Si tratta semplicemente della descrizione del genere di un film. Io opterei solo per comedy, ma mi sembra che manchi qualcosa...Qualche idea?
Grazie in anticipo per l'aiuto!

comedy
In Italian a "commedia" is simply " a play". Not necessarily a funny one. So to make the distinction, in Italian you have to say "commedia brillante". But in English there is no such disctinction; a comedy is *always* for laughs.

Comment: "Thanks to everybody for your prompt and helpful answers. I'll go for comedy because as Tom says, in English there is no need to specify that is a funny comedy, at least not in this context. Thanks Tom!"
