15. “life Of Crime” (2013)

• Cast: Yasiin Bey, Isla Fisher
• Rating: R

This under-the-radar comedy didn't fare well at the box-office, but it boasts a stellar cast and has just enough twists to keep viewers engaged. Set in 1970s Detroit, Life of Crime follows two incompetent ex-cons as they try to carry out a kidnapping that goes horribly wrong.

14. “just Go With It” (2011)

• Rating: PG-13

Once again, Sandler and Aniston are a winning team in this rom-com. Only this time, Sandler portrays Danny, a surgeon who avoids commitment, and Aniston portrays Katherine, a coworker who reluctantly agrees to play his wife so he can win over another girl. Is it cheesy? Yes. But expect plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.

13. “friends With Money” (2006)

• Cast: Joan Cusack, Catherine Keener, Frances McDormand
• Rating: R

This comedy focuses on the friendship between Olivia (a financially unstable maid) and her three well-off friends, who struggle in other areas of life. Not only does it tackle themes like aging and relationships, but it also packs quite a few laughs.

• Cast: John C. Reilly Jake Gyllenhaal, Zooey Deschanel

9. “bruce Almighty” (2003)

• Cast: Jim Carrey, Morgan J. Freeman
• Rating: 16+

Aniston teams up with comedy genius Jim Carrey in this delightfully cheesy comedy, where an anchorman is presented with a rare opportunity to play God for a week. Aniston shines as the kind-hearted wife, and not surprisingly, there are plenty of laugh-worthy moments.

• Cast: Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, Kevin Spacey
• Rating: R

This box-office hit follows three fed-up employees who hatch a complex plan to get rid of their abusive bosses for good—but it doesn’t hold up as well as they expect. Aniston is remarkable as the sexually aggressive Dr. Julia Harris and steals nearly every scene.
