Nothing amazing, but pretty damn fun!

I really enjoyed this film. Its light and breezy, full of good laughs, has a decent collection of characters, and a decent plot to boot.

The chemistry between the three leads, Gordon-Levitt, Rogen and Mackie was fantastic. I loved all of them in this film and found them very enjoyable to watch together.

In terms of plot, I appreciated the simplicity of it. Sometimes comedies can get a bit carried away and self involved, and try to construct an overly complicated and farcical plot, but this one was nice and simple. Beneath the simplicity was a decent amount of character development which I thought was quite well done.

The comedy was pretty good too. I've never seen Seth Rogen fail to sell a comedy, so its not surprise that the film was funniest when he was on screen. A particular scene with him at a church service was a real highlight for me.

Any comedy lovers be sure to give The Night Before a go as I don't think you'll be disappointed!
