2 Funniest New Movies On Hulu

“New” movies are defined here as titles that came out in the last 26 months or so. Here are the two funniest ones available on Hulu this March.

Thelma (2024)

Every generation has a recognizable face attached to the action genre. In the ‘80s, it was Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. In the ‘90s, it was Bruce Willis and Jackie Chan. And in the 2020s, it’s the 94-year-old June Squibb, who receives the role of a lifetime as an elderly retiree attempting to track down the con artist who swindled her out of $10,000. A laugh-out-loud action comedy that tackles deep issues related to age, grief, elderly exploitation, and life-altering financial scams, Thelma’s swift and self-assured humor helps the movie move along at a rapid pace – not unlike Squibb and Richard Roundtree’s eventful journeys on the back of their two-person scooter.

A Real Pain (2024)

Among the best releases of 2024, A Real Pain finds Kieran Culkin and Jesse Eisenberg’s wildly contrasting cousins embarking on a heritage tour through Eastern Poland. Possessing an indelible comedic bite and making ample use of Culkin and Eisenberg’s masterful performances, A Real Pain is a life-affirming comedy absolutely everyone will enjoy seeing. Dark, methodical, and philosophical in its exploration of family, grief, and mental health, it’s a sensational film that packs plenty of weighty emotion and buoyant comedy into its 90-minute runtime, delighting viewers from its riveting start to its bittersweet conclusion
