Ten Ultimate Kids Comedy Feature Films

This is a list of top ten ultimate kids (Children's) comedy feature films. Directing children in a movie is not exactly the easiest job in the world. It takes a whole lot of effort from director to make the child or children to understand about the story and their roles. But when it comes to comedy films it's a lot easier to bring out the best in a child or children. Because I believe that kids are more comfortable doing comedy than emotional part. These movies are neither based on high school plot nor top rated all time best films but they are very enjoyable, childish, relaxing, refreshing, family entertainer and sheer delight watch kids perform so amazingly.

1. The Goonies (1985)

  ***Feel Good, Great Fun And Classic Adventure***

"Elgin Perkins : Is your mommy here?

Brandon Walsh : No, sir. Actually, she's out at the market buying Pampers for all us kids."

"Andy : I can't tell... if it's an "A sharp" or if it's a "B flat"!

Mikey : Heh, if you hit the wrong note, we'll all "B flat!"

"The Goonies" is a film about a group of boys, Mikey Walsh (Sean Astin), Lawrence 'Chunk' Cohen (Jeff Cohen), Clark 'Mouth' Devereaux (Corey Feldman), Richard 'Data' Wang (Jonathan Ke Quan), who go on an adventure to find hidden treasure. The boys are followed by Mickey's brother Brand (Josh Brolin), Stef (Martha Plimpton) and Andy (Kerri Green). Through their adventure they meet twisting passages and outrageous booby-traps.

The acting is fabulous. This film jump started the careers of Sean Astin and Josh Brolin. The three bad guys were evil enough. The kids are likable. The music and the special effects are good, not the best. Spielberg came up with a great idea and Richard Donner directed a good movie. It's a must-see for anyone who enjoys a good comedy adventure.

2. Home Alone (1990)

***Smart, Intelligent And 100% Entertainment Guaranteed***

"Kevin McCallister: This is my house, I have to defend it."

"Kevin McCallister: I took a shower washing every body part with actual soap; including all my major crevices; including in between my toes and in my belly button, which I never did before but sort of enjoyed. I washed my hair with adult formula shampoo and used cream rinse for that just-washed shine. I can't seem to find my toothbrush, so I'll pick one up when I go out today. Other than that, I'm in good shape. "

"Home Alone" plays on the scary scenario every kid fears at some point in their life. Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) is forgotten at home in Chicago when his family rushes off to the airport for their trip to Paris. Soon after, Kevin is visited by home invaders Marv (Daniel Stern) and Harry (Joe Pesci) and it's up to him to stop them.

"Home Alone" is a pretty charming little family comedy that does have quite a bit of heart to go along with all of the farce and slapstick. This material is indeed pretty funny, with Pesci and Stern playing their slow witted lowlife criminals for all that they're worth; some of their facial expressions and reactions are just hysterical. The music is very well Done and the setting really give you the feel of a true Christmas classic. If you haven't watched this film yet then definitely check it out. 

3. Little Nicholas (2009)

***Refreshing And Delightfully Entertaining***

"If there is one certainty in life, it's that nothing is so perfect, it can't ruined by a girl"

"Little Nicholas", the boy Nicolas (Maxime Godart) does not know what he wants to be when he grows up since he is very happy with his mother (Valérie Lemercier), his father (Kad Merad) and his schoolmates. Nicolas partially overhears the conversation of his parents about a dinner party for his father's boss and he misunderstands, believing that his mother is pregnant and his parents want to get rid of him. Nicolas tells his friends and they decide to hire a gangster to vanish with the baby, But they need to raise the money first.

This is a very entertaining movie. Loved the opening credits were very creative. Kids looked adorably innocent when they are discussing about grave issues, which are actually mostly imaginary. Good background music too.Well crafted by creative minds, and great story.

4. Heavy Weights (1995)

***Very Funny, Warmhearted And Heavy Weights***

"Tony Perkis: Attention campers. Lunch has been cancelled due to lack of hustle. Deal with it."

"Tony: Congratulations. You've just joined the 76 percent of Americans who forget to stretch before physical activity."

"Heavy Weights" story tells about a group of boys sent to a fat camp for the summer are in for a rude awakening. Though fearful of what kind of physical rigor he might expect from 'fat camp' Gerry, somewhat of the main character here, he is surprised to find that it is mostly fun and games in the summer sun. But when the owners of the paradise (played by husband and wife, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara) sell the camp to psycho fitness fanatic, Tony Perkis (Ben Stiller) , life at 'fat camp' becomes pure hell for the boys.

This is a great, light-hearted family film. Ben Stiller gives an incredibly funny performance as Tony Perkis, an aspiring informercial guru. The scenes where he takes the campers on a 20-mile hike are priceless! His response to the campers pleading to just have some fun is brilliant. Highly recommendable for anybody wanting to watch a pure comedy and/or Stiller fans. 

5. Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010)

***Enjoyable And A Great Comedy Film For All Ages***

"Rodrick Heffley: You never sign up for anything at school. You fly below the radar! That way you never raise anybody's expectations."

"Angie Steadman: You know, I like your point of view. You should sign up for the school paper. We are the voice of the people. Well, the people are mostly idiots so technically speaking we're the voice of the people making fun of the people.

Greg Heffley: Thanks, but I can't be on the paper because I'm going to be in the paper a lot. It would be a conflict of interest.

Angie Steadman: You're the people. Got it."

