Reviews

leethomas-11621 Stuck with it to see how it would turn out, for no other reason. Ultimately it doesn't make sense.

Michael Ledo While hiking in North Korea, I stopped at my favorite watering hole, "Kimchi and Chow" (don't eat the Shepherd's Pie) and sure enough they had playing on loop, "The Interview." My two favorite bros where there, Kim, and Dennis. We did some shooters, toasted life, and kicked back and enjoyed the film.I think everyone knows the basic plot. The opening singing would of had been funny, but reminded too much of real songs done in Germany as performed in "The Book Thief." I went into the film wanting to write a negative review so I could tongue-in-cheek praise Kim Jung-Un for trying to save us from another James Franco film. However the first interview with Eminem had me in stitches.It only takes 35 minutes for our guys to get to North Korea. Aaron Rapaport (Seth Rogen) wants to go there because there are "a lot of Asian girls there." Dave Skylark (James Franco) who does the interview, is not a serious journalist, but is a favorite of Kim.There are lots of pop culture and movie references. LOTR is prevalent. There was a line from "Hitchhiker's Guide..." and of course where would the world be without the deep songs of Katy Perry. The film also has a diverse sound track and swagger music. I couldn't help but notice the use of Isaac Hayes' cover, "Walk on By."The beginning of the film was sharp and was good up until the actual interview when the production turned into slap stick. I understand they rewrote and redid the ending which may have caused this. Hopefully the DVD will have an alternative ending.Guide: Plenty of F-bombs. Brief sex scene. Brief nudity.

Jesusloveselvis I saw this in 2017 and didn't expect much. The first 1/4 of the film was quite poor, as it was dominated with cliché jokes.BUT then the film really picks up and I laughed a lot. The last half of the film, especially the last 1/4, are just great television. Funny and great action scenes.If you want to watch a good comedy then this is the one for you. Lower your expectations and survive the first 1/4 of the film and you will be golden.

rrmcmillan85 I couldn't take it for more than 15 minutes. The CIA and Spec Ops should use this instead of waterboarding. Thirty minutes of this would have ISIS killing each other. I can never regain those 15 minutes of my life. The plot lead in was pathetic,the acting was abysmal, and the scenes were a cross between an attempt at humor and a gangsta rap video.
