There’s a pretty gigantic black hole that’s going to eventually swallow our planet and all the reality stars that inhabit it, and there’s no chance you’ll get to see a live dinosaur before that happens. But even the prospect of living, and ultimately dying, on a planet with no live dinosaurs is more cheerful than the fact that no-one really loves you. It’s not just the fact that you insist on correcting every grammatical error you come across, it’s also the fact that you like TV shows with canned laughter tracks in them. But things are not that bad. At least now you can watch Hollywood movies online. That’s basically the same as reaching whatever is at the top of any pyramid of happiness indeed created by an old white dude, right?

Here are five hilarious movies you can stream on ZEE5 right now if you want to keep the monsters at bay:

Pineapple Express

This action-comedy, starring Seth Rogan and James Franco, was called one of the funniest movies of 2008 by critics. The movie tells the story of Dale (Seth Rogen), a pot-smoking process server, and Saul (James Franco), his drug dealer, and their misadventures after they witness a corrupt police officer and a drug lord murder an Asian man. The stoner comedy was praised by critics for being surprisingly well-rounded, mainly because of Seth Rogen and James Franco’s incredible onscreen chemistry. If you need another reason for why this should be one of your top picks when you’re looking to watch Hollywood movies online, then here’s a fun fact: James Franco was nominated for a Golden Globe for his role as the super laid-back drug dealer, a role that he actually wasn’t meant to play. According to Seth Rogen, he was supposed to play the role of Saul, but switched it with Franco after he asked him to.

Grown Ups 2

There’s nothing like a silly, slapstick movie that will, momentarily, make you forget that the messy miseries of life. Grown Ups 2 is the sequel to the high grossing Adam Sandler comedy, that also starred Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, Nick Swardson, Salma Hayek, and Maya Rudolph. In the first film, big shot Hollywood agent Lenny (Sandler) revisits his hometown and connects with his old high school buddies. In this sequel, he has decided to move back to his small hometown, but will now have to make some major readjustments. If you’re trying to find Hollywood movies online that will temporarily lift the dark veil of despair that is now surrounding you, this is a pretty good bet.

The Interview

In case you thought your mother keeping your name in her phone as ‘the Annoying One’ was bad, get this: a silly comedy movie by Seth Rogen nearly started a war with North Korea that would have meant the end of the world as we know. In the movie, Aaron (Seth Rogen) and Dave (James Franco) get a chance to interview Kim Jong-un. The CIA orders them to use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to assassinate the North Korean dictator. You can see why North Korea would see this as a declaration of war.

You Don’t Mess with Zohan

Another Adam Sandler hit makes it to this list. Co-written by Adam Sandler and Judd Apatow, this is one of the perfect Hollywood movies online to stream when you realise the reason you can’t order take-out from your favourite restaurant is because they’ve blocked you for sigh* being too unlikeable. In this one, Sandler plays the role of an Israeli counter-terrorist commando, who stages his own death so that he can move to New York City to pursue his lifelong dream of being a hairstylist.

Shaun of the Dead

If you’re a fan of streaming Hollywood movies online, then you cannot miss Shaun of the Dead on ZEE5. Directed by indie darling Edgar Wright, it stars Simon Pegg as the titular Shaun, who is just a boring salesman. His life becomes upside down when he suddenly has to single-handedly deal with a horde of undead zombies

So, that’s it from this list. There are many more movies out on ZEE5 that are high on madcap comedy. So, go ahead and check them crazy flicks out now.
