these comedies might not get the last
laugh hey everyone I'm Rebecca and
welcome to watchmojo.com comedy movies
that might suck in 2020 what is he doing
looks like the wedding at the end of
Shrek that means we're looking at films
that are meant to be funny and are set
to be released in 2020 whose premises
previews or production issues have us
seriously worried about their quality
alright let's check it out number 10
free guy release date July 3rd 2020 free
guy we'll see Ryan Reynolds playing a
goofy character named guy after guy
realizes he's living in the fictional
world of a video game he bounces between
action set-pieces while cracking plenty
of jokes this what recreational drugs
feel like if this setup sounds familiar
then you've probably seen Deadpool the
free guy trailer doubles down on the
Deadpool comparisons by emphasizing its
over-the-top violence in black comedy
although we love Reynolds r-rated
antihero we don't want to see him do the
same type of movie again and again he's
just resting
hopefully this film's premise ends up
being really solid and the marketing
department is just playing up Reynolds
marvelous past success to sell tickets
but if it's only trying to imitate
Deadpool this comedy may find itself 6
feet underground with audiences is that
a Glock in your pocket know what it's -
box number 9 hooking up release date
March 20th 2020 have you been waiting
for a comedy that tackles both sex
addiction and testicular cancer well
you're weirdly specific wait is finally
over
who's me sir I think you're mistaken
okay testicular cancer my junk is being
sent to the nether rooms
man do you at the wrong room whoops in
hooking up Starla's sex addiction gets
her fired from her reporting job after
meeting a testicular cancer patient
named Bailey she formulates a plan to
win her job back Darla will relive her
past hookup experiences with Bailey and
write an article about it you want to
revisit all your past wrongs with me for
my therapy are you supposed to not be
having sex you could have one last raw
I don't even know you you might have
been willing to look past the trailers
bizarre premise if it wasn't for one
minor detail Darla tells Bailey the risk
a road trip is therapy for her addiction
a movie where someone with psychological
issues uses and lies to a cancer patient
sounds more like a sadistic drama than a
comedy where are we
it's my parents house welcome number
eight the witch's release date October
9th 2020 author Roald Dahl's The Witches
is a dark children's novel about the
titular group of witches who cause
trouble for those people who aren't like
them such as turning children into mice
although the 1990 movie adaptation
received solid reviews it was a
box-office bomb that Dahl himself
disapproved of little boys love snakes
thirty years later director Robert
Zemeckis is set to remake the witches
with Anne Hathaway in the lead role but
those big names are another cause for
concern Hathaways last attempt at comedy
gave us the critically panned the hustle
no thanks I recommend meanwhile Robert
Zemeckis his last film welcome to Marwan
managed to squander a good premise and a
fantastic lead actor women of Marwan are
the women who guard the village and they
have gathered at the bar and they
haven't seen Holly in a while has anyone
seen hoagie between the witch's troubled
history with audiences and the recent
failures of its main creatives this
remake may already be cursed by yeah
number seven the king of Staten Island
release date June 19 2010 Island hates
me is because I represent what they are
you know a mentally ill community
college dropout
we got a game of Thrones tattoo before
watching the show
Pete Davidson is set to star in a comedy
with a surprisingly dramatic premise in
the king of Staten Island Davidson will
play a young man who has trouble moving
forward in life due to the trauma of
losing his father at a young age the
film will take inspiration from the
comedian's real-life struggles with
losing his father in 9/11 my dad he died
9/11 I was told they had to explain that
before I do these jokes because some
people don't know to which I reported
that I don't think I should say that
because it will just stop the show and
make things awkward while the sobering
and personal storyline promises
compelling drama we're unsure if it
should be marketed as a comedy and kid I
was like 7 when my dad died so like kids
don't understand that [ __ ] they don't
they don't know what's going on right so
I remember I got the pool and kids at
school be like yo you're so lucky man
you're rich you have a pool you know
like yeah what could we I have a pool
that I fill up with tears everything
it's serious premise could turn off
audience members looking for a
light-hearted flick but the more
important question is can they really
make a reportedly semi autobiographical
movie about Davidson processing grief
into a comedy it's made me something I
said in an interview once that I wished
that when Hurricane sandy hit Staten
Island it had finished the job
number 6 irresistible release date may
29th 2020 he an irresistible an
out-of-touch Democratic consultant tries
to get a veteran elected as the mayor of
a small right wing town I'm telling you
guys that could be the real deal
this little campaign of ours has caught
the attention of the National Republican
Party although the movie has the writing
