Seth Rogen has certainly proven himself to Hollywood. He
started acting in silly comedies and even worked up into writing them. Heck,
last year he even started directing. His directorial debut “This is the End”
was a hilarious mix of meta Hollywood humor, fantasy-horror, and disaster flick
that was hysterical and satirical. It was a movie that felt larger than life.
It makes sense that his next feature with co-director Evan Goldberg (though Dan
Sterling gets sole screenwriting credit here) would try to top it. And they
certainly have. While “The Interview” isn’t necessarily better than “This is
the End” it shows so much more promise that Rogen and Goldberg are certainly
creative forces to be reckoned with. And they’re certainly not scared of the
evil dictatorship that they mock incessantly in it.
In “The Interview” Rogen plays Aaron Rapoport the producer
of an entertainment talk show called Skylark Tonight. The onscreen host Dave
Skylark, played by James Franco, and he’s as outrageous, cocky, and stupid as
you would expect the host of this type of show to be. In fact I’m pretty
certain that Rogen and Goldberg are more interested in mocking the American
media and the entertainment industry more than they want to mock North Korea.
Speaking of North Korea, it turns out that their supreme leader Kim Jong-un
(Randall Park) just so happens to be a big fan of Skylark Tonight and wants to
appear on the program. Being one of those reclusive leaders, Aaron and Dave
plan to fly out to North Korea to induct what is sure to be the biggest
interview of their careers.
In the meantime CIA agent Lacey (Lizzy Caplan) recruits
Aaron and Dave to assassinate Jong-un because he’s on the brink of starting a
nuclear war. It must be said that hiring Aaron and Dave to assassinate one of
the most dangerous leaders in the world is probably the stupidest idea the CIA
could ever come up with but this is a silly action comedy so we need to just go
with it. Aaron and Dave are briefed on how the plan will work and it seems
anything but a simple task. They’re concerned but they see it as a prime
opportunity – especially Dave who insists that it be filmed as it would be
denying his audience a terrific “money shot.”
When Aaron and Dave get to North Korea they’re sort of
surprised. Aaron is quickly taken in by his surroundings as everything seems
pretty normal. He even meets Kim Jong-un face to face and he seems like a
pretty cool guy. They hang out, play basketball, and even get with the ladies.
Aaron, who is the obvious intelligence of the duo, sees right through the
dictator as he’s known as a master manipulator. Will Aaron get it together or
will he have trouble assassinating the guy who’s starting to become friends
with?
“The Interview” is utterly ridiculous in the best way
possible. All political satires are and should be. It’s easy to decry the film
as being inappropriate, or politically incorrect, or offensive. It’s hard not
to take a step back and realize how crazy the film truly is (though I feel
Rogen & Co are much more interested in making dirty jokes and making fun of
the media more than it mocks North Korea) but it’s also something worth
admiring. Even with all of the controversy surrounding the film, it’s
ultimately just a silly action comedy. It plays on tropes of different genres and feels like a best of.
There are movie and pop culture references everywhere and the film feels like
it was made for the same generation of moviegoers who grew up watching
everything that came out of Reagan Era Hollywood. It even features some
sequences that were genuinely suspenseful. It almost feels like a strange cross
between “Pineapple Express” and “Zero Dark Thirty.”
I’m not saying the film is a classic American comedy, but
those who know what they’re getting into will find much to enjoy. In a way it
feels like a modern (though much more vulgar and graphically violent) version
of “Dr. Strangelove” or “The Great Dictator”; those being political satires
that were controversial in their day. It’s almost like “Team American: Wold Police”
without the puppets. And it’s certainly proof that even today you can’t keep a
good political comedy down. GRADE:A-
