How can a movie pairing together Awkwafina and Sandra Oh as odd-couple sisters be anything less than funny? In this 2023 Jessica Yu-directed comedy, Awkwafina plays the straight-faced foil (that is, Anne Yum, a tightly wound game show obsessive) to Oh’s chaotic and free-spirited older sis, Jenny.<\/p>\n

The estranged siblings are forced together when Anne’s dog, Mr. Linguini, gets kidnapped by a loan shark who demands that the women pay off the $80,000 debt of their mother, who has not only escaped from her nursing home but fled the country full stop. To get the money, Jenny decides to enter her trivia-loving sis in the game show Can’t Stop the Quiz in the hopes of winning it all. Hijinks unsurprisingly ensue.<\/p>\n

Written and directed by Tracie Laymon, this 2024 dramedy was inspired by a real-life incident in the filmmaker’s life, where she accidentally messaged a stranger on Facebook<\/a> who shared a name with her father, and was pleasantly surprised to receive some warm, dad-like advice from the man. Such is the premise of this sweet flick, which stars “Euphoria” alum Barbie Ferreira as lonely live-in aid Lily Trevino and John Leguizamo as Bob Trevino, the Facebook friend with whom she makes an unexpectedly healing connection.<\/p>\n

Jerrod Carmichael is a regular font of hilarity both onscreen and onstage, but for his directorial debut, 2021’s “On the Count of Three,” the comic goes deeper and darker. Carmichael plays Val, who makes a suicide pact with his lifelong best friend Kevin (Christopher Abbott) and decides to spend their last day together settling scores.<\/p>\n

What to read next<\/p>\n

Admittedly, the premise doesn’t sound all that joke-y, but the pair of lads \u2014 along with a supporting cast that includes Tiffany Haddish, J. B. Smoove, Lavell Crawford, and Henry Winkler \u2014 manage to balance out the seriousness of the subject matter with some morbidly laugh-out-loud misadventures.<\/p>\n

“It’s occasionally uneven, but ‘On the Count of Three’ finds director\/star Jerrod Carmichael attempting an ambitious blend of drama and dark comedy\u2014and often succeeding,” praises the critical consensus over on Rotten Tomatoes, where the comedy has a solid 85% approval rating.<\/p>\n
