movie. But also there were some other great comedian cameos that you are probably used to seeing in other Rogan movies.But it's more than that. It's also a heartwarming movie that has some sentimental story telling that just might make you a little misty eyed. Its a great story about three life long friends really growing up in their own ways. This is the first time this year I have finally felt the Christmas spirit and I loved it. 10 out of 10 comedy. Thank you to the entire writing cast that is involved with these Rogan movies because you guys don't disappoint, and if anything, this is probably one of his best movies to date.

Ariel Shaffir. It costars Lizzy Caplan, Jillian Bell, Mindy Kaling and Michael Shannon. I loved it; like I love nearly every movie Rogen and Goldberg put out!Ethan Gordon-Levitt lost his parents, in a drunk driving accident, over a decade earlier on Christmas Eve. His two best friends, Isaac Rogen and Chris Mackie , have been celebrating the holiday with him, by getting wasted and partying, ever since on Christmas Eve . Now Isaac is about to have a baby, and Chris is becoming a very popular athlete; so they've decided to end the tradition, with one last big 'night out'. Lots of drugs, sex and other crazy antics follow. The movie is hilarious, from start to finish; I laughed-out-loud, nearly the entire film. The performances are great, and the script is brilliant. The only problem I have with the movie though, is the cheesy melodrama; whenever the film tries to get too serious, it doesn't work and the romance sucks . That doesn't take place too often though; other than that, it's a new Christmas movie classic!Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://youtu.be/iHtyjLDJ1Ko

trademark crude humor of Rogen but this movie has one thing many of his comedies don't: heart.The Night Before tells the tale of Ethan Gordon-Levitt who suffered the tragic loss of his parents on Christmas Eve as a young adult. That year and every year since his surrogate family in the form of best friends Isaac Rogen and Chris Mackie has held a tradition of going out and partying, in constant pursuit of the illustrious "Nutcracker Ball." On the year the friends agree to end the tradition, Ethan stumbles upon tickets to the Nutcracker Ball and the story goes from there.This script was from a story by the film's director Jonathan Levine. If you haven't seen his previous films like 50/50 or Warm Bodies, I highly recommend doing so. This guy can balance comedic moments sewn into a dramatic story, especially in 50/50. And that's what the story of this movie is, dramatic. First off, this movie has almost nothing to do with the holiday season. No character goes through an arc where their lesson is taught by the magic of Christmas. This is a buddy comedy set during the holiday season. It's a tale of friendships and how they evolve over the years. And at this point in their lives, their mid 30s, they're growing more apart by the day. By the end of the film, all three men realizing keeping the friendship together is hard so that means they'll simply have to work harder at it.I personally found the characters to be very relatable considering I am around the same age as them. And it really is this demographic that the film aims at, twenty and thirtysomethings. People are either starting a family, have careers taking off, or are stuck in a funk of monotony. All are represented in our leads of Rogen, Mackie, and Gordon-Levitt, respectively. But the character that steals the show is Mr. Green, played to absolute perfection by Michael Shannon. When you find out the guys have to go buy weed from the same guy from high school you're expecting a cameo from Danny McBride or Jonah Hill or maybe even Will Ferrell. But Chris Mackie gets into the car and it's f*cking Michael Shannon! He acts as a guide to the three men so he keeps popping up in scenes thank God to teach each man a lesson about friendship. As one might expect, James Franco does eventually show up in this movie and his scene is great too but Michael Shannon is this movie's scene thief.The humor is what you would expect from a Seth Rogen comedy; crude, drug induced, pop culture reference laden, and riddled with F bombs. But as I said before, that kind of comedy appeals to me so I ate it up. I laughed out pretty consistently throughout this movie, not every joke hit as hard as it was intended but I still couldn't stop laughing. And I don't know what it is about Seth Rogen comedies but I always find myself caught up in his soundtrack choices. I blared "Paper Planes" a lot after Pineapple Express, I became a Katy Perry fan after The Interview, and now I can't get enough of "Runaway" by Kanye West. The music compliments the scene its used in so well.I think that this movie would be a holiday classic, given that it stands the test of time, if it weren't for a few faults. Once again, the audience is really narrowed down to 80s babies so I know this won't be a four quadrant classic like A Christmas Story. Also, the movie isn't really about the holidays, that's simply the setting. But as far as buddy comedies go, I think this could be a classic after time has passed. It has distinguishable characters that almost anyone can relate to. A great story about friendships and their inevitable change. And most of all, hilarious performances by every character.This is the kind of movie you take a buddy to see. It's about friends who have become family so the closer the friend, the better. Yes, there is a romantic element to the story involving Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lizzy Caplan but it really doesn't serve a purpose outside of propelling the plot through slow spots. It might distract a girlfriend who isn't a big Seth Rogen fan but you never know.A funny, heartfelt movie that really appealed to me.9 out of 10

