Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
It's certainly smutty-and infantile. Maybe half the jokes miss. But it is a truly savage work.

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. Screw Kim if he can't take a joke.

This is what all the fuss was about?

fresh:
Te best satire provokes and even outrages, and Rogen, Franco and Goldberg certainly succeed on that score.

What's wrong with The Interview is that it doesn't know how to be the singeing comedy it wants.
