The Interview (2014)



Written and Directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (This is the End)
Starring:
James Franco (Spider-Man)
Seth Rogen (50/50)
Randall Park (Fresh of the Boat)
Lizzy Caplan (Mean Girls)
Diana Bang (Fringe)
Timothy Simons (Veep)
Eminem (8Mile)

This review will be on the short side as this movie got thoroughly publicized and you all know damn well what it's about.

Exactly the film I expected and wanted. Vulgarity comes in vast platoons, wrapped in sweetly-stupid, precisely-aimed sheer nonsense. Essential viewing for anyone looking to level-up their quote game.

Overall, it's an enjoyably upbeat pace with clever musical choices. (I've still yet to tire of the trailer) Cameos are liberally and joyfully flaunted with a lot of genuine bromancing using that proven Franco/Rogen chemistry and the secret ingredient that is Randall Park. As an added delicacy, we are given opportune slow motion usage and you can never never NEVER go wrong with slow motion.

(Introducing a new ratings system fully embracing the SQUID brand...
INKS or Stinks and the 2 Tentacles, the two strongest features.)

Personal: The Interview...INKS!
Conditional: May Stink for those looking for deep political meaning.

Tentacles: Actors' chemistry and Dialogue.