His two best friends, Issac Seth Rogen and Chris Anthony Mackie make it a tradition to hang out every year. But as a result of them moving on with their lives that tradition will be coming to an end, with the biggest party in town "The Nutcracker Ball". What was arguably most important with these characters was the fact that they had to have great chemistry, which they do. All 3 of the main characters are played very well and are all different. The film sort of sets itself up to be one that deals with the troubles that Ethan has to overcome when realising his friends have grown up. Whilst it does do this, the other characters both have to overcome troubles of their own which was interesting to see. Among the madcap humour, like the fact that most of the movie deals with Seth Rogen on every drug you can imagine, the message we ultimately take from the film is such a good message and done surprisingly well. Also, i heard huge buzz coming from Michael Shannon's role, and yes he steals this movie and makes all of his scenes so damn funny that you always look forward to seeing him on screen and some other great cameos really round it out to be a brilliant time. This is a film i could get on board with and watch every Christmas and im sure many others would tooA new Christmas tradition for sure and i highly recommend you see it before Star Wars completely dominates the box office.

got it. Seth Rogen maybe at his best in a while, because yeah he is the stoner but also at the edge of a new life... a daddy. But the funniest thing is that his wife give him a gift and it's full drugs haha. HE looks and act like he really did eat, smoke, etc.. theses things.Anthony Mackie is good as usual but he may be the underrated one here as he really show his comedic skills without being too cocky even if his character his, he stay the most human most of the time.BUT, what really impress me in that movie is thoses two things...1- Michael Shannon, i thought it was a cameo but he end being in the film at least 25 minutes and stole every line of the film.2- Kanye West song at the beginning in that toy store, imagine the movie BIG with Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia scene, it's that scene but with our three main characters, it really give a good tone to the film, awesome song !Also, it's a huge homage to the Home Alone films. Which is something i really enjoy because it is made in a funny and not to overshadow the 1990 5 star classic film starring Joe Pesci, John Heard, Catherine O'Hara, Daniel Stern and Macaulay Culkin.

director Jonathan Levine Warm Bodies, 50/50 – is like Santa fulfilling all your wants on a Christmas list, despite being very naughty all year. Seth Rogen, Anthony Mackie, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt star as three friends – a comedic parallel of the biblical three wise men – whom reunite each Christmas Eve to stage various shenanigans. After Ethan's Levitt parents tragically pass away, Isaac Rogen and Chris Mackie step in to assume the mother and father role for the wayward youth. Several years later, the trio receive lumps of coal in their stockings in the form of adulthood – Isaac is an expecting father; Chris is a social media famous football player, juicing up to stay relevant; Ethan is a retailer belittled in an elf costume, unable to let go of his morbid past. The shifts of maturity have made them distant from one another; with their lives moving in different directions, they decide this Xmas reunion will be their last together. Mischief abounds when Ethan discovers tickets for the "Nutcracker Ball" in a patrons clothing at a coat check- a fabled party that the boys have sought to attend since they originally started the tradition. Rogan steals the show. When Isaac's wife slips him a hodgepodge of various illegal substances as reward for being a devoted husband, Rogan displays each violent hallucination with hilarious intensity.There are plenty of 'Ho Ho Hos' to go around, and the sleigh-loads of laughs lasts the entire movie – a rarity in comedies when the third act is usually a reprieve for various characters to have epiphanies and change their lives.'The Night Before' is destined to be a Christmas cult classic akin to 'Bad Santa'.

become a famous football star, while Ethan is stuck, having trouble moving on with his life. Ethan comes across 3 tickets to the famous and exclusive Nutcracker Ball Party and the three friends set out on a night of, drinking, drugs and crazy scenarios. Let me just say off the bat that this movie is very funny. It hardly ever stops being funny. Even in the few sentimental parts, its still funny. The three lead actors work well and have great chemistry. The adventures and characters they come across are interesting and fresh without being annoying or out of place. Sometimes a holiday themed comedy can have trouble choosing a tone example: Scrooged . But The Night Before stays on track. Of course with a Seth Rogan movie you can expect cameos, and this film delivers. I won't spoil any of these, but they are wonderful treats sprinkled throughout the movie especially Mr. Green . There are also numerous, and hilarious references to classic Christmas movies.I did feel like there was a bit of a lull in between the second and third act, but the film quickly picks back up. Also, the Nut Cracker Ball didn't come across as epic as the movie make it out to be, but it doesn't really matter. A movie like this is about the journey more than the destination. As for the ending, its pretty generic. But thats OK. A Christmas movie should have a happy ending to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside and this one does the job in traditional fashion.I had a blast watching The Night Before. It's fun, relevant, hilarious, with a dash of heart. Rarely does a holiday movie become an instant classic, but I have a feeling this comedy has what it takes to become a yearly tradition.
