Picking a film the kids will actually sit through — and that you won't resent watching — is one of the underrated challenges of family life. The comedies that make you cry are the ones that never announce they're going to — the sadness arrives through a joke, or a silence, or a look between characters.
There is nothing worse than picking the wrong movie for the mood. This curated list of comedy films with kids takes that risk off the table. Every pick here is that will make you cry — tried, tested, and worth your time. Happy watching.
