The month of January does not seem to want to end, and not for lack of trying. The past week has felt like one of the longest weeks in history, for more than a few reasons. With all the negative news circling around our media these days, it seems everyone could use a good pick-me-up, or at least a brief escape to a different universe where it doesn't seem like the planet is falling apart. If you're in desperate need for an escape from the usual chaos, here's a list of a few of the most popular comedies and feel-good movies to help you catch a much needed break.
1. We're The Millers
If Jennifer Aniston isn't queen of the RomComs, I don't know who is.
2. Friends With Benefits
For every person who's tried the FWB thing.
3. Crazy Stupid Love
Ryan Gosling. Just, Ryan Gosling.
4. Legally Blonde
I think we could all use Elle's optimism right about now.
And her coping mechanisms.
5. Bridesmaids
Life lessons everywhere.
6. Eat Pray Love
Same.
7. Easy A
Hint: it's not Tom Cruise.
8. Bride Wars
Hmmm...Anne Hathaway might give Jen a run for her money.
9. Horrible Bosses
And speaking of Jen, she's how old in this movie? #goals
10. The Hundred-Foot Journey
Humorous, heartwarming, and Helen Mirren: the feel-good trifecta.
11. Bridget Jones' Diary
12. Trainwreck
The movie that said, "World, meet Amy Schumer."
13. Spy
The world could use a Susan Cooper.
14. Meet the Fockers
15. Pitch Perfect
And a Fat Amy. Definitely a Fat Amy.
16. How To Be Single
But maybe just having Rebel Wilson will do.
17. Date Night
18. Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
But actually - Zac Efron's biceps though.
19. The Proposal
Ah, Ryan Reynolds. My personal favorite Ryan.
20. Bad Teacher
21. Just Go With It
Again, she's how old?!
22. The Other Woman
Cameron Diaz's last stand and Jaime Lannister as the womanizer. Forever one of my favorites.

23. Bad Moms
You will never look at your mom the same way again.
24. Superbad
McLovin, a cultural icon.
