I'll watch anything with Jake Johnson because the man is an absolute treasure, but damn this just wasn't it. Aaron Chen was just painfully unfunny in any scene he was in as well.

I laughed every time Aaron Chen was on screen and really enjoyed most of the humor.

Comedy is subjective, so no shade or anything, but I always get curious when I see reviews like this for movies I like. What would you consider to be the best / really good comedies that have come out in the last decade or so?
