Saw it. This film is hilarious. Much better than I thought it would be. I loved how they used "Conquest" during the parts with Sexy Korean Military Lady.

This was better than either Jump Street, but worse than Pineapple Express.

The Jump Street films are works of goddamned art. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15OzmROxCYk Dave Franco's pure outrage at "I need to grab a handful of that dick" is amazing.

I finally watched this and I was disappointed. I didn't like it. I really wanted to, and had been looking forward to it, but it just fell flat for me. The last 20 minutes were pretty great, though. I wish I'd liked it more.

I liked it. Pretty funny moments, with some very dark humor and gore. That said, did anyone else thought during the last half-hour "Man this is starting to get ridiculous!" And then it hit me. The moment that Franco and Rogen enter North Korea, that's where that world's objective truths end, and it's all a beautiful, fictional ride. A bit of spoilers: remember when Franco's character said they would publish a book at the end of it all, and then they do exactly that? Many of the ridiculous stuff can be explained if that's what they put in the book to make it sell more. Like "We hosed up the poison thing, but got a replacement via drone. Unfortunately, my friend had to face a tiger alone, and then hid the container in his rear end". Or Rogen hooking up with the NK military woman. Or Kim just casually holding that dinner just around the corner from the fake store. Or how he was trying so hard to manipulate Franco, that he even gave him a puppy. And everything about the final sequence, especially the bit about the special forces team. What we end up watching is as much propaganda and manipulation as what Kim does. "The plucky american heroes end up killing the evil dictator and saving the world!" I expect that more people will see that this movie has more depth that it seems at first glance.

I think this is a sound reading and that the film isn't particularly subtle about it. Even with Team America, which very explicitly satirizes U.S. blockbuster action films, it ultimately concludes that the artifice and cartoonish jingoism of American culture is necessary in order to foster the patriotism necessary to combat incontrovertible evil. Goldberg and Rogen essentially stage the same exact movie but from the point of view of F.A.G. in the form of Franco's character, and similarly directly compare U.S. celebrity culture to a despotic, necrocratic regime that uses myths and artifice to distract citizens from the failure of the state to 'feed the people.' Furthermore, F.A.G. is actually in the necessary service of the military industrial complex rather than working in ideological opposition to it.

I watched Pineapple Express again last night and it's still amazing.

Because they are funny? And also fantastic commentary on the Hollywood film culture. I mean, if it's not for you, then it's not for you. Comedy is way too subjective to get frustrated at when the jokes don't work for you. It's not a bad thing. It's just a thing. And I'm super down with that reading where the film is propaganda. That makes it funnier to me.

They're singled out for praise because they're remarkable. Most contemporary comedies don't even function that well as comedies because they're ultimately grounded in boring conventional drama. You see this no matter how 'wacky' or clearly unperturbed by notions of realism the film is. The filmmakers basically stage banal, unsubtle dramatic beats and shoehorn jokes into them. There's no particular eye or ear for how you uniquely present a narrative or characters in comedic terms. This is something that Phil Lord and Chris Miller absolutely "get." It's not just that 21 Jump Street is funnier than it has any right to be. It's that it's so funny that it makes everything else look like poo poo by comparison, because it points up the fact that everything else is basically just a bad drama with jokes in it, and 21 Jump Street is actually a comedy. It's not just that it's better than it has any right to be. It's that Phil Lord and Chris Miller are this generation's Zucker Bros., and 21 Jump Street is their Naked Gun.

I loving love 21 Jump Street, 22 Jump Street, This is the End, and The Interview. I didn't think Pineapple Express was very funny.

Pineapple Express was kind of weird. It had all the elements of both a violent crime film and a dopey stoner comedy. It worked pretty well.

Lying and cheating is ok as long as it is REALLY important that your guy get elected.
