The Interview

It was never going to be The Great Dictator, was it? Come to think of it, The Interview doesn’t even come close to matching Team America’s satirical heights. What we have here is the kind of frat comedy we’ve come to expect from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, just transposed to a totalitarian state. They may have been funny back in 2007, but the sex and scatological gags are starting to wear thin, as is the foul-mouthed man child archetype played by James Franco. Business as usual then, although the portrayal of Kim Jong Un as a closet party animal with daddy issues does raise a few laughs.
