@fonz what is wrong with you hahah. "Rated R for drug use and language throughout, some strong sexual content and graphic nudity."

Why is Netflix removing The Night Before five weeks before Christmas? Not a fan of "Hangover"-type movies, but I do like the three stars, so seeing it was my "last chance", I pressed Play on it. It's the story of three friends with a Christmas night hang-out born out of tragedy, but now they're older and for all but one of them, life has taken over and their friendship is in danger. Shenanigans ensue, some of which vaguely evoke A Christmas Carol or maybe It's a Wonderful Life and others, with plenty of fun cameos and fun performers in small roles as the three leads try to get to a secret party in New York which had been their Holy Grail. Michael Shannon's trash-guru and drug dealer is probably the highlight. I'm just not sure the movie knows what it wants to do. Though the Friendship with a capital F is obviously the theme, each character really DOES have their own shit going on, so this is a drug comedy/coming of middle age for Seth Rogan, a satire on sports celebrities for Anthony Mackie, and a romcom for Joseph Gordon-Levitt, taking place in a kind of parody of other Christmas movies. They decided to make a movie for the holidays and threw a bunch of gags together in what is a bit of a Frankenstein's Santa. Amusing nonsense that can be heartfelt at times, but doesn't really hang together very well.

Haha. Pulp Fiction sets a poor example for kids too... This film was fun if a little silly in places. Made me want to call up my friends for a Christmas reunion. Although this film really put me off drugs. Maybe I should show it to my kids after all?

A social media famous athlete buys weed spoiler

in front of a school and waves it around like the Golden Ticket from Willy Wonka. What kind of message are we sending our kids?

Is this the movie you want to be a new holiday tradition? One that is very aware of other superior films and goes out its way to reference them. My advice is to rewatch the referenced films and forget about this mildly amusing tale of an athlete who avoids his mama on Christmas, an irresponsible lawyer with a pregnant wife that gifts him a cache of drugs and a romance that makes no sense.
