15 Funniest Comedies Of The Last Decade
15. Seven Psychopaths (2012)
Throughout the last decade, we've come to learn that if there's one thing Martin and John Michael McDonagh are good at doing, it's making dark, yet extremely funny comedies. Some of them will be on this list later on, but let's start with Martin McDonagh's offbeat crime caper, Seven Psychopaths.
Starring Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken and Woody Harrelson, this is certainly one of the stranger comedies to be made in the decade. Farrell plays Marty, a down on his luck writer, who is struggling to complete his screenplay, Seven Psychopaths. When Marty's criminal best friend gets himself involved himself in an unexpected situation, the film quickly goes down a rabbit hole of gun-toting gangsters, vengeful quakers, raspy voiced serial killers and kidnapped dogs.
McDonagh does a brilliant job of linking all the plots together to make a cohesive and extremely enjoyable film. Like a lot of great comedies, Seven Psychopaths is about a group of idiots who're very much in over their heads and it's thoroughly enjoyable watching the characters react to each situation they're put in.
However, it sets itself apart from others with the brilliant casting and the level of sarcastic humour on show. Out of McDonagh's four movies, this one doesn't quite get the love it deserves, but it definitely should.
