KUGRDON Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Want to hear a description of a "stoner movie"? From a WaPost review: The Interview: Falls Short of the Hype By Ann Hornaday December 24 at 5:30 PM Forget “Is it funny?†The question now is “Was it worth it?†“The Interview,†a genial, occasionally incisive, generally lackadaisical comedy about a dunderheaded journalist tasked with assassinating Kim Jong Un, was never supposed to get this far. As one of several movies opening Christmas Day, it was aimed squarely at fans of the humor perfected by Seth Rogen and his frequent collaborator James Franco — humor that usually centers around partying, having sex, flirting “bromantically†with each other and ingratiating themselves with viewers who can’t resist charms that range from nebbishy to disarmingly dumb. That “The Interview†landed amid the brouhaha of a hacking scandal, geopolitical crisis and First Amendment case study is as improbable as one of Rogen and Franco’s absurd plots. Sexual, bathroom, and homophobic "humor" with just enough social commentary mixed in to make stoners feel like they are relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaniard Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Again, this is the best thing they could've done to generate hype for the movie. Well done by Sony's Marketing team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
