Review of The Interview (2014) by Stevesitz — 26 Dec 2014
Foreign conflict movies used to be smart and funny; movies like Spies Like Us, MASH, Dr. Strangelove, Top Secret!, Stripes and so on but The Interview takes Kim Jong Un combined with a fart joke and makes and entire movie disguised as a media satire comedy out of it.
Really though, what would you expect from two stoners who know nothing but potty humor? The Interview has an okay start but ends up being something in the 'worst things you have ever watched' category.
This movie extra sucks for all the negative hype it generated only for the payoff to be worth nothing. The world is going to see this movie after all the threats that have been made and digital hacks that have been accomplished and say "They deserved it.
" For Seth Rogan to go on television and say that this movie wasn't created to cause controversy makes him just as idiotic as this movie was. This movie relies on celebrity cameos and bottom of the bucket humor to keep it going, but again, we've seen the same in every other one of his movies so not sure why I expected anything different.
Only difference between this and his other 'great' works are that instead of this one being based in a frat house its based in the in the real life setting of the supreme leader of North Korea WHO just so happens to be a film buff, like his insane father, as well a hot head about global relations at the moment; so for Rogan to say nothing was intended by this movie is a total lie.
Maybe years down the road when this conflict is over, yes, but not in the heat of it. If this fat, unfunny stoner really just made things for the world worse over a nearly unwatchable 'comedy' then I vote that it's time for this guy to go away.
