3 best comedies on Netflix to watch this weekend — all with 90% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes
July is a big month for Netflix comedies with "Happy Gilmore 2" making it debut on July 25, almost 30 years after the original's release. (Bizarrely, Netflix is pulling the first "Happy Gilmore" from the platform just days later on July 30.) But if you're looking for laughs in the meantime and don't want to sift through Netflix's expansive catalogue, we've got you covered. Decision paralysis is real, and with so much to choose from across the best streaming services, narrowing down what to watch can become a real pain. That's why we regularly comb through the new and best movies on Netflix to help you skip the scrolling and get to streaming. The movies below are a mix of hilarious genre-bending comedies that have earned at least a 90% or higher critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes. Granted, a high score doesn't guarantee something's a hit, but it is a good indicator of universal acclaim — and, more importantly, many laughs to be found in these flicks. Here are the best three comedies on Netflix to watch this weekend. Enjoy a healthy dose of sci-fi and social commentary served up with your laughs? "They Cloned Tyrone" is an audacious mash-up that could've easily gone off the rails, but under the direction of Juel Taylor, co-writer of "Creed 2" and "Space Jam: A New Legacy," the film holds together remarkably well for a bold and seriously entertaining watch. At the heart of it all is a stellar trio: John Boyega, Teyonah Parris, and Jamie Foxx share electric chemistry, and their dynamic is one of the film's biggest strengths. After Fontaine (Boyega), a low-level drug dealer, is gunned down, he wakes up the next day as if nothing happened. To get to the bottom of things, he joins forces with fast-talking pimp Slick Charles (Foxx) and no-nonsense sex worker Yo-Yo (Parris). In the process, the unlikely trio uncovers a top-secret government cloning conspiracy threatening their community.

For a fresh twist on the classic buddy-comedy formula, I can't recommend "One of Them Days" enough. It's a wild and very funny ride, and if you can get on board with the more ridiculous parts of their adventure, there's a lot to enjoy here. Keke Palmer has always had a magnetic screen presence, and SZA manages to match her charisma and sharp comedic timing effortlessly. Together, they create a believable, dynamic duo of the blind leading the blind into increasingly bonkers situations. The movie follows down-on-their-luck best friends and roommates Dreux (Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA). After Alyssa's boyfriend runs off with their rent money, their landlord gives them until 6 p.m. to fork over the $1,500 they owe him or they're out on the street. Chaos ensues as they scramble to get a payday loan (despite hilarious warnings from Katt Williams' Lucky), accidentally piss off a gang leader, and stop at nothing to turn their fortunes around before it's too late. Watch it now on Netflix I went into "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" with next to zero knowledge about D&D, and expected all the jokes to fly over my head. Instead, I nearly busted my stitches from laughing so hard. Even if you've never rolled a D20 before (or don't have a clue what that is), if you enjoy an adventure that doesn't take itself too seriously, this is definitely one to add to your watchlist. It kicks off with charming bard Edgin (Chris Pine) and his tough-as-nails barbarian companion Holga (Michelle Rodriguez) cooling their heels in prison after a botched heist. After an unorthodox jailbreak (RIP Jarnathan), they assemble a ragtag crew — including insecure sorcerer Simon (Justice Smith) and the shape-shifting druid Doric (Sophia Lillis) — to go on a quest to save Edgin's daughter and retrieve a lost relic. Along the way, they also cross paths with Xenk (Regé-Jean Page), a noble paladin who's so absurdly overpowered that he becomes a walking punchline in the best way. Watch it now on Netflix