"Diary of a Wimpy Kid" film focuses on Greg Heffley, an average kid who is just starting middle school. His best friend is Rowley, a wimpier kid who is interested in "Sesame Street" more than girls (as quoted by Jeff Kinney). For some reason, Rowley is becoming more popular than Greg. As he is battling a stubborn girl that brings to mind Rachel Berry, his older brother, and a piece of cheese, he must battle himself and learn to accept Rowley.

The characters were all really great, and you can really connect with Greg as everyone has gone through the hell hole known as school. So it has great resonance with all ages.

6. The Parent Trap (1998)

***Really Amusing And A Good Family Film***

"Hallie Annie: You wanna know the *real* difference between us?' 'Let me see... I know how to fence and you don't... Or I have class and you don't. Take your pick."

Hallie Parker (Lindsay Lohan) is an American girl who lives with her father in a viniculture farm in California and never met her mother. Annie James (Lindsay Lohan) is an English girl who lives with her mother in London and never met her father. One day, in a summer camp, they are introduced to each other and they find they are twins. They decide to switch places to have a chance to meet their mother and father.

Young star Lindsay Lohan shines in her breakout role while Richardson and Quaid have great chemistry despite limited time on screen.Overall,it this light comedy is sweetly timed, the direction smart and assured, and the visuals bright, colorful, unobtrusive and faultless.

7. The Little Rascals (1994)

***A Very Cute And Childish Comedy Movie You Will Ever See***

"The Rascals: We are he-man woman haters/ We feed girls to alligators/ Our clubhouse burned down mighty low/ But we've got a plan to make some dough! "

"Stymie: I... Stymie... Member in good standing of the He-Man Woman Haters Club... Do solemnly swear to be a he-man and hate women and not play with them or talk to them unless I have to. And especially: never fall in love, and if I do may I die slowly and painfully and suffer for hours - or until I scream bloody murder. "

"Loyalty is very essential to the members of the He-Man Woman Haters club." Little Alfalfa (Bug Hall) is in a group of girl-hating little boys, and they find out about his upcoming romantic date with Darla (Brittany Ashton Holmes), and they sabotage him. Meanwhile a new rich kid Waldo (Blake Ewing) has just moved in and Darla finds him quite appealing, so Alfalfa is down in the dumps. Hopefully the up-coming go-cart race is a chance for Alfalfa to get his lady back, in addition to beat Waldo, and bond with his child pal Spunky (Travis Tedford).

The best aspect is the humor. The jokes are a combination of hilarious and over-the-top at the same time. It's not the greatest movie I've seen, but still a hilarious comedy and is easily underrated. If you want to see a movie that has reminded you of your childhood life, check this one out and watch it again and again forever. 

8. Cheaper by the Dozen (2003)

***Hilarious And A Good Family Comedy Drama For All***

"Tom: You were checking me out, weren't you?

Kate: Yes, I was. You got a problem with that?

Tom: Twelve kids later and we still got the heat.

Kate: Whoo! "

"Lorraine: Are you sure we're going to fit in here, dad?"

In "Cheaper by the Dozen", Tom (Steve Martin) and Kate Baker (Bonnie Hunt) have a Baker's dozen--children, that is. When Tom, a football coach, gets a job offer to coach a college football team just outside of Chicago, and Kate's book about raising 12 children finally gets a publishing offer, they see bright things for their future. The only problem is that their 12 children do not want to move from their rural Illinois home, and things become nearly disastrous when Kate has to leave for a couple weeks to promote her book.

"Cheaper by the Dozen" is a great movie and is a good laugh for everyone who sees it. I think that any family that has trouble getting along who see this movie will definitely realize that there are other families out there with way more problems.

9. Daddy Day Care (2003)

***An Amusing And Heartwarming Murphy Movie***

"Mrs. Gwyneth Harridan: Rock for Daddy Day Care... Do you know what this means?

Jenny: A... chance to prove ourselves in a little healthy competition?

Mrs. Gwyneth Harridan: No, you bubble-headed idiot. It's a deathwish."

"Daddy Day Care" is an Eddie Murphy movie about a man and his friend who are fired from their cereal-making jobs after making a putrid cereal. So, they decide to open up a daycare to support their families. The daycare steadily grows, so this worries their competition, Miss Harridan. So, she calls the childcare officer twice, and both times they slide out. But, the third time he tells them that they need to get a bigger building.

Eddie Murphy's charisma and humor serve him perfectly here. He's not too over the top, but not too restrained either. It's light, it's easy-going and just a nice family movie for the parents and the kids of all ages to just sit down and enjoy. Give it a break, it really is quite cute.

10. Problem Child (1990)

***A Decent Childhood Comedy Film***

"Little Ben Healy: We've adopted Satan!"

"Martin Beck: I drove over a thousand miles, to hang out with a seven year old.

Junior: I'm going to be eight in two weeks.

Martin Beck: Don't count on it. "

 
Junior is an orphan. Abandoned by his parents, he did the rounds at various homes, never staying at one place for too long because he never fit in, or rather- he was as one character says- 'wicked'. Junior finds himself at a Convent school where he soon starts trouble. The Administrator, Peabody sees that the Nuns want to get rid of him, and when he hears that a husband and wife who can't have kids are looking for a child to adopt, he cons them into taking Junior with them.

For all round laughs they do not come much better, and every kid should see this. When you grow up though, don't hate it just because it seems childish and amateurish, love it as it should be loved.
