	Author	Review
United States	Nick Schager Variety	"A raucous drug-fueled ode to the seasonal spirit’s power to help man-children mature into responsible adults (...) Simultaneously vulgar, heady and heartfelt"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"['The Night Before'] will have little trouble connecting with fans of outings like This is the End and Pineapple Express; it offers more than enough laughs"	POS
United States	Russ Fischer IndieWire	"A hangover wrapped in gold foil (...) the film’s mishmash of earnest emotions and weird comedy flourishes never quite feels like a proper cocktail"	NEU
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"I was searching for a metaphor to capture the experience of watching "The Night Before" when a character fell backward into a dumpster full of garbage bags. Thanks, guys! (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Peter Hartlaub SFGATE	"'The Night Before' was clearly even more fun to make than it is to watch (...) But there’s still plenty of laughs left over for the audience, and the aggressive randomness of the script fuels some genuinely inventive comic moments.	POS
United States	Stephanie Merry The Washington Post	"'The Night Before' is hardly a Christmas miracle, but it's good for a laugh or two. And that's not a bad way to get into the holiday spirit"	POS
