I'm looking for suggestions for movies for a female (middle aged) friend who is ill -- I really want very light, very funny upbeat movies, nothing touching or tear-jerking!

What can I do next?

We just saw Horrible Bosses and thought it was funny. I'm not into chick flicks and we never go see movies, but we rented this one and my husband and I laughed a bunch. J. Aniston was a bit more than we expected, so if she is prude (which is ok), this might not be the movie for her. I don't remember any nudity, but the dialogue was sometimes a bit surprising,

Since it is the holidays, what about 'Elf'? Nothing offensive in it and funny as hell! I would advise on all the movies you are suggested, look on IMDB or YouTube to view the trailers to see what movie you think she would like.
