THE LATEST: David Wain, the director of Wet Hot American Summer and Role Model, returns with the hilarious Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass. Critics are saying it’s a daffy odyssey through Los Angeles. Now in theaters!

Yo momma is so funny… she could be on our list of the best and newest comedies of 2026!

This year we’re in for a riot, with new movies from Boots Riley (I Love Boosters), David Wain (Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass), and Olivia Wilde (The Invite). We’re also getting the return of Ben Stiller’s awkward family of Fockers in Focker In-Law, the Minions wrecking havoc Cthulhu-style with Minions & Monsters, and Cindy running away from a very stoned Ghostface in Scary Movie.

We rank them by Tomatometer, but all of them are sure to make you piss your pants (from laughter, not because of that other thing). — Bryce Marrero
