11 Must-Watch Comedy Movies on Netflix Right Now (July 2025)
Netflix just debuted Happy Gilmore 2 this month, right around the same time it's losing the original Happy Gilmore to a rival streamer. Bummer. Fortunately, Netflix is still the streaming home for older comedies like Ben Stiller's Zoolander. The sequel is on Netflix as well, but the original is better. Going back even further in time, The Blues Brothers is also back on Netflix for another guest stint. That film is a rare combination of comedy, musical and action. You can find these films and more among the Watch With Us team's picks for the must-watch movies on Netflix. Need more recommendations? Then check out the Great New Movies on Netflix, Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and More, the Best Movies on Amazon Prime Video Right Now, the Best Movies on Hulu Right Now and the Best Rom-Coms on Netflix Right Now.'Happy Gilmore 2' (2025) Released nearly 30 years after the original, Happy Gilmore 2 checks in on the titular character after he saved his grandmother's house and won the heart of Virginia Venit (Julie Bowen). Happy (Adam Sandler) and Virginia are now married with kids, with one daughter wanting to go to an expensive ballet school. Low on funds, Happy decides to do what he does best — golf and beating people up. Will that be enough to make his daughter's dreams come true? The sequel doubles down on everything that made the original such a sleeper hit to begin with: crude humor, a supporting cast full of great comedic actors Ben Stiller and Eric André and cameos from actual golf pros like Rory Mcllroy and John Daly. Those expecting Uncut Gems should look the other way as Happy Gilmore 2 is strictly for fans of Sandler's '90s era comedies like Billy Madison and The Waterboy. 'Zoolander' (2001) Ben Stiller's title character in Zoolander is one of the top male models in the world and a nuclear-grade moron. Derek Zoolander is at least smart enough to realize that his rival, Hansel McDonald (Owen Wilson), is stealing his thunder. But he has no idea how to turn his fortunes around. That leaves Zoolander vulnerable to a plot by Jacobim Mugatu (Will Ferrell) to turn him into an assassin. Journalist Matilda Jeffries (Christine Taylor) knows something is off with Mugatu, but Zoolander's arrogance may completely blind him to the truth. Zoolander is streaming on Netflix. 'The Blues Brothers' (1980) Dan Aykroyd and the late John Belushi were original cast members of Saturday Night Live, and the stars of the first real SNL spinoff movie, The Blues Brothers. "Joliet" Jake Blues (Belushi) reunites with his brother, Elwood (Aykroyd), after a stint in prison. After Jake and Elwood share a religious epiphany, they go "on a mission from God" to save the orphanage that raised them. Along the way, Jake's jilted ex-lover (Carrie Fisher) attempts to murder them. And she isn't the only one who wants them dead. Several music legends appear in cameo roles, including Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and James Brown. As you might expect, the film's music is incredible and the comedic action is still funny over four decades later. The Blues Brothers is streaming on Netflix. 'The Intern' (2015) Retirement doesn't suit Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) in The Intern, a workplace comedy/drama by director Nancy Meyers. Instead of staying at home during his golden years, Ben decides to go out for a senior internship position at a fashion company. Although Ben doesn't know much about fashion, he impresses CEO Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway) and makes a place for himself at her company. The friendship they develop also comes into play as Jules struggles to decide whether to put her family over her career. The Intern is streaming on Netflix. 'Trainwreck' (2015) Amy Schumer stars as an exaggerated version of herself in Trainwreck. Amy Townsend (Schumer) has never committed to anyone long-term on the advice of her father, Gordon (Colin Quinn). However, Amy has second thoughts about embracing her father's views on dating when she meets Aaron Conners (Bill Hader), a sports doctor to the stars. Things go so well with Aaron that Amy fears their inevitable breakup once he sees that she isn't a very good partner. Aaron really doesn't want to give up on Amy, but she makes it pretty hard for him to love her. Trainwreck is streaming on Netflix. 'Saturday Night' (2024) Nothing says "American mainstream comedy" like Saturday Night Live. But when the series first hit the airwaves, it was a counterculture experiment that everyone expected to flop. This film from Jason Reitman (Juno, Thank You For Smoking) tells the story of that first fateful show, when (played here by Gabriel LaBelle of The Fabelmans) managed to push through a successful 90 minutes of live comedy sketches on NBC. The show would go on to change the face of American entertainment, but it wasn't an easy journey to get there. Just like the original cast of SNL, the cast of Saturday Night is populated mostly by newcomers, but their impressions of comedy legends like John Belushi (Matt Wood), Gilda Radner (Ella Hunt) and Chevy Chase (Cory Michael Smith) are impeccable and entertaining. The story is told in real time, 90 minutes before the start of the show, and the tension is palpable — but that's what makes it all so funny. 