R-rated Comedy Revival Running on Empty?

We should thank Peter Farrelly, Adam McKay and Judd Apatow for making us howl over and over again. That’s assuming we were old enough to enter a movie theater. The directors delivered killer R-rated comedies over the past 20+ years, including “There’s Something About Mary” (Farrelly), “Anchorman” (McKay) and “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” (Apatow). Where are they now? McKay ditched comedy for propaganda films like “Vice,” “Don’t Look Up” and “Thrash.” Apatow hasn’t directed a big-screen comedy since 2020’s “The King of Staten Island,” and that film failed to recapture his past magic.
