    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. 4 years 2 months ago
