This week's Top 5... The biggest comedies EVER!
1. Night At The Museum (571 million dollars worldwide) Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson (that's them, over there) star alongside a who's who of comedy (Gervais, Williams, Rudd, Coogan) in this family caper that's officially the biggest comedy ever!
2. Home Alone (534 million) Like all great comedies, the premise is simple - a kid outwits the bad guys. But 'ickle Macauley Culkin's deadpan brilliance took the laughs to a whole other level.
3. Bruce Almighty (459 million) Sometimes we don't want sophistication. Sometimes we don't want wit. Sometimes we just want Jim Carrey mucking about. Bruce Almighty was one of those times.
4. Meet The Fockers (433 million) Personally I preferred its predecessor Meet The Parents but the one-upmanship between Stiller and 'Bobby' De Niro is still comedy gold.
5. Mrs Doubtfire (423 million) Men dressing up as women = always hilarious. Fact.

I then realised I had infact seen all of these at the cinema at some point....Reckon there are a couple of them that must have been really well marketed to make the money they did.
Interesting list James. Keep up the good work all of you lot as you do help my boring afternoons in the van pass with a bit more ease!
