So Falcon, Robin, and The Green Hornet walk into a bar....

This trailer felt disjointed and the jokes fell flat for me. It went to focusing on their friendship ritual to Seth Rogen having a bad trip. I have faith in all the people involved, so maybe it's just the way the trailer was cut.

The trailer was hitting the mainstream beats but I can see where I can like this. I like those involved sooo.... I 'll see it.

Yep, I agree that trailer was oddly cut but most of the jokes worked for me. I'll see it.

Saw the trailer for this in front of Crimson Peak tonight and it looks atrocious.

The R trailer looks entertaining, the Green Band trailer looks terrible.

The commercials for this looked horrible, but the longer trailer looks decent. Might end up catching this given the good reviews and Rogen's recent stuff has been better then expected.

I may go see it at one of the local pub theaters, could be a good way to start the night.

Saw this tonight and thought it was just so-so. It starts out pretty slow and while there are some funny moments it never really made me laugh out loud for very long. The three leads have decent chemistry but something about the film overall felt off to me. I don't really see it as being something I'll rewatch but I also didn't find it horrible. I'd probably give it a 3 out of 5.

Re: The Night Before (2015, D: Levine) S: Rogen, Gordon-Levitt, Mackie

I watched this last night to a surprisingly packed house for a movie released so many weeks ago and loved it. We watched this over Creed deciding on a holiday comedy instead of something more serious and I loved everything about it and surprised at how bad the trailers were in doing the movie justice as to what it was about and just showing Rogen being dumb instead of the friendship between the 3 leads. It also made me think Joseph Gordon-Levitt should do more comedies like this; love that guy in just about everything he's in. Mackie deserves more work too.

The cast in particular throughout the entire movie, cameos and supporting roles included were great. Loved how creepy Michael Shannon was, and a certain character's cameo was fucking great in the middle of the movie. Maybe I was just in the right mood, but loved it as a christmas comedy. I wish it was marketed better.

Saw this today . Laughed a lot, and actually cared about the characters. Not great, but I think with time this might become another Christmas comedy classic. I loved how it paid homage to other holiday themed movies.

Watched this earlier, I thought it was great movie about hitting your 30s, and it's a very solid holiday movie as well.
