9. The Hangover. It's not that the movie doesn't have its laughs... it's just that the beginning sucks, the ending lacks any final over-the-top joke, and the editing leaves in way too many unfunny moments.
8. Zombieland. This film comes out today and everybody already thinks it's gonna be the funniest thing since Janet's nipple slip. Unfortunately, audiences will be in for a huge surprise when they find out that the character arcs revolve around product placement and painfully transparent motives.
7. Role Models. Seann William Scott and Bobb'e Thompson were amazing, but Paul Rudd's performance is a serious dud. Sadly, the movie largely focuses on Rudd's character, and the best of this film is overshadowed by the worst.
6. Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. Conceptually, this could have been one of the greatest comedy films in American history. Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle is certainly one of the best comedies of this decade. However, this sequel lacks the intelligence and timing of the first film.
5. Be Kind Rewind. Is this even a comedy movie? It felt more like a filmmaking tragedy. While the poorly-coined "Sweeding" is a fantastic concept, the film fails to capitalize on its own genius and, instead, falls flat.
4. Grandma's Boy. Aside from a brief Rob Schneider cameo and a great masturbation joke, there is nothing funny in this film whatsoever. I walked out of the theater with only 20 minutes left to go.
3. Forgetting Sarah Marshall. While I appreciate puppets and sex jokes, I like them even more when they actually make me laugh. The premise is decent, but the execution needs more gusto.
2. Knocked Up. Sucks. I walked out of the theater after the first 25 minutes and asked for my money back. They refused, but offered me another ticket. Hostel 2 was pretty good.
1. Dan in Real Life. Why? WHY??? To me, this film is the epitome of "this movie stole two hours of my life and I want them back." Aside from the low lows of the egregiously horrid Dane Cook performance, everything else in this movie is completely blah and painfully unfunny.

Why the Top 9? Because 10 is too many and 9 is better. 3 X 3 = Awesome. Now that’s what I call math.
Perhaps Nick. Perhaps. But I laughed my ass off for 7, 5, 4, and 3 and I think Knocked Up should have gotten the #1 spot. That movie was the most unfunny thing I have ever seen. Harold and Kumar 2 could move WAY up the list too.
I haven't seen Dan in Real Life, but I agree that Knocked Up deserves the top spot.
DON'T see dan in real life

fucking hated be kind rewind. ugh. except for melonie diaz.
I concur re: diaz - but why am I the only person who liked that movie? Perhaps I really do have shitty taste in movies...
I totally agree with you on "Knocked Up." That movie was way too heavy to be a comedy. Not to mention a guy like him could never hook up with a blonde like that.
Here's my take on some similarly overrated movies...
