A Boyfriend for My Wife

Un novio para mi mujer)
2008 |
Argentina | Laughs: 2.8 (Watch Once) |
imdb: 6.8

who was involved?
Sick-and-tired of his pesky wife but too timid to break up, a man hires an aging Don Juan to seduce her away. This is a very watchable romantic comedy, but don't expect any belly laughs.

Waiting for the Hearse
(
Esperando La Carroza)
1985 |
Argentina | Laughs: 2.7 (Watch Once) |
imdb: 8.3
wikipedia |
who was involved?
For me, this movie was worth watching if only because I'd never seen a movie from Argentina before, let alone an Argentinean comedy. On a Sunday family gathering, three brothers and their wives argue about who should care for their senile mother. Loud at times and a bit fast-paced for me as I barely had time to read the subtitles, but cute, with funny moments.

The Distinguished Citizen
(
El Ciudadano Ilustre)
2016 |
Argentina | Laughs: 1.8 (Light-Hearted) |
imdb: 7.5
wikipedia |
who was involved?
After winning the Nobel Prize for literature, an Argentinian writer who has spent his whole career in Europe agrees to receive a medal in the country town he has worked so hard to escape.
This was not a laugh-out-loud comedy, but I found it delightfully perverse and it make me smirk. Highly recommended.

The Method
(
El Método)
2005 |
Argentina | Laughs: 0.5 (Light-Hearted) |
imdb: 7.3
wikipedia |
who was involved?
The seven final candidates to an executive position are pitted one against the other in a psychological game to determine the hire. The movie ranks high for dramatic tension on a low budget (most of it takes place in a board room). While I recommend it, don't watch it if you're hoping to laugh—the
comdedy tag on imdb seems inadequate.