'Don't Look Up' (2021) The earth is being threatened by an extremely dangerous natural phenomenon that mankind could, theoretically, stop. Yet somehow, it seems like no one in power is doing anything about it. This is the premise of Don't Look Up, a climate change allegory from Anchorman director Adam McKay. and Jennifer Lawrence play Dr. Randall Mindy and Kate Dibiasky, two astronomers who discover a cataclysmic, "planet-killer" comet hurtling towards Earth. They try to sound the alarm, only to find that getting the government to take action to protect its citizens is shockingly difficult. The cast of Don't Look Up is a laundry list of A-listers, from Meryl Streep as a clueless president to Timothée Chalamet as a young shoplifter who befriends Kate. As the crisis nears, Dr. Mindy becomes a celebrity while Dibiasky becomes a target for hate and derision. The more people talk about the comet, the further they seem to get away from doing anything about it. The whole story feels simultaneously fantastical, funny, and all too real. 'One of Them Days' (2025) Keke Palmer and SZA bring back the buddy comedy in a big way in this hilarious "day in the life" adventure flick. Dreux (Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA) are best friends and roommates, despite their very different outlooks on life. (Dreux is organized and type-A, while Alyssa is a free-spirited dreamer.) But their friendship is tested when Alyssa's boyfriend steals their rent money on the day that it's due. In danger of being evicted, the girls come up with ever-escalating schemes to raise the money in less than 12 hours. Palmer is as spectacular as ever, and SZA brings surprising depth to her first-ever onscreen role. Their chemistry as besties is totally believable and entertaining. The supporting cast is full of fun cameos from stars like Katt Williams and Abbott Elementary's Janelle James. You'll root for Alyssa and Dreux the moment you meet them, and you'll laugh your way to the finish line of their desperate quest for that rent money. Don't miss this roller coaster of a comedy! 'Do Revenge' (2022) (Riverdale) and Maya Hawke (Stranger Things) star in this dark comedy about two high school girls who team up to "do each other's revenge" — in other words, each girl will take down the other girl's sworn enemy. This hyper-stylized gumball of a movie is subversive and nasty, but it hides some intelligent commentary about grudges and female anger at its center. Do Revenge feels like a tribute to '80s and '90s teen comedies like Heathers and Cruel Intentions (Sarah Michelle Gellar, who starred in that film, even appears as the Headmaster at the protagonists' private school), but it has a distinctly 2020s aesthetic and philosophy. It's a sharp satire whose many twists will leave you gasping from shock in between laughs. 'Baby Mama' (2008) Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have become an iconic duo due to their collaborations on SNL, Mean Girls, and co-hosting the Golden Globes. Baby Mama is one of the few films they've actually starred in together, though, and their chemistry elevates it to comedy greatness. Fey stars as Kate, a driven businesswoman who decides in her late thirties that she wants to have a baby but finds she is unlikely to have success with IVF. Poehler plays Angie, an immature slacker who agrees to become a surrogate for Kate's baby. When Angie breaks up with her shiftless boyfriend (Dax Shepard), she ends up moving in with Kate. Despite their clashing personalities, the two women end up helping each other grow — Kate learns to loosen up and be more nurturing, while Angie learns to be more responsible. Watching these two brilliant comedians go through childbirth classes and other parenting milestones together is reliably hilarious. If you're a parent or on your way to becoming one, this movie is a must-see. But if you've ever had a best friend who drives you insane (and who hasn't?) you'll find something to relate to here too. 'Set It Up' (2018) Have you ever had a boss completely take over your life? That's the situation for Harper (Zoey Deutch) and Charlie (Glen Powell), who are assistants to extremely demanding executives. Harper works for Kirsten (Lucy Liu), a sharp-tempered sports journalist who demands perfection from her staff. Charlie works for Rick (Taye Diggs), a businessman with severe anger management issues. Realizing their bosses need a distraction so they can regain control of their own lives, Harper and Charlie manipulate Rick and Kirsten into falling in love. 'When they're boning, we're free!,' says Harper. Of course, the two assistants end up falling in love along the way. Set It Up hearkens back to when big-budget rom-coms were commonplace and successful. Deutch and Powell have irrepressible chemistry together, and the situations they manufacture for their bosses are absurd in a way that feels endearing. It's a perfect 'watch on your couch with pizza' movie.

