REVIEW OF THE NIGHT BEFORE
year: 2015 cast: Seth Rogen, Anthony Mackie, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Shannon, James Franco |
Movie Poster |
Overall, NIGHT is basically an odyssey "road movie" taking us from one location to another, and some situations are funnier, and less contrived, than others. When the group sporadically breaks apart, the buddy comedy vibe can, at times, become somewhat "serious" as there's an underline theme about growing up and settling down. Meanwhile, scene-stealer Michael Shannon plays Mr. Green, a strange, mesmerizing phantom pot dealer, and could have had his very own movie with the trio as guest stars.
RATING: ***1/2
