It is loving terrible and anyone who defends it really has no loving taste. Every "comedy" scene is Franco or Rogen making a wacky face or saying some lame one-liner. The writing is awful and the acting is b-list poo poo. It felt like I was watching a long MadTV sketch.

It was really just the fact it uses NK, a nation being starved and held hostage by the most powerful mobster family in the world, as a backdrop for some not really great fart jokes.

To her Korea is Korea, the North and South split is artificial and happened not very long ago historically. Her family is literally split between the two. We were both excited to see the movie but as we got into it, I get where she was coming from.

I mean Team America was so ridiculous in comparison, but it also had some things to say and having giant puppets act it out keeps it feeling really satirical. I didn't expect this movie to have much to say, but maybe if you're going to make a movie about a place like NK you should do it with some finesse. Cool if other people like it tho obv

I've heard this a lot from Korean-Americans, but supposedly this is becoming less and less accepted with each new generation in South Korea. I mean, even the South Korean government has put any reunification efforts mostly on the back burner, largely because a Korean reunification would be more expensive than what happened with the German unification, and not just because of the technological and logistic disparity between the two. Even the language has started to change between the two countries, with North Korea having these weird Juchespeak colloquialisms that aren't found anywhere else.

Movie was hilarious (with some duds) but definitely has issues that stop it from being a good movie. Watching it for free definitely helped but I also think it's worth 6 bucks if you're into Rogan/Franco poo poo. Basically felt like Pineapple Express except they have jobs now.

Also paraphrasing someone from CD: it's an absurdist retelling of LOTR

If by poor you mean people not paying for it (as opposed to those just complaining about the price), keep in mind it was only released in the US. I would imagine most downloaders were from other countries wanting to see it.

Yep, a Correct Opinion. Seeing a good comedy with an audience that's excited about the movie and laughing their asses off is super fun.

i think they put it on the back burner more because bush shut down all the attempts at reunification that they had been going through while supported by clinton, and obama hasn't changed that stance either.

like it wasn't all sunshine and roses, i mean its like a huge gulf and any negotiations etc between the two were going to stumble and struggle at first, but they were meeting and attempting to become more peaceful towards each other and work on economic projects together and then bush called north korea part of the axis of evil and so NK went "well gently caress all of you then" and hardened even further and welp

They certainly can put Obummer in place!

quote:

On Saturday, the North's powerful National Defense Commission, the country's top governing body led by Kim, said that Obama was behind the release of "The Interview." It described the movie as illegal, dishonest and reactionary.

"Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest," an unidentified spokesman at the commission's Policy Department said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.

It wasn't the first time North Korea has used crude insults against Obama and other top U.S. and South Korean officials. Earlier this year, the North called U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry a wolf with a "hideous" lantern jaw and South Korean President Park Geun-hye a prostitute. In May, the North's news agency published a dispatch saying Obama has the "shape of a monkey."
