Die highligen drei Könige

A model of current American comedy capitalizing on humor that is based on alcohol and drugs 90% of the time. Some scenes are definitely great, but we have seen most a thousand times before. Nothing groundbreaking. However, I have a feeling that when one day somebody evaluates these comedies, the scene of a completely wasted Seth Rogen in a church will end up in the first place. I have a feeling that I will never see something similar again and I will have to wait God knows how long until somebody comes up with something even more terrible… if at all. (24.12.2016)

This review is sponsored by Red Bull: A reference-packed romp headed for the most ostentatious Christmas party in New York. The ingenious, doped-up Rogen gives you convulsions in your diaphragm in every other scene. Otherwise, it’s a movie about how important Christmas is for our generation. About friendship, the horror of having a child and the fear of failure at work and in life. Heavy topics doled out one slow drag at a time. And Michael Shannon is great as the Christmas pusher. The scene with a Jew in a church was just perfect. (07.04.2019)

I do like Rogen movies, but this one was a miss. I expect a comedy to make me laugh. Maybe it would happen if I synced with Seth Rogen and consumed drugs as fast as he did. I would die, but maybe I would find my death hilarious. As I was sober, the movie was rather depressing and boring. Three friends go out to party at Christmas, and that’s about it. Sad and boring.

Seth Rogen and his buddies have made another film, mainly just to entertain themselves. But from time to time, they manage to entertain the audience as well. Thanks to their rough humor, which doesn't go too far this time, although the episode with James is great, they manage to keep your attention. And personally, the proposal for the hand absolutely got me. Yes, I am one of those who don't mind Miley. (19.02.2016)
