Nominees: Ted, 21 Jump Street, Jeff Who Lives at Home, Five Year Engagement
My favorite kind of movie is one that can make me laugh. Every year there seems to be a couple that really stick out, but in 2012, it was hard to narrow it down to just 4 nominees, let alone pick one. But there is one clear cut choice. But we'll get to that.
You've already seen Ted on the top 10 movies of the year, so it has some high consideration already, but it's not the funniest movie of the year for us.
Jeff Who Lives at Home is a sleeper pick, a movie most people probably missed, but a movie with a great cast, a good story and of course, laughs. I enjoy an underdog story, but we don't have one here.
Another Jason Segal movie, Five Year Engagement Plan is also nominated, and while I love Segal (and Emily Blunt), it still didn't pack as many laughs as 21 Jump Street did.

WINNER:
21 JUMP STREET
21 JUMP STREET
No one really expected much from this movie, which made it so much easier to love. Besides the fact that skinny Jonah Hill is funny and Channing Tatum in a role where he isn't the sole focus, it's just a silly comedy with a known name attached to it that worked. I saw the movie 3 times in theater, many times on TV and DVD, it's great. I can take even more happiness away knowing there's a sequel coming!
