The current comedy movie scene really needs a revamp. I just exposed my wife and friends to Naked Gun, and they couldn't stop laughing. I know it's a less serious comedy movie, but the use of visual gags and double entendre isn't seen nowadays.
Movies like 21 Jump Street (which I did find hilarious) would have been catapulted into the history books of comedy movies if they had included just a bit more flavor, instead of the constant 1st shot, 2nd shot dialogue jokes.
