I liked it. Not as funny as This is the End, certainly nowhere near the great satires like The Great Dictator and Doctor Strangelove, but overall an entertaining movie. It's interesting that the North Koreans are evidently so unhappy with this movie, perhaps because of the chance that the tiny percentage of the population that speaks English and watches bootleg Western movies could get their hands on it. It reminds me of Sidney Reilly's plan to publicly de-pants Lenin and Trotsky, thinking that public ridicule would destroy the Bolsheviks. The Cheka concealed the very idea of this plot existing, because they thought it would be harmful to let the public remember how much the revolution depended on the charisma of the leaders. The Interview is a silly movie but it also has a clear message about Kim Jong-Un betraying his people, so it's basically a call to revolution.

I loving love 21 Jump Street, 22 Jump Street, This is the End, and The Interview. I didn't think Pineapple Express was very funny.
