1. Meet The Parents (2000)

With Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Teri Polo

"Meet the parents" was conceived as a low-budget movie. The producer Nancy Tenenbaum noticed its enormous potential and took advantage. In fact, the main theme- meeting the future in-laws- is almost a classic. Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) is a gardener, loves cats and thinks that no man is good enough for his daughter. We'll discover later that he's actually a former CIA agent who places microphones and video cameras around the house.

2. Bruce Almighty (2003)

With Jim Carrey, Morgan Freeman, Jennifer Aniston

It's good to have the power of God; and if you don’t believe it, ask Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey), because he knows it very well. I'm talking about a guy who complains about God all the time and receives almighty powers.

3. Home alone (1990)

With Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern

"Home alone" is a classic comedy that must be seen every year for Christmas. I'm never tired of watching it! An eight year-old child is left alone at home and has to face some idiotic burglars.

4. A Night at the Museum (2006)

With Ben Stiller, Carla Gugino, Dick Van Dyke

"A Night at the Museum" is a remarkable comedy movie.  Larry Daley (Ben Stiller), a complete loser, manages to cheer us for about two hours, along with other characters: Attila the Hun, a frisky T. rex skeleton, President Teddy Roosevelt, Mayan and Roman gladiators.  The action takes places at the Museum of Natural History, where Larry works as a night watchman.

5. The Mask (1994)

With Jim Carrey, Peter Riegert, Peter Greene

It’s hard to forget about the mild-mannered bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss who becomes a manic superhero due to a mysterious ancient green wooden mask. We're talking about a typical loser who turns into an uncontrolled reflection of himself, conquering the dance floor.

6. Legally Blonde (2001)

With Reese Witherspoon, Luke Wilson, Selma Blair

Elle Woods is natural blonde whose favorite color is pink. She gets into Harvard and discovers that it's very hard to be a star on the East Coast, where her personal charm is not appreciated by the rigid world of law students.

7. Dumb and Dumber (1994)

With Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels, Lauren Holly

Harry and Lloyd are two friends who try to return a suitcase full of money to its owner, a beautiful woman named Marry Swanson. Unfortunately, these lovable friends are not smart at all...

8. Me, Myself and Irene (2000)

With Jim Carrey, Renée Zellweger, Anthony Anderson

The story of a nice guy cop who has a multiple personality disorder is also a classic. Charlie is single and has to take care of three children, while facing a series of misfortunes.

9. Wedding Crashers (2005)

With film Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Christopher Walken, Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher, Jane Seymour, Will Ferrell and Bradley Cooper

John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Grey (Vince Vaughn) are bachelors and best friends. Both are trying to meet women, "crashing" wedding parties.

10. Big Momma's House (2000)

With Martin Lawrence, Nia Long, Paul Giamatti

Martin Lawrence plays the role of a cop who takes the identity of an overweight old lady to solve a complicated case. Lawrence's burlesque style, the variety of strange characters and crazy situations made from this comedy movie a box office success.
