How to choose by tone
The rankings cover very different kinds of comedy, so the score alone may not point you to the right film for a particular mood.
- For animation: Start with The LEGO Movie or Megamind; The LEGO Movie 2 is the animated sequel.
- For a holiday family comedy: Choose Elf.
- For satire and big comic set pieces: Try Barbie, The Other Guys, or Talladega Nights.
- For a comedy-drama or a quieter Ferrell performance: Consider Stranger Than Fiction or Everything Must Go.
- For a comedy sequel: The guide includes Anchorman 2 and The LEGO Movie 2.
Why Rotten Tomatoes’ profile shows a different top movie
Rotten Tomatoes’ separate Will Ferrell profile identifies Will & Harper (2024) as his highest-rated movie at 99%. That profile label and the 2025 editorial guide are distinct page features: the guide’s #1 is The LEGO Movie, while the profile’s 99% figure is not part of the guide’s ten-entry ranking.
What the scores do—and don’t—tell you
A Tomatometer percentage is a critics’ score, not a measure of audience popularity and not an objective verdict on which film is best. The ten percentages and positions here reflect Rotten Tomatoes’ 2025 guide; scores and page ordering can change, so consult the linked guide for its current display.
