What is a "slapstick film"?
A slapstick film is a type of comedy movie that relies on physical humor and exaggerated actions to make people laugh. It often features characters getting into ridiculous situations where they might fall, collide, or otherwise get hurt in an exaggerated way. The humor comes from these over-the-top, physical jokes rather than from clever dialogue or complex storylines. The goal is to entertain through visual and physical comedy that is both simple and funny.
