As You Like It

"Play, music! And you, brides and bridegrooms all, / With measure heap'd in joy, to the measures fall." V.iv.78

Why don't we all get married? Is that really the ending? Every little conflict in this play is resolved quickly. By the end, all conflict is resolved and multiple people get married. It was basically a happy ending for everyone. I don't understand what the point of the play is. I also didn't find it funny at all, so I don't understand why it is a comedy. This play was pretty easy to read compared to other Shakespeare plays, but it was a little bit of a letdown for a Shakespeare play.
