My brothers watched the movie and said it was disappointing, to put it diplomatically.

My husband and son watched it yesterday while I was visiting Ginger at the nursing home so I missed it. But they both said that it was pretty funny. I was walking out the door when it first came on and Eminem was giving "an interview" about coming out as gay..... That's how the movie started.

Watching it at home with the kids right now. Eminem opening is hilarious! Only ten minutes in, but so far so funny!

KazzyK810 · 12-26-2014, 07:17 PM

I thought it was funny! I'd watch it again. I've never seen James Franco in a comedy lead before...he was great!

Cos baby you're a firework!

WAAAT?! Franco is funny as hell! You didn't watch The End or whatever that was called? Plus Pineapple Express! Franco is always funny.

My bro has the link, I still haven't had a chance to watch it yet.

No. I had no idea Franco was so good at comedy. I remember going to see Pineapple Express at the drive-in, but being the main draw it was the second film and I slept through it. I never sought it out again because I heard it was like Harold & Kumar, which while mildly entertaining, I wouldn't watch twice.

The Interview is comedy/parody. Don't get what the big deal is about it. Kinda reminds me of a long SNL skit.

That's what I heard from my Son and he wasn't diplomatic either

I just watched it. I liked it. I thought it was pretty funny. There were several parts where I laughed pretty loud. I think the banter between Franco and Seth is what is the funniest, not necessarily the material. I also liked a lot of their music choices, of course they played White Stripes (twice!) so I guess I am a bit biased.

It's not the funniest thing I've ever seen; of course not, but I enjoyed it. So I think Kristen and Joan you two should watch it yourself and see if you think it's funny or not. So far all us who have seen it ourselves it was fairly enjoyable.

I don't even remember anything Franco was in that wasn't a comedy other than the Spiderman with Tobey Macguire. However you spell that guy's name LOL

I just know him from Annapolis, and Tristan & Isolde.

I watched This Is The End, last night and didn't care for it. Have now watch The Interview twice, and it's much funnier and more quoteable IMO.

capt_noonie · 12-28-2014, 03:18 PM

Yeah, I guess The End wasn't that great but I had a few laughs. Plus Franco wasn't in it that much. More of Seth and that other guy. My expectations of movies overall are pretty low. So if I actually get through the whole thing then in my book it was decent. LOL

That is how I feel about most movies today.

Admittedly, I am not a fan of Rogen or Franco. If my brothers did not like the movie, I have little hope that I will. I like some slapstick like Leslie Nielsen movies, or weird humor as in 'Fargo' and 'Burn After Reading.'

BTW, I watched The Grand Budapest tonight and loved it.

Ugh, now I've got to follow through and rent this thing. Wonder what the safest website is for doing my patriotic duty?
