Review of The Interview (2014) by Brandon M — 24 Feb 2015

Basic: So, a silly, ignorant, T.V. show Host, Dave Skylark, (played by James Franco), and his buddy, Aaron Rapport (played by Seth Rogen) got this small little email message from Kim Jong-Un (played by Randall Park), that he would like to have an interview with Dave Skylark. Both Dave and, Aaron agreed that they would be going to North Korea to see him. And then, the C.I.A. takes a visit to them, telling them that they should kill Kim, when they get to North Korea.

What's the deal: Now, this was a movie that gotten banned because of its controversial. So, I see this with my older brother on his computer, and I didn't think that it was at all bad as some critics would say about it, but there are a few things in it that I felt mixed about it. The first act of the film was great. It features some great hilarious laughs I've ever gotten. But then, in the middle, I got a little bored, because it didn't quite grab my attention, and it doesn't quite carry that same energy, like in the first act. As for the third act of the film, it did pick me up a little bit, but it was also getting too dark, too controversial and it really does bring a bad taste, when we get to the third act of this film. The actors: James Franco, I figure some may go off of his performance in this movie, but I wasn't. I actually thought he was funny in the film. I mean, I did enjoy his silliness and, his ignorant. The actor, who played Kim Jong-Un, Randall Park was also pretty funny. The relationship between him and, James Franco's character did make sense. Seth Rogen, on the other hand, was all right. There we're some funny moments of him, which one of them could be him and the tiger, but there we're some other moments of where he's doing the same thing like he did in his previous comedies.

My full opinion: So, anyway, The Interview is a decent comedy that features a few great laughs, but I really felt mixed about it because it wasn't the comedy that wanted, though I've seen the film twice, and I like a bit more than the first viewing. 6.1/10.
