Action comedy

a movie genre that combines elements of both action and comedy, typically featuring fast-paced action scenes and humorous moments to create an entertaining and often lighthearted film

Examples

1. That kind of early to mid-90s action comedy with substance and heart where the bullets hurt, where the bullets are real, as Keegan says.

2. It's big action comedy starring the three of us, it's not a Workaholics movie but, if you like Workaholics, you're gonna like it.

3. It's a chivalry thing, but it becomes almost cartoonish when it shows up in modern cinema's favorite action comedy trope of the decade, the ludicrously competent girl training the completely inexperienced schlub.
