10 Serious Films That Would Have Made Better Comedies According to CBR

"Hollywood movies typically fall under a specific genre category, and it's not always the case that a film is given the best genre suit to the material. One of the most common mismatches is between serious films with concepts better suited to comedy, while others took themselves so seriously they became a meme. In either case, these movies would have worked much better had they been played up for jokes. Some movies do so poorly or come out so generic and mediocre that adding some laughs could have taken them from obscurity to notoriety. Comedy itself has a wide range, and could take the form of anything from a dark satirical comedy to a laugh-out-loud romp. Sometimes, all a movie needs is to feel like it doesn't take itself too seriously and let audiences enjoy the story." - cbr.com
