“The Night Before”

“The Night Before”

Release Date: November, 20, 2015

Sadly, most of the funny moments in this movie are found in the previews. However, there are enough scenes that are not shown in the previews to make this movie a quality watch. Seth Rogen by far has the best moments as his character is strung up on all kinds of drugs while interacting with everyone he comes into contact with. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lizzy Caplan’s characters provide the romantic comedy portion of this film, just in a very adult way. Anthony Mackie is the popular jock celebrity whose personality has changed the most between the three best friends. With every Christmas since a tragic accident involving a drunk driver, the three best friends meet up and dive into their Christmas tradition with no regrets.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars.
