Caught a free preview screening of the new Seth Rogen-written, Judd Apatow-produced stoner comedy last night, and as the ridiculousness got more and more over-the-top and surreal, I kept waiting for a Newhart-esque final reveal where the camera to quickly cut back to Rogen & Franco back on a couch, sharing a joint, one of them saying, “and that’s how my movie would end, dude.”
Don’t get me wrong, I laughed a lot, but the film devolves from silly and almost plausible into something from a comedy bizarro universe over the course of the near 2-hour running time. Coulda been much tighter, and I don’t know if I would have felt satisfied had I paid full price. The exploding Daewoo, however, was awesome.
