The Interview Review 5/10

Will all the controversy surrounding this film and the question of if it will or won't be released helped get this streaming on Netflix. So, with a night to spare I chose to watch it. Quite frankly, I was disappointed. No need to go into details about the plot as the trailer is pretty self explanatory as well as the political view about it.

I personally felt that Franco tried too hard to be funny with some of the lines he delivers. I can only assume some of it was improvised, but I would bet good money on it. I laughed loudly at some jokes and didn't react to many jokes. The film as a whole wasn't very interesting with some violence that really didn't need to be there.

Maybe with all of the controversy leading up to this film I had high expectations and because of that, I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have. If you're bored and like Franco and Rogen as actors than you may enjoy this more than I did. But for me it was a mediocre comedy.
