to the hilarious dynamic duo Deadpool & Wolverine, 2024 was a great year for feel-good fun. 12 'Lisa Frankenstein' Directed by Zelda Williams Lisa Frankenstein puts a fun spin on Mary Shelley’s classic story. Set in 1989, it follows Lisa Swallows (Kathryn Newton), a goth teen struggling with her mother’s death and feeling out of place at school and home. Everything changes when a lightning strike brings a Victorian-era corpse (Cole Sprouse) back to life. Lisa, a talented seamstress, decides to rebuild him piece by piece - literally. What unfolds is a weirdly sweet zombie romance filled with humor, heart, and a touch of absurdity. Zelda Williams makes a bold debut as director, and Newton and Sprouse are charming as the unlikely couple. However, it is Carla Gugino that stands out as Lisa’s over-the-top stepmother, provoking Lisa in every way and adding a lot of spice to this comedy. With its ’80s vibe and a catchy soundtrack, Lisa Frankenstein is a fun tribute to retro horror comedies and proof that the monster rom-com needs to make a comeback.