Who Is Vikram Chatwal, Priya Sachdev's First Husband Before She Married The Late Sunjay Kapur?
In 2006, Vikram married actress and investment banker Priya Sachdev in a high-profile wedding. The couple welcomed a daughter, Safira, the same year. As Sunjay Kapur's sudden demise ignites a Rs 30,000 crore inheritance battle, one name that keeps resurfacing is Vikram Chatwal, the ex-husband of Sunjay's third wife, Priya Sachdev. While the family tussle over Kapur's vast business empire has captivated headlines, Chatwal's past relationship with Priya and his own controversial life make him an intriguing figure. Here's everything to know about the flamboyant businessman once called the 'playboy hotelier." Early Life and Education Born on November 1, 1971, in Ethiopia, Vikram Chatwal is the son of Indian-American hotel magnate Sant Singh Chatwal. He grew up in New York and graduated from the prestigious Wharton School of Business in 1993. He began his career as an investment banker at Morgan Stanley but soon ventured into more glamorous industries including modelling, acting, and eventually hospitality. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vikram Chatwal (@vikramdoc) Modelling, Acting and Hollywood Cameos Vikram briefly worked as a model and became the first Sikh man to be featured in Vogue magazine. His dapper looks also landed him minor roles in films like Zoolander and Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd. Though he didn't pursue acting full-time, he remained a staple in social circles across New York, London and Mumbai. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vikram Chatwal (@vikramdoc) Marriage to Priya Sachdev and Divorce In 2006, Vikram married actress and investment banker Priya Sachdev in a high-profile wedding. The couple welcomed a daughter, Safira, the same year. However, Vikram's substance abuse issues and wild lifestyle led to two stints in rehab. By 2011, Priya divorced him. She later married Sunjay Kapur in 2017. Sunjay adopted Safira, and she now goes by the surname Kapur. Scandals and Legal Troubles Vikram Chatwal's lifestyle caught up with him. In 2013, he was arrested at Fort Lauderdale airport for drug possession. A year later, his father Sant Chatwal pleaded guilty to illegal campaign contributions. In 2016, Vikram faced public outrage after being charged with setting two dogs on fire. He later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to community service. Hotel Empire and Comeback Despite his turbulent past, Vikram has managed a remarkable comeback in hospitality. He founded Vikram Chatwal Hotels and owns several luxury properties, including the iconic Dream New York hotel, which underwent a Rs 166 crore ($20 million) renovation in 2015. His brand has since expanded to Miami, Bangkok and India, known for stylish décor and celebrity clientele. Ties To The Kapur Succession Battle In the current Kapur family dispute, Vikram's name has resurfaced due to the legal status of his daughter Safira. If Sunjay Kapur legally adopted her, she loses any right to inherit from Vikram's estate. Meanwhile, Priya Sachdev and Safira have both dropped 'Chatwal" from their names.

