The problem with comedies

After watching/essentially hitting my face with a hammer over and over/writing a review of grown ups, I came to a conclusion about comedies.

Think back to every comedy movie you've ever seen. How many were good movies? I'm not saying funny, it's hard to screw that up, but how many would you actually watch again? Not many. That's because of one word, Messages.

In today's movie industry, for some reason, everyone writing a comedy movie thinks they need to somehow put a message in the film that will make everyone who watches it a better person. Well I have two points for you. One: Making movies is not a good way to make the world a better place, go join the peace corps so I never have to watch your movies again. Two: People don't go to comedy's to learn about how they should call up their estranged daughter, they go to laugh at fart and sex jokes!

My point is, with most comedies, they message seems to be something thy just injected into the plot with a syringe. Like grown ups, many of these painfully injected morals are inconsistent, one minuet, they are telling you to be honest with your spouse, next, they tell you to screw your romantic night out with her and hang with your buddies.

I'm going to name and explain three movies that got it right. The Hangover, because it had no message, this is what all comedies should be like, don't try and teach us anything, hurl the jokes at light speed. Next, Caddy Shack, It's message was consistent, Danny trying to figure out what to do with his life, it was funny, and the message didn't change in every scene as in Grown Ups. Finally, Cool Runnings, The message was about never giving up and trying to accomplish your dreams, and although the genre of the movie changes from a comedy to a sports drama halfway through, you don't mind, because you care so much about the characters and their struggle.

So I hope someone with a lot of power in the movie industry reads this, because I just told him/her how to fix comedy.
