What was the last highly rated theatrically released Adult comedy ?
For the past few years, it seems there have been a string of "it was ok, nothing amazing , won't rewatch" type of comedies
E.g. this year
Blockers
Life of the Party
i feel pretty
Game night
Super Troopers 2
last year
Daddys home 2
fist fight
bad moms
Chips
Snatched
etc etc
When was the last truly highly rated universally adult comedy ? and not a niche one liked by 100 people, one with over a hundred thousand imdb votes (ok make it 50000) and not a family comedy
For me, i can't recall a film which meets this criteria since the Hangover and that was 2009, 9 years ago

I haven't seen all of the ones you listed.
The ones I have seen were really funny IMO: Game Night and Bad Moms.
ST2, Cocksters, and Life of the Party are in my queue.

Daddy's Home 1 & 2 were both great and actually some of the few movies I've re-watched not once but several times and I'm the type of person that doesn't re-watch things almost ever. So much so that my 5 year old says when something is on TV that she knows I've seen before "Daddy I thought you don't watch anything you've already seen before".
Can't really think of an adult comedy I liked better than the first Daddy's Home since Grandma's Boy.

Sorry to Bother You was the first one that I’ve loved in years. Not a smash hit but it could be considered highly rated depending what metric you’re using.

Groucho is probably right. Before that, probably Spy.
I absolutely loved Sorry to Bother You though.
Also, Game Night was vastly superior to the others listed for this year.

I loved the Daddy's Home movies and bought them for my permanent Father's Day library.
Game Night was fun, but nothing special.
Wife and I tried to watch I Feel Pretty, and she said, "Turn it off, I'm done with it" about halfway through.

When I think ”adult comedy” I think of Annie Hall. Almost everything in this thread is pure shit.
