Jonathan Levine’s “The Night Before” is another Seth Rogen joint in which the talented comedian/writer faces adulthood, learning that friendship can survive the journey to maturity. Throughout the raucous, drug-fueled comedy, Rogen’s character and his best friends speak repeatedly of this being the last such bash. It made me wonder if Rogen wasn’t heading off criticism of repetition in the past—yes, we’ve thrown this party before in films like “Knocked Up,” “This is the End” and “Neighbors” but this is really the last time. Whether or not that’s the case, “The Night Before” is a well-intentioned comedy with some big laughs and some big misfires, but it ultimately works because Rogen and his well-cast buddies ground it in a way that makes them likable. A killer Michael Shannon supporting performance never hurts either.
One of 2023's biggest and dumbest creature features is making waves right now on streaming around the world.
