The Interview

"Considering the controversy and chaos Sony Pictures Studios is undergoing because of it, The Interview fails to live up to the hype (...) a rowdy comedy as it grows duller by the minute (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)" 

"An alleged satire that’s about as funny as a communist food shortage (...) The end result is shockingly genteel" 

"It's stupid. It's in bad taste. It impossible. I know all that. But Rogen's instinct to try anything for giggles and sticking it to dictatorial assholes is worth fighting for. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)" 

"'The Interview' is pretty much what everyone thought it would be before all the trouble started: a goofy, strenuously naughty, hit-and-miss farce, propelled not by any particular political ideas but by the usual spectacle of male sexual, emotional and existential confusion." 

"As political satire goes, The Interview has the comic batting average of a mediocre-to-average Saturday Night Live sketch" 

"While the idea (...) is obscenely funny, Franco unexpectedly goes nowhere with it" 

"Hate to say it, but this film ain't half the satire it could have been. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
