Yeah don't get me wrong, there's plenty of movies I can go back to and love from that time period, but I just think the 2000s wasn't great as a time for "films". But 100% with the non-woke, non-"diverse" comedy movies that are just meant to be fun.

Waiting (2005) is like that for me where I can rewatch it and it feels totally like a time capsure. There's only one non-white guy in the entire movie. A single black guy who is the dishwasher. Edit: forgot it's got Luiz Gomez hispanic guy who's one of the chefs, so two out of the entire cast.

Also I may get crap for this, but I like the movie Employee of the Month starring Dane Cook. I know everyone's supposed to hate Dane Cook and I know Employee of the Month is objectively a movie made for 14 year olds, but it's just a feel good type comedy that they made back then that are really re-watchable in my opinion.

Also one of the greatest movies ever made in my opinion K-Pax is in the 2000s, 2001. K-Pax is a masterpiece I'd put in my top ten films of all time.

But yeah 2000s had better comedies than I gave them credit for at the time. In some ways 90s comedies, as much as I loved them, haven't aged as well as the 2000s comedies. Like Dumb and Dumber is still the greatest comedy of all time and it was 90s, but 2000s was way better for comedies than I gave it credit for back then; Step Brothers, Hot Rod, Waiting, Van Wilder, Just Friends.

A lot of those have aged better than a lot of the 90s comedies I loved.
