Pretty okay. Super quick paced but it worked. I laughed here and there but died during the control room encounter near the end. The denoument is kinda lame but the rush the climax owns. Also loved Franco's realization about the fake fruit. I liked This Is The End better but this is still good.

Just got done watching it. It was ok. Not their best work, but yeah as Little Mac says the realization about the shop and the little boy was a great scene and honestly the best condemnation about North Korea you can do. They actually do things like that. Had North Korea not lost it's poo poo over it, this film would have came and gone and nobody would have cared about it or remembered it.

Kudos to Sony for premiering a movie on YouTube. First step towards finally making cinemas obsolete. Hopefully they'll soon figure out that the Internet works across oceans too

precision posted:Was it anywhere near as good as Pineapple Express? Nah, but it wasn't much worse or anything. I thought the beginning was slow and repetitive but the last 30 minutes was all pretty funny and enjoyable. The control room scene might be one of my favorite action scenes of all time though. And yeah, the fake fruit shop was well done too.

That review is pretty hilariously bad, it basically complains that The Interview isn't the North Korean Schindler's List.

Movie is actually a lot funnier than I thought and...violent too. I enjoyed it more then This is the End not sure about where it ranks with Pineapple Express.

Movie was not as bad as critics say, but not as good as I hoped. I think Franco works better when he's a secondary character in comedies.

Pretty good, I liked it better than Neghbors, not as funny as Pineapple Express. They made no attempt at all to make the exterior shots look like Korea instead of Vancouver though

I was really disappointed that Un was made out to be actually crazy after they started to humanize him. I really thought it was going to go on to make him out to be a sympathetic puppet controlled by his Generals. Then it would have actually been emotionally complex as they decide whether or not to kill him because of the next positive effect..

The whole point is that Franco and Un were able to get along because they come from extremely similar places, but the difference in how they turned out from it drives Franco back to reality.

I thought it was better overall than This Is The End but nowhere near as good as Pineapple Express. I do think it had a stronger third act, but the first two weren't even half as good, and while it was more consistently entertaining it didn't have anything as great as the Daewoo Lanos moment.

It was also a lot more nuanced about American imperialism than a simple summary would suggest. Un gets a couple of jabs in about how screwed up America is (our incarceration rate is mentioned). There is also a good joke (which was in a trailer) where Sook says something to Franco about how the states should have learned these kind of missions don't work and Franco responds to the effect of "we'll keep trying until they do." I paraphrased to try to avoid spoiling it Of course the mission does mostly work, which is not dissimilar to Team America's ending.

I actually really enjoyed this. Like, more than I was expecting to. I was thinking about the To Friend A Predator episode of Workaholics throughout a good bit of it, and Anders from Workaholics was even in the movie! The control room scene and the Katy Perry tank scene right after it had me almost in tears from laughing so hard. I think the movie wasn't really doing much for me until Dave and Kim started hanging out, but once that happened, it picked way up and never stopped being exciting/funny to watch after that.

So I wasn't the only one who wasn't able to steam in HD from youtube? Youtube actually advertises it in HD. It's pretty amazing that I had to resort to piracy to get what I actually bothered to pay for. I felt that the movie was really really dumb, but it was a lot of fun. The first half was pretty dull, but the movie gets much better in the second half. The movie becomes so much better once Kim Jong-Un shows up. I was really hoping for something much greater out of the film, but I really had a lot of fun with what I got.

It does have a few really great gags in the beginning, like the one-second cameo from Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who is just playing with a bunch of puppies for no real reason.

If you watched this movie expecting intelligent social commentary, maybe you should watch 60 minutes. also: They complain about killing UN offscreen with poison, but when it came down to it because of the CEO freaking out about it, they just about showed him offscreen on the death. How anticlimatic and ironic.
