In the first sentence, I'd use the tag "hasn't it", but which tag would you recommmend for the second sentence?
It's with Ben Stiller? Then it has to be a funny film, hasn't it?
It's with Ben Stiller? Then it has got to be a funny film, .......?

The natural tag for the second sentence is, "doesn't it?"
That would also be another possibility for the first sentence, though your answer is fine.

Why doesn't "have got to" have a tag form when "have to" has?
