It is considered a comedy because in Shakespeare's time, "comedy" did not mean what it does today; it meant a situation which ends well for the main characters (i.e., nobody good dies). In addition, it usually ends with marriage between the characters, and the tone may be lighter overall. So while there may not be outright "funny" lines or plots, the play is a "feel good" play for the day.