Who Is Vikram Chatwal, The Man Priya Sachdev Was Married To Before Sunjay Kapur
Sunjay Kapur's sudden death has triggered a bitter succession battle over his massive Rs 30,000 crore empire. In one of India's most complex business family disputes in recent years, his third wife Priya Sachdev, heirs from different marriages, adopted children, and mother Rani Kapur are all vying for control and inheritance in Sunjay's will. While Sunjay had three biological children: two with his ex-wife Karisma Kapoor - Samaira (20) and Kiaan (14); and a son, Azarius (6), with Priya; he also adopted Priya's daughter, Safira, from her previous marriage to businessman Vikram Chatwal. To strengthen their claim to Sunjay's inheritance, both Priya Sachdev and Safira have changed their surnames. Priya now goes by Priya Sunjay Kapur, while Safira apparently dropped Chatwal from her name and now uses Safira Kapur. If legally adopted by Sunjay, she would no longer be entitled to inherit from her biological father, Vikram Chatwal. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vikram Chatwal (@vikramdoc) Amid this high-profile succession battle, Vikram Chatwal's name has often popped up in the Kapur family drama. Known for his charismatic persona and high-society connections, Vikram's life is a fascinating tale of luxury, scandals and high-stakes relationships. With recent developments surrounding Priya Sachdev and the Kapur family, here's a look at the intriguing world of Vikram Chatwal. Who is Vikram Chatwal? Born on November 1, 1971, in Ethiopia, Vikram Chatwal is an American hotelier and actor. He graduated from the Wharton School of Business in 1993 and briefly worked for Morgan Stanley. Vikram also worked as an actor and movie producer, landing roles in films such as Zoolander and Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd. He was also a model, becoming the first Sikh model to appear on Vogue magazine. In 1999, Vikram joined his family's business and opened the Time Hotel. He went on to open five other independent luxury hotels under the company, Vikram Chatwal Hotels. The Wild Years At the beginning of his career, Vikram was often referred to as a " playboy" due to his wild lifestyle and the social circle he hung out with. He sped about in his Aston Martin and partied with Sean "Diddy" Combs on his boat. The businessman also dated supermodels like Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen. Marriage to Priya Sachdev To curb his party-boy temper, Vikram's father, Sant Chatwal, arranged his wedding to New Delhi actress and former investment banker, Priya Sachdev. The couple got married in 2006 and had a baby girl, Safira, that same year. Within five years of marriage, Vikram entered rehab twice for alcohol addiction. Finally, when his substance abuse got out of hand, Priya divorced Vikram in 2011. Priya later married businessman Sunjay Kapur in 2017, after a five-year courtship. Romantic escapades After his divorce with Priya Sachdev, Vikram Chatwal's love life became a topic of fascination for many. He was linked to several high-profile celebrities, including Lindsay Lohan and Kim Kardashian, although none of these relationships were confirmed. Most recently, he was reportedly spotted with lingerie model Angela Lindvall, sparking rumours of a new romance. The Fall of Vikram Chatwal Vikram's life took a downward turn in 2013 when he was arrested at Fort Lauderdale airport in Florida, US, for possession of an illegal substance while boarding a flight. While the charges were dropped at the time, things worsened in 2014 when his father, Sant Chatwal, was arrested by the FBI for making illegal campaign contributions and pleaded guilty. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vikram Chatwal (@vikramdoc) In 2016, Vikram faced another controversy when he was arrested for setting two dogs on fire, leading to charges of animal torture and reckless endangerment. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to community service. Resurgence As A Hotelier After navigating personal and professional turmoil, Vikram Chatwal made a remarkable comeback as a successful hotelier. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vikram Chatwal (@vikramdoc) With a renewed focus on his business ventures, he established himself as a prominent figure in the hospitality industry. In 2015, he completed the $20 million renovation of his Dream New York hotel. Over the years, Vikram expanded the Chatwal brand to include additional properties in Manhattan, Miami, Bangkok and India. His hotels are renowned for their luxurious amenities, impeccable design and exceptional service.

