Some of these films might be up your ally. So cast aside your worries and anxieties for a few minutes and enjoy this 2017 summer comedy list we compiled with a little help from our friends over at The Numbers. They are accessible in a way that a lot of other moves simply aren't.

Comedies are those rare things that allow us to laugh and enjoy OURSELVES. Action films charge us up to experience cinema in a heightened way that most of us will never experience in real life. Horror films appeal to our sense of fear and the forbidden. They take us places that other films do not. However, comedies, at their best, go deeper than that. More to the point, sometimes it's just easier to put on a movie and not have to think about anything. What makes a movie really funny? Why does it seem like comedies are those movies that we keep going back to again and again? The answer may be in the fact that ultimately, as moviegoers, we just want to escape.

This doesn't even look at the cutting satire of comedies like War Machine, the screwball tinged The House, and the raw and visceral laughs in a movie like Girls Trip or Rough Night. There's tales of Cars trying to show their worth, a Rough Night that would test even Wonder Woman, and a film about the life of an emoji. Making the 2017 Summer comedies stand out is the eclectic nature of the releases. And what better way to do this than with all the 2017 comedy movies coming out this Summer? The theaters are going to be littered with laughs for people young and old, and this might be exactly what is needed. At time when we are at war in Syria and our relationship with world leaders could best be described as 'iffy,' it seems patently obvious that we all need a good laugh.
