Just bad, It is shame because I think Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen and Mindy Kaling are fantastic actors. My expectations were a lot higher from this cast. The movie was just boring and not funny at all, and I am usually a fan of Seth Rogen's comedy style movies. This just didn't have anything to offer, I would recommend not wasting your time on this one.

New rule to self - ignore all comedies starring Seth Rogen. Man, that was an awful movie.

So one night I got drunk with a few friends and not wanting to drive I stayed at his house. After the drinking was done we all sat down and watched The Night Before on his DVR. Whilst being drunk I thought this movie was very funny and entertaining. Then we woke up the next morning......not remembering what happened during the movie we all decided to watch it again. By the time it ended all of us laughed maybe once while sober. Jesus Christ this movie is not very good.

A forgetful holiday themed comedy. It has it's moments, but as a whole it comes up short. It is overly raunchy at times and is just not very funny. In conclusion it is pretty much a drug movie filled with big names, but not big laughs.

I am getting tired of Rogen's stoner comedies, this is one film that will not be a Christmas classic.

Fan of all the cast but it was a bit let down. Boring strange and not funny as you thought it will be

6,5/10

Nothing special but way better than I expected

joseph gordon levitt is the most versatile actor of our generation i don’t even care i am right

One of the best Christmas movies of all time. The Night Before has crude, over the top comedy, that will have you laughing from start to end. Join the journey of 3 friends trying to make it to The Nutcracker Ball. Tons of cameos, action, and jokes will make this one of your favorites. ENJOY!

Like barf from someone who ate too much Christmas pudding, The Night Before is an inconsistent mess of random chunks with a couple funny bits in the mix.

As usual, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the best part and Michael Shannon is so good it's pungent (OK, the analogy stopped before this paragraph).

I need to watch more holiday movies this month and this randomly popped up on my feed. I don't know why I didn't watch this in theaters because it was pretty funny. You can tell a lot of the jokes were improvised on the spot (which I love) and Michael Shannon might be my favorite thing about it.

Little Xmas Eve rewatch almost 7 yrs on and I forgot how amazing Mikey Shans Mr. Green was. Best part of the movie. Great chemistry and cheesy fun. Some parts missed, but this was a well done buddy xmas dramedy. 7.4

I don’t get all the hate for this movie. I thought it was a worthy effort. Everyone is expecting a new Christmas Vacation or Home Alone I guess with this cast. It’s obviously not but I still enjoyed it.

Funny.

'The Night Before' makes for very amusing viewing, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen and Anthony Mackie are great together, I like all three actors individually and as a trio they are just as terrific - all give entertaining performances.

Rogen plays the most obvious role for him yet absolutely nails it, Gordon-Levitt is probably the weaker of the three but is still pleasant to watch - as is Mackie. The casting is top notch, with supports like Michael Shannon and Tracy Morgan. There are other noteworthy faces involved too, like Ilana Glazer and Lorraine Toussaint.

The plot isn't anything crazy or distinctive, yet still feels suitably fresh for the vast majority. I will say, though, the film does hit a bit of a wall at around the midway point, but thankfully picks up almost immediately - thanks to a great scene with a couple of fun cameos.

An enjoyable film. It's ridiculous, but they make it work. Recommended.

For better or worse this movie is exactly what you expected it to be. Nothing terrible but nothing that made you think about it three minutes after it ended. At different times I wished that Joseph-Gordon-Levitt, Lizzy Caplan and (the always incredible) Michael Shannon would have just gone off and made a movie of their own.

Such a great Christmas party movie. Great to have a few drinks with! Laugh out loud funny, which is rare for me now days

the first half of the movie was entertaining but after that ive got bored with the seth rogen humor. pineapple express was way funnier.

To start, Seth Rogen is doing all the heavy lifting here, without him there would not be a movie. I like what _The Night Before_ has to say, but Joseph cannot handle the lead role in a comedy like this, and Anthony was miscast. Hell, some of the supporting actors brought move laughs.
The movie seems like it is wanting to land somewhere in the realm of _The Hangover_ or _A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas_, but can't balance the humor with the more serious tones throughout. If this had simply been a cute romcom about JGL trying to win back Lizzy Caplan, I think it would have worked, trouble is it wanted to pack in more story than was necessary. On the other hand, if this had been a typical comedy with Seth as the lead, and two comedic actors - in his weight class - costarring, this would have been amazing.
I can't say I disliked this, but the ending left me feeling nothing more than "oh, okay, it's over now." I'll probably watch this again, but it will only be for Seth's parts - which I was literally laughing out loud during.
