Most movies will have many more writers work on the script than whose names actually appear in the credits. A writer will only get his name credited as the writer if he or she contributes more than 50% of the story and character. But beyond that person many writers, called "script doctors" will work on single scenes or even single lines of dialogue to get them to the director's liking. Comedies typically use scads of writers to create just individual jokes here and there.
"Tootsie" is a good example of a film that is often cited for having one of the best comedic screenplays in history, that's credited to only a few writers, but did have upwards of 32 writers work on the script at one time.