Be a hero, save a life
Society always believes that heroes wear capes, but have you ever thought about how the average person can change or even save someone's life? For Lee-Ann and Alyssa, there are no heroes in capes, but they are hoping an average person will step up as a stem cell donor to potentially save their lives. Here are their stories: Alyssa Alyssa Cas Aldworth is a bubbly 8-month-old who was diagnosed with MPS I. Trysten. Alyssa's father, explained that she had been diagnosed when she was about seven months old. The rare genetic disorder was linked to a mutation in the IDUA gene, which meant her body couldn't produce an enzyme needed to break down certain complex sugars, leading to a buildup in her system. This buildup affected multiple organs, and the condition was inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Both he and his wife Jade were carriers, giving Alyssa a 25% chance of being affected by the condition, a 50% chance of being a carrier, and a 25% chance of being unaffected altogether. Trysten said they discovered the diagnosis after a series of routine consultations with specialists. Alyssa had been born three weeks premature and spent ten days in the NICU due to complications with her heart and lungs. Because of her early health issues, they were seeing a range of specialists – a cardiologist, ENT, audiologist, and ophthalmologist – who began to notice some patterns. These led them to consult a geneticist, who then carried out a full assessment that included physical exams, urine tests, and blood work. The results confirmed the presence of high levels of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), pointing to MPS I. He recalled how, as first-time parents, they hadn't initially noticed anything unusual about Alyssa. To them, she was just their baby. But after the diagnosis, they started to see some of the characteristic physical features associated with the condition, like puffy cheeks, big earlobes, wide- or lower-set eyes, narrow nasal passages, and a high-arched palate. Internally, there were other complications. Alyssa had heart issues, including pulmonary stenosis, and breathing challenges linked to lung obstruction and corneal stenosis. She also experienced sleep apnea. Trysten mentioned that doctors had flagged potential future challenges, too, such as joint abnormalities, skeletal issues, and stunted growth. He said that even though they had braced themselves for the possibility of something serious, the confirmed diagnosis was still emotionally overwhelming. The first weekend after hearing the news was especially difficult. They had told close family, who responded with love and support, although many had questions that they didn't yet have answers to. Trysten shared that there were currently two main treatment paths. One was enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), which provides the missing enzyme but needs to be administered for life and comes with a high monthly cost of around R90 000. The other option is a hematopoietic stem cell transplant, commonly known as a bone marrow transplant, which offered better long-term outcomes but also came at a significant cost, between R500 000 and R1 million or more. He said Alyssa's heart condition, which had been a concern at birth, had improved, and her cardiologist was pleased with her progress. They were due for another check-up in July. Despite the emotional rollercoaster, Trysten expressed that he and Jade were taking things one day at a time, leaning on the support of their community and working closely with medical professionals to figure out the best way forward for Alyssa. Lee-Ann In June last year, Lee-Ann Scholtz (24) was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). 'When I heard the diagnosis, it felt like my world was crashing down. My first thought was my daughter—she's only six years old.' It all started when she experienced drastic weight loss, prompting her to visit a local doctor. Concerned about her health, she was referred to a hospital, where doctors ran several tests but couldn't determine the cause of her symptoms. The following day, she was transferred to another hospital, where further tests were conducted. There, doctors suspected cancer but weren't sure of the exact type. It wasn't until she was moved to yet another hospital that she finally received a confirmed diagnosis of leukemia. Accepting the reality of cancer was incredibly difficult for Lee-Ann. Her family was devastated, especially her grandmother, while her parents tried to stay strong for her. Before her diagnosis Lee-Ann was actively involved in a youth group at church. However, life has changed drastically. She no longer attends church as often and spends most of her time in the hospital. The hardest part? Being away from her daughter. 'My little girl recently started Grade One, and I couldn't attend her first day of school. That broke my heart.' Despite the challenges, Lee-Ann remains hopeful. She knows that this journey is one of the hardest people can face, but she chooses to keep her faith. 'I believe God never gives you a battle you cannot fight. I will overcome this.' *You can be a hero by getting yourself tested as a potential stem cell donor on July 25 at the Amphitheatre at North-West University between 08:00 – 15:00. You might just be the miracle Lee-Ann and Alyssa are praying for. At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!

'There's a way to get under his skin a little bit': Healy on England going hard at Gill
New Delhi: Australia women's team captain Alyssa Healy said England had successfully nailed a way to get under India skipper Shubman Gill's skin during their 22-run win at Lord's, adding that the hosts' won't let of any sign of weakness in the opposition's captain. Alyssa's words came in the light of Gill's confrontation with England opener Zak Crawley on the last over of day three's play. Gill lashed out at Crawley during a heated exchange, and even used a few explicit words in the heat of the moment. When Gill came out to bat in a chase of 193, England's players didn't hold back by chirping hugely around the right-handed batter, who never looked settled at the crease and made just six, as India were bowled out for 170. 'I read some stuff about when teams go hard at Gill, that it can rattle him a little bit. So if England have even got half a sniff of that, then that's exactly what's going to happen, knowing how successful he was in those first two Test matches. There's a way to get under his skin a little bit as the captain as well.' 'Teams generally go hard at the skipper. If you get the skipper cheaply, or get under their skin and rattle a few cages in that regard, then you feel like you're on your way. So if England even sniff a little bit of a weakness there, they'll ram that home, they'll go hard,' Alyssa said on Willow Talk Podcast episode on Wednesday. She also felt India could have fastened the proceedings if they were to have a crack at England's batters on day three. 'When you talk about the game itself, India can't blow up about Crawley doing that then. When India, right throughout the day before, had a drinks break every 15 minutes, there were drinks being run out.' 'At the end of the day, if you wanted a couple more overs at that England top order, he probably could have sped things up throughout the day,' she added. With India now 1-2 behind, Gill & Co will be aiming to bounce back in the fourth Test starting on July 23 at Old Trafford in Manchester.
