The 7 Best New Movies Coming to Hulu in August 2024

It is often said that comedy is harder than drama, as more humorous films require the audience to have a natural reaction to the material being presented to them on screen. While a dramatic film that doesn’t hit the right marks can still be appreciated for its effort, sitting through a bad comedy is simply an unpleasant experience that no one wants to have while they are at the theater. This makes it even more impressive when a comedic film is able to incorporate genuinely great performances.
