The Interview

"Grandpa got it from Stalin." - "In our country we pronounce it Stallone." I honestly didn't expect such a good comedy and I tip my hat to the filmmakers for not just riding the wave of poking fun at Kim Jong-un all the time (although of course that's what they're all about), but that in fact a lot of the good jokes are not about him. I'm also glad that it went pretty well without feces and the only body fluid used was blood (the finger biting amused me perhaps most of all). (23.07.2016)

In a rather dumb way, pure genius. Free promotion doesn’t make The Interviewer any better a movie, but it gives it another dimension of wittiness. The Rogen/Franco duo follows up on Pineapple Express and is more or less on the same level. If you expect anything more, you’ll be disappointed. Absurd situations, often overdone humor, but the gleeful, almost childlike joy with which the whole movie is filmed makes up for that. And the finale shootout with the puppy, the slaughter with the Korean girl and the tank just super. Kate Perry is just evil. Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!" As you shoot across the sky-y-y. (25.12.2014)

Again, one heavily offbeat and heavily chatty comedy, in which Seth Rogen and his buddy James Franco from their ha ha group appeared. For me, however, again only three stars, because the humor seems completely the same to me as all their other films. I hang in there for a while and then suddenly realize that I am terribly bored for ten minutes. Anyway, the idea is great, that must be said. (29.12.2014)

Very good, any intelligent person can tell that this is just a joke. Seth Rogen and James Franco are a perfect duo and here they prove it again. Great humour, a decent idea, great pace and especially the action and gory ending were very nice. The scene with the tiger was magical for me. This Is The End was crazier, but I had a great time here too. A solid 80%. One of the most controversial films ever. (01.01.2015)

I had plenty of fun, but This Is the End was much better. Seth Rogen’s style of humour is certainly not the most sophisticated, but his comedies deliver the dialogue exchanges and the faecal jokes in such a smart way that they are very funny and as effective as possible. Sometimes that’s the case here, too, but several times I felt that it was an improv one take. This is the impression I got from the quality of the humour and not a statement that I can substantiate with anything. I also had a problem with James Franco’s character, who at times goes so full-retard to the point that he’s obviously not full-retard. (26.12.2014)
