The Interview

Lists: Comedy

Brief Synopsis: "Dave Skylark is king of the celebrity interview and host of the hit night time talk show "Skylark Tonight." The brain behind Dave's empire is his producer and best friend, Aaron Rapoport. Unfulfilled, Aaron yearns to do meaningful work. He scores the chance of a lifetime when he secures an interview for Dave with Kim Jong-Un, the mysterious and ruthless dictator of a nuclear-armed North Korea. As Dave and Aaron prepare to leave for North Korea, they are approached by the CIA and asked to assassinate Kim. They accept the mission, becoming two of the least qualified men ever to assassinate – or interview – the most dangerous man on earth."

Rob from GuysFilmQuest75 - The highly entertaining second half made up for a lame start to the film. Randall Park stole the show.
Bryan Lienesch74 - The best thing that ever happened to 'The Interview' is it temporarily being killed. That generated a lot of buzz. Buzz that, on its own merits, 'The Interview' could've never created.

Sober Film Critic James Brown61 - Setting aside the politics of The Interview, I must say that the film starts as one promising satire. As the runtime drags, the film quickly devolves from amusing social commentary to a poorly conceived gag reel on North Korea.