and directing talents of Jon Stewart and
the mostly reliable comedic chops of
Steve Carell the trailer looks less than
promising Carl Jack Hastings is our key
back into the great now swing state
whose
he just doesn't know it yet the
political message is pushed so hard that
even the most liberal movie goers might
find it preachy there's also a gag about
harassment that feels extremely outdated
in 2020 it's good to see you yeah you
look fat and despite featuring no actors
of color with speaking lines the trailer
also goes for a lame joke about
appealing to minorities don't put all
the black ones in center he's right is a
moderate if this disappointing preview
is indicative of the full movie then we
will resist the urge to buy a ticket
number five minions the rise of GRU
release date July 3rd 2020 although
minions only received a 55 percent
rating on Rotten Tomatoes its
billion-dollar box office earnings
ensured we had not seen the last of the
babbling yellow menaces
[Music]
in July they'll return to help a young
GRU and press a supervillain group our
feeble hopes that this movie could make
the franchise feel fresh were
immediately dashed after being given a
preview of just a few minutes of it
the trailer is packed with an obnoxious
amount of slow-mo action scenes
selfish characters and dim-witted minion
hijinks the previous movies in the
franchise at least tried to present a
heartwarming message underneath the
comedy minions the rise of GRU looks
devoid of originality heart or any
laughs did you just trade my future for
a backdrop number four Peter Rabbit -
the runaway release date April 3rd 2020
do you realize those with a bunch of
sophisticates despite James Corden's
best efforts in the voice-over booth
his Peter Rabbit character was
criticized for being mean-spirited in
the first movie in one scene he pelts
his frenemy Thomas with blackberries
until he had an allergic reaction that
[Music]
should do it
unfortunately the sequels trailer
suggests the rabbit has not improved
much after Peter becomes worried that
Thomas will outgrow their friendship he
leads his fellow animals to steal from a
farmers market this sounds a bit dodgy I
would never put you in danger I promise
ok I can't promise we're gonna go and
rob this place you in are you out when
some of the creatures are captured by
animal control the rabbit has to save
them all even if we put aside the fact
that the trailer gives away the entire
plot scene here cause the movie's main
conflict is hard to ignore
we did a movie where Peter has a less
rotten personality number 3 the hit
man's wife's bodyguard
release date August 28 2020 the plot of
the hit man's bodyguard was pretty
simple
Sam Jackson plays a hit man who needs
the help of a bodyguard played by Ryan
Reynolds and hijinks ensue there's no
surprises hmm although Reynolds and
Jackson had some decent scenes together
underwhelming dialogue and awkward tone
ships between silly comedy and
hard-hitting drama held the movie back
despite only receiving a forty-three
percent on Rotten Tomatoes the films
getting an awkwardly titled sequel in
the hit man's wife's bodyguard Reynolds
bodyguard needs to protect the hit man's
well you get the idea
the premise behind the hit man's wife's
bodyguard sounds lazy and the first film
hasn't inspired a lot of confidence in
the franchise well we'd love to see
Reynolds and Jackson work together we
wish they'd pick a stronger concept
number two bad trip release date April
24th 2020 Eric Andre has become famous
for his weird and unpredictable brand of
comedy on his self-titled show when we
heard he'd be getting a movie we were
ready for something one-of-a-kind but
the trailers for bad trip presented a
strangely tired concept the movie
appears to be a series of hidden-camera
pranks tied together with a loose
roadtrip narrative while some of the
stunts look ambitious they still pale in
comparison to the average episode of
Jackass and the fact that the movie was
pushed back from last fall is another
bad sign as much as we'd love seeing
Eric Andre on the big screen we're not
sure if a hidden-camera comedy was the
best way for him to get there before we

originally slated for an August 2019
release STX Films pushed the release

the option

recording over a year after its trailer
started playing in theaters the
long-delayed my spy is arriving in March
the movie will see Dave Bautista playing
a no-nonsense CIA agent that has to
learn how to loosen up while protecting
a precocious child I want you to teach
me how to be a spy
just to be clear this is a one-time
arrangement never again Thank You boners
you've already seen a plot like this
done in everything from Kindergarten Cop
to the pacifier and audiences are bound
to find the jokes they've been forced to
see in trailers for over a year
outdated and scale in the final product
is it too late to dump my spy onto
Netflix when you look out there what do
you see any civilians minimal security
software meter smiling people having fun
they subscribe sometime actually think
that a lot of these might be decent well
maybe not a lot of them but some of them
uh you know what you should do in the
comments you should list them all and
with like a thumbs up or a thumbs down
if you think it's gonna be good and it's
like a pool so whoever wins wins
bragging rights I guess I don't know
we have no prize anyway so let us know