Kristin Davis reveals ‘Melrose Place' co-star wouldn't speak to her on set during filming
Kristin Davis revealed that one of her 'Melrose Place' co-stars gave her the cold shoulder during the time they worked together on the hit '90s prime-time soap drama. During a recent appearance on 'Hey Dude… The '90s Called!' podcast, the 60-year-old actress recalled that she 'felt like I won the lottery' when she landed the role of the villainous Brooke Armstrong in the third season of 'Melrose Place' from 1995 to 1996. However, the 'Sex and the City' star told hosts Christine Taylor and David Lascher 'there was never a moment of feeling confident' on the set of the Aaron Spelling-created series, and one cast member in particular was not very friendly to her. 'There were just so many, so many people [on set],' Davis said. 'And I felt and I have obviously seen all these people since then, and so many of them are so lovely. But at the time … it was competitive.' 'I had my friends within, like Marcia Cross and I were were close, which was wonderful,' she continued. 'But there was one, you know, she wouldn't speak to me. Like, she wouldn't speak to me. 'I never had scenes with her, so it wasn't an issue. But I say, like, 'Good morning,' [and she wouldn't respond].' Taylor noted she also had similar experiences with co-stars, especially during that 'period of time' in which she recalled actors were wary of 'anybody who could potentially threaten your job.' 4 Kristin Davis appeared as a guest on the 'Hey Dude… The '90s Called!' podcast. Hey Dude… The 90s Called! / YouTube 'We've all been on sets where we've had that experience where it was like, 'Oh, I don't think that they love that I'm here, but I'm only here for like a guest star [role] or whatever, right?'' she said. The 'Zoolander' star continued, 'And sometimes they weren't the nicest on certain sets and other times wonderful, but I feel like it was a period of time. And then, I guarantee you now, 30 years out of it everyone looks back and is like, 'Oh my God, what an idiot I was.'' Davis explained she had 'seen this person,' who she did not name, since that time. 'She's very nice to me now,' Davis said. 'And sometimes I'm like, 'Does she remember that she was being not that nice to me?'' 4 Davis did not identify the person who allegedly wouldn't speak to her on set. Hey Dude… The 90s Called! / YouTube Davis said she took the opposite approach when she starred on 'Sex and the City,' describing herself as the 'welcoming committee' when new actors joined the cast or made guest appearances. 'I tried to get out there quick and be like, 'Hi,' because I remember that horrible feeling,' Davis recalled. 'It was scary.' Despite her negative experience with one co-star, Davis shared that it was 'amazing' to be part of 'Melrose Place,' though she was disappointed that her stint on the show was short. 'Melrose was intimidating in, you know, so many ways, obviously,' Davis said. 'I mean, I grew up … watching all the 'Dallas' and 'Dynasty' and blah blah blah.' 4 Season 4 of 'Melrose Place' aired from 1995 to 1996. ©Paramount/Courtesy Everett Collection 'So, it meant a lot to me to be on there,' she added. 'Obviously, it was just a job also. Like, at a certain point, you're like, 'I have won the lottery. Like, I have a job. I cannot believe it.' 'You know, it's amazing, right, from a young actor perspective,' she added. 'And, I mean, as far as I know, I was gonna stay there. Like, I didn't know that I was only gonna be one season, which I believe was 32 episodes, which is insane to think about now.' Davis' character was killed off in the episode 'Devil in a Wet Dress' after she drowned in the Melrose Place pool after falling and hitting her head. During a February interview with People magazine, Davis revealed that she beat Hilary Swank for the role of Brooke in 'Melrose Place.' 'It was Hilary Swank, myself and a girl named Meredith,' Davis recalled of the final auditions for the part. Davis told the outlet she had been worried about her 'very, very long hair' at the time since the other actresses on the show had shorter hair. She recalled that she considered cutting her hair but decided against it. 4 Davis attends the 'And Just Like That ' season three photocall in Paris on May 29, 2025. Getty Images 'I remember going in, and it was just the three of us, and everyone was very nice,' Davis recalled. 'It wasn't one of those, like, scary rooms, and then you go in one at a time.. 'And I remember Hilary came out, and she seemed so young, and she had kind of shorter hair and kind of sporty. And I was like, 'Uh-oh,'' she continued. 'And then Meredith had longer hair also. I was like, 'Oh, good.'' Davis recalled that she and Meredith comforted Swank, who told them, 'I totally blew it,' after leaving the audition room. 'Obviously, she goes on to win two Oscars,' Davis said of Swank with a laugh. 'She did fine. She did fine.'
