Review of The Interview (2014) by Thewaffle — 24 Jan 2015
Totally in line with most Rogen/Franco films. Mostly hilarious, a few jokes fall flat, and some questionable material. But reading the ridiculous click-bait articles about this movie "It's racist" "It's sexist" "It makes light of North Korea" are just click-bait. This movie is about as offensive as the Wedding Crashers. It's bawdy humor folks, grow up, Seth Rogen make a sex joke? Color me shocked.
And to pretend like this is beyond the pale because it depicts an assassination, I'd refer the critics to literally any action movie from the 90s wherein almost every protagonist assassinates Saddam Hussein or Gaddafi.
The movie was fun, it was gross, and it had a bit of heart. Can't ask for much more in a comedy.
