Available now on Disney Plus — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason Bad Boys keeps coming up in conversation. Bad Boys gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Marcus Burnett is a henpecked family man. Mike Lowrey is a footloose and fancy free ladies' man. Both Miami policemen, they have 72 hours to reclaim a consignment of drugs stolen from under their station's nose. The chemistry Will Smith and Martin Lawrence bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It was released in 1995. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Bad Boys holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Bad Boys is a strong candidate. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Will Smith is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
