Yes, this picture is as dumb as it looks in the previews. Yet its status as an international hot potato gives it a certain gravitas it doesn’t have to earn. Seth Rogen movies are notoriously low-brow, yet they keep on coming. And if any topic lends itself to humor, bathroom or otherwise, it’s politics. No one is spared the barbs here, with U.S. foreign policy taking almost as many hits as North Korea and broadcast journalism.
Should You See It? Yes, if you want to see what the flap is all about. And the opening scene is priceless. But be prepared to hear words like ‘butthole’ more times than you ever thought possible. —D.W.
