There are days when people would like to watch a serious movie in order to find something new,
and are days when they want to watch a movie with their family and have some fun. I would prefer
to watch a movie designed primarily to amuse and entertain.
First of all, laughing makes life longer, and a comedy movie would be just the case. It always
makes me feel better when I watch a movie such as “Bad Boys”, because it has a lot of positive
emotions to share with the public. Not to mention that comedy movies can be watched together with
family and have some fun.
Secondly, after watching a comedy movie, I am fulfilled with good energy and I am capable of
doing my homework and other stuff at home without having negative thoughts about what a bad day
I have had. Furthermore, after a long day of work, all I want is to relax along my family, and forget
about all the problems I have for at least a couple of hours.
To sum up with, comedy movies is what I would like to watch in the evenings beside my family
or friends.
