    Thought this was pretty good. Middle slightly dragged, there were decent stretches of time without laugh out loud parts. But the last 15 minutes are incredible and overall it delivers on the concept well throughout. Seriously though the last act is batshit insane and fantastic.

    My one complaint is that nick kroll's character sucked. His initial appearance is a good one off joke...then they play it as probably the second most important thread in the plot.

    My coworker is laughing uncontrollably just thinking about this movie.

    I don't think there's one before this that I didn't love.

    That was the worst part of the movie for me. He was pretty much a Jersey Shore stereotype that probably wouldn't even have been that funny in 2010.

    Kroll's character is lite a less charming Bobby Bottleservice (let this sink in, his character is top 5 screen time!!!). I don't understand how anyone can know that character and enjoy the douche. Everything about this movie is piecemeal and lazy. Some of the worst jokewriting I've seen in a long time, repetitive and unoriginal; this movie coasts on the fact that anthropomorphic food items are the ones delivering the lines and the fact that the phrase 'PiXXXar' is intriguing in this day and age. Everybody's phoning their roles in, and save for the opening song/fuck party at the end, I have nothing good to say about this movie.

    If they found a way to make something less ridiculous than bath salts the connection between the humans and the food, and also found a way to integrate that into the film about 45 minutes earlier, then we might have something. That at least dynamically would've brought something to the table and made the plot a bit more interesting to me ( how do these two groups coexist when one needs to feed on the other to live), but what do i know? Seems like this is going to make money hand over fist regardless of what I think.

    I liked this. Right now I'd hold it towards the lower tier of Rogen/Goldberg collaborations, but that's not really a knock. I found myself appreciating aspects of the humor more than I was laughing out loud, though I did enjoy Nick Kroll's animated douche version of Bobby Bottleservice. A lot of my favorite parts of this were visual gags. The douche sucking juice out of the juice box's torn crotch was a highlight, as was the kind of subtle satirization of gendered anthropomorphized animals and inanimate objects in kids movies the movie made by ogling a fucking female hot dog bun.

    The religious thesis wasn't really fresh or revelatory, but whatever, it's more bearable than dealing with most atheists one on one. It was fine.

    Bobby Bottleservice is just such a fucking terrible character himself. There were funny things on Kroll show for sure but that was sooo far from one of them.

    I agree, Seth Rogen says this has been 10 years in the making, so I have to think that jokes about juice-head douchebros and bath salts were probably timely around the time it was written. But it felt stale and they just kept hammering away at it. I felt like I was waiting the entire movie for something clever to happen and it only did twice (the war scene and the ending, just because of how crude it was.) The meta ending was also really odd and tacked on.

    My gf wants to invite her mom to go see this. Is she nuts? I've tried to talk her out of it.

    There were a ton of parents with young children when I saw it. A little girl kept laughing her ass off at the word "****."

    OMG, seriously the Seth Rogen/Edward Norton name drops at the end were so dumb, lol. The more I think about this, the more I'm amazed. But the '10 years in the making' thing helps add a lot of it up.

    I'm glad I'm not alone in my disappointment.

    I'd be lying if I said I couldn't see how others wouldn't enjoy it. For one thing, there's none of the pathos that helps to offset everything else that usually goes on in Rogen's films.

    What.... the fuck....

    Wait, why am I surprised? This country has Donald Trump running for president. Of course mouthbreathers bring their kids to this R-rated gross-out comedy....

    This wasn't very good/funny. Cracked up at the orgy, though.

    My theater had workers checking IDs at the door to the theater. Surprised a theater would have let kids in.
