Top 5: Funniest Performances from the Rough Night Cast

Rough Night, more than almost any other comedy in recent memory, feels specifically crafted to capture the comedic sensibilities of younger viewers. We've got a female-centric bawdy comedy about a bachelorette weekend gone wrong featuring the woman who plays Black Widow (ScarJo), two breakout performers from Comedy Central (Jillian Bell and Illana Glazer), a talented young actress with a famous last name (Zoe Kravitz), and SNL's most famous cast member (Kate McKinnon). While the end result may or may no be funny there's an undeniable amount of talent and comedic chops onscreen. As such we're picking five of our favorite funny performances from the Rough Night cast. *Spoilers ahead*

Editor's Note: One actress is getting two highlights here because while Zoe Kravitz has been in a comedy or two she doesn't have a signature comedic performance.

Ilana Glazer as Rebecca Grinch in The Night Before

Glazer doesn't have an extensive filmography outside of TV, but she makes the most of her screen time in this holiday comedy. Originally appearing as a fangirl to Anthony Mackie's Chris Roberts, Rebecca proceeds to take out her holiday frustrations on Roberts in a series of evolving chases and pranks. While she may not get any signature lines, her signature comedic sensibilities are all over this performance including the backwards swan dive off a roof.

Jillian Bell as Lorraine in Goosebumps

While this light-hearted kids film is a Jack Black vehicle, Bell steals every scene she's in with excellent comedic timing and energy. Fully embodying the kooky aunt with weird hobbies and an out of touch bag of cultural references, Bell is the only adult character who seems to handle the horror movie scenario in stride. Which not only helps our heroes saves the day but also earns her a date with on R.L. Stine.

Jillian Bell as Mercedes in 22 Jump Street

Prior to this film, most audiences knew Bell as the kind-hearted and upbeat coworker Jillian from Workaholics. Which is precisely why her venom spewing turn as the disapproving roommate Mercedes is a fantastic blind-side. In almost every one of her scenes, Bell delivers a barrage of cutting one-liners at Jonah Hill's Schmidt that are both hilarious and likely improvised. And that's before her fight scene with Schmidt towards the film's climax...

Kate McKinnon as Jillian Hotlzmann in Ghostbusters

The definition of a breakout performance, Kate McKinnon's Holtzmann is so delightfully odd and enthusiastic that she steals scenes without delivering a line. As the team's tech guru, Holtzmann's odd bravado and devilish grin owns every moment she's onscreen whether it's accidentally setting fires while blasting DeBarge, trying on wigs, or musing how "safety lights are for dudes!" No matter what is going on in the scene McKinnon gives a fully committed physical performance and the results are hilarious.

Scarlett Johansson as Barbara Sugarman in Don Jon

To those that date women, can you imagine wanting to breakup with Scarlett Johansson? And yet that's precisely the situation our titular hero finds himself in with Barbara Sugarman, a gorgeous but shallow woman who refuses to abandon her rom-com ideals of love. Johansson has had a lot of experience with dead-pan or straight woman roles, but here she gets to dig into a true charicature with a Jersey accent and the results are phenomenal. Sometimes she has ugly meltdowns, other times she casually hints that Jon needs to spend money to maintain the relationship, and other times she uses her feminine wiles as a weapon. The fact that the audience is ready to leave Barbara behind long before Jon speaks volumes about her performance.
