Comedy Movies/which movie to watch?

Question
I am age 34. I'm having my 61 yr old female friend over to watch a movie. (I'm also her caretaker)  I asked her what types of movies she likes.. her favorites are Some Like It Hot and Silver Streak both of which she's seen already. I don't really want to watch an older comedy ..and I also want her to watch one she's never seen before.. we both like Robin Williams of course.. I thought of Night at the Museum as she used to be a teacher 8 yrs ago before rtirement but that might be too cutesy/childish... Whats your opinion or suggestions? Thanks!

Answer
i have not yet seen 'night at the museum' so i can't say for sure.

but how about 'mrs. palfrey at the clarmont', or 'click' w/ adam sandler.  not your typical adam sandler movie either.  it was excellent and i was surprised.   or 'secrets of the ya-ya sisterhood'  these are all good films for both you and she.

enjoy!

I know funny. My husband knows slapstick. between the two of us, we know most of the funny movies and who stars/directed them. we`re particularly fond of movie bloopers, and can recite verbatim from films like caddyshack, meatballs, animal house etc. huge bill murray fans, as well as robin williams and steve martin.
