    The Night Before

    Reviewed by

    The Night Before gives you exactly what you'd expect to such a degree, that it's triteness and predictability actually morph into something of an asset. You know what will happen when Seth Rogen's pregnant wife gives him a box of assorted drugs for one last X-mas blowout before the baby is born. You know what's gonna happen when Joseph Gordon-Levitt decides to try and win back the "one who got away". And you know that despite all the adolescent high jinks, drug trips, and fistfights with drunken Santa Clause's, that everything will be ok, and will work itself toward a satisfying conclusion. Yet all this clairvoyance doesn't really present a problem, seeing as how the film is pretty damn funny most of the time. The script is nothing groundbreaking, a lot of profanity and lewd conduct, but some heart as well. Rogen's drug induced adventures are the definite comedic highlight, as well as a few fun cameos, and some clever nods to Christmas movies of the past. Both as enjoyable, and as unremarkable as you'd figure it would be.
