PARIS: Jennifer Aniston said she wishes we could laugh more at ourselves, rather than having to police every word in comedies.
“Comedy has evolved, movies have evolved,” the Friends star, 54, told AFP in Paris, where her new film Murder Mystery 2 with Adam Sandler, is set. “Now it’s a little tricky because you have to be very careful, which makes it really hard for comedians, because the beauty of comedy is that we make fun of ourselves, make fun of life,” she said.In the past, “you could joke about a bigot and have a laugh—that was hysterical. And it was about educating people on how ridiculous people were,” she said.
“Everybody needs funny! The world needs humour! We can’t take ourselves too seriously. Especially in the United States. Everyone is far too divided,” she said. For co-star Sandler, the other big change has been the budgets, with comedies now expected to look as good as expensive blockbusters and dramas. “You know what else has changed about comedies? The look,” Sandler joked, pointing to his clothes.
