3 Netflix comedies to watch after '72 Hours' — including SZA and Keke Palmer's girl failure buddy comedy that hits way too close to home

(L to R) Kam Patterson as Freshman, Kevin Hart as Joe, Marcello Hernandez as Nick, Ben Marshall as Hunter and Mason Gooding as Mason in 72 Hours. Cr. Alan Markfield/Netflix.

Netflix's Kevin Hart-led buddy comedy "72 Hours" became the latest No. 1 movie on the platform, which just goes to show that you can't always trust Netflix's ranking. It's currently sitting at a 14% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, with audience reactions not quite as scathing but still lukewarm at 49%. I'm tired of pretending Kevin Hart is still funny, and that's coming from someone who raved about his early stand-up comedy specials. His Napoleon complex schtick has gotten old, and if you ask me, there are much better comedies on Netflix that are worth you precious streaming time this weekend.

I've rounded up a few of my favorites below, including a girl failure comedy that I return to again and again when it's just been one of them days, a new(ish) chaotic double act with John Cena and Eric André, and one of the most controversial buddy comedies to date that I still stand by, 20 years later.
