I think that the last comedy I've seen at the cinema was Meet the Parents, which I didn't really enjoy (too much humiliation humor for me).
I am not having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that you might be.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Depending on one's definition of comedy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall was probably mine. I think I only laughed during the Dracula puppet show after sitting stone-faced or wincing for 95 minutes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I laughed the whole way through.

The only comedies I can think of off the top of my head that I've enjoyed in recent years are Dick, Go, and Saved. I tend to prefer my comedy packaged with some drama (see Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Ghost World, and American Splendor).

I don't really think of Go as a comedy, even though it's pretty damn funny.

The older I get, the better I like comedies, actually. Or I have broadened my definition of comedies.
I have liked Shallow Hal,School of Rock,and Elf off the top of my head. I resited all of them, until my friend M made me watch, but then I loved them. I think they all have an underlying sweetness which I like.
Also, I have an absurdly large crush on Jack Black that dates back to High Fidelity.

I haven't seen Shallow Hal (though I want to at some point because a friend of mine was in it), but I loved School of Rock and Elf, neither of which I would have expected to love.

I REALLY didn't want to like Shallow Hal, as I am a fat person, and I really didn't want to watch Jack Black, who is fat himself, making fun of a fat woman. But it actually turned out to be quite sweet and not so much with the making fun of.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I adored 40-year-old Virgin, and laughed muchly.

I hated Shallow Hal, but I really love School of Rock.
