Cheap humor and even cheaper script. Probably the dumbest comedy I've seen in last few years. Kids may love it, but that's pretty much it.

They literally paid Eminem to show up in the film for a minute (which has nothing to do with the movie plot what so ever). As if they added Eminem just to advertise the movie.

Watched the clock more than the movie. It's an embarrassing disappointment to see such poor work from Hollywood--Sony must have been smoking too much pot with Rogen to think the script was at all funny. I think I chuckled 2 times. Very dissatisfied & could not wait for this movie to be over. Don't waste your money but more importantly, don't waste your time. I think Sony exaggerated the hack just to get people to watch this movie because they knew it was going to be a flop!… Expand

the story revolves around to american journalists who are appointed to kill a dictator disregarding that this act would be ethical or not the characters are too stupid to do anything on their own and that's not comedy sure you might laugh at their stupidity but the movie doesn't contain any comedy what so ever except the dick jokes people getting hit jokes and racist jokes ( sorry but I don't like being insulted so it would be hypocritical if I laughed at them I mean dammit can't you make people laugh without insulting another group of people ) I think this sort of movie will make north korean people dislike you because they didn't only insult Kim Jung Un they insulted N.Korea which is a beautiful country with great culture it just happened it is ruled by a dictator and this doesn't put you in a position to laugh at them what if you were in their shoes would you like your culture and country to be mocked regardless of the political situation and I'm pretty sure if N.Korea released a movie about killing a president of a Western country you people would go nuts and the movie would be considered an act of terror and all that freedom of speech you're preaching the world about won't be applied.

The entire plot is set up only to make North Korea look bad, not that it is unwarranted, however none of the jokes were original or actually made me laugh, they just felt forced and did not add to the humor at all. The only part that actually made me laugh was the beginning with eminem and the fight scene behind the cameras during the actual interview.

Overall, this movie got way more attention than it deserved, and it probably would've been just another comedy turd shat out by the film industry like the rest of them were it not for the real-life events that preceded it's release.… Expand

Really though, what would you expect from two stoners who know nothing but potty humor? The Interview has an okay start but ends up being something in the 'worst things you have ever watched' category. This movie extra sucks for all the negative hype it generated only for the payoff to be worth nothing. The world is going to see this movie after all the threats that have been made and digital hacks that have been accomplished and say "They deserved it." For Seth Rogan to go on television and say that this movie wasn't created to cause controversy makes him just as idiotic as this movie was. This movie relies on celebrity cameos and bottom of the bucket humor to keep it going, but again, we've seen the same in every other one of his movies so not sure why I expected anything different. Only difference between this and his other 'great' works are that instead of this one being based in a frat house its based in the in the real life setting of the supreme leader of North Korea WHO just so happens to be a film buff, like his insane father, as well a hot head about global relations at the moment; so for Rogan to say nothing was intended by this movie is a total lie. Maybe years down the road when this conflict is over, yes, but not in the heat of it. If this fat, unfunny stoner really just made things for the world worse over a nearly unwatchable 'comedy' then I vote that it's time for this guy to go away.… Expand

The movie stars Seth Rogen and James Franco with support from Diana Bang, Lizzy Caplan and Randall Park. Co-directed by Mr. Rogen and Evan Goldberg and written by Dan Sterling, the movie, despite its hype and international notoriety, is simply stated, not a good film. No matter how risque or far out a plot or film may be, if it is funny it can be tolerated. This film is neither funny nor clever. It is amateurish, its humor is immature and insulting and some of its scenes contain tasteless conduct that is best characterized as just plain repulsive. More like a home movie made by people with money to pay for good sets, the film is awkward and not worth the $5.99 I paid for it on VOD. If one didn’t know better, it could be thought that the entire "threat" regarding the showing of the film was prompted by the producers in order to invite controversy and interest in an otherwise unworthy and poorly made film. I give it a reluctant one rating. The low quality of the movie "wreaks for itself".… Expand

I'll think twice before going to one of his movies again. The fat slob's movies I never see, but this time made the mistake in the name of freedom of speech.
The brass at Sony Pictures should certainly be immediately Fired for such ridiculously poor judgment. Yes with regard to the subject matter and political fallout, but even more so for the complete and utter lack of any redeeming quality whatsoever for this pitiful excuse for a movie.
It may have turned into an act of patriotism for theaters to show it and Americans to see it with Sony getting more free publicity than any modern movie in memory, but the bottom line is that it sucks so hard that all involved should never work in the industry again.
