Rating: 7 out of 10, A Christmas buddy
movie where three friends gather each year on the night before Christmas. This
year will be the last one as each ages away from the tradition. Rogen, along
with Anthony Mackie and Joseph Gordon-Leavitt demonstrate some real chemistry
as the three friends. As with most of these type films not all the jokes land
but enough of them do for the movie to be genuinely funny. There are the usual
celebrity cameos including Rogen's customary obsession with penis pictures and
James Franco; so not the kind of holiday film you want to take the kids to. Gross
out comedy but after a string of clear misses this one was a lot of fun; if for
no other reason than to see the uber-Hebrew Rogen attending a midnight
Christmas catholic mass.
MVP: Rogen as Isaac Greenberg, the
drug addled future father
