The Night Before is not your traditional Christmas family movie. It is actually not a family movie at all. This Christmas comedy came out on November 20th of this year and it stars the handsome, Seth Rogen (Isaac), Joseph Gordon- Levitt(Ethan), and Anthony Mackie (Chris), with a special appearance of Miley Cyrus. (Spoiler:) The movie overall, was that three best friends celebrate Christmas Eve together, every year, since Ethan’s parents have died in a car accident. Unfortunately, the tradition had to come to an end due to events in their own personal lives. Isaac was becoming a father, Chris was too social media famous, and Ethan was struggling with getting noticed with his music. They all decided to have the last and best Christmas Eve that they’ve ever had, with the help of drugs and tickets to a mysterious party called that nutcracker ball. Before they began their crazy night, Isaac is given a gift by his wife. The gift was a box filled with every drug in the world that she had bought online, but the proportions were in inconveniently small sizes. That didn’t stop him from taking them all, and doing inappropriate, immature, embarrassing, and cringing things. Some including; hallucinating a talking demon baby, accidentally sexting another dude, and holding a deep conversation with giant figurines in a nativity scene outside the busiest church in the city. Things fell apart before the friends get to the giant Nutcracker ball. Many factors get in the way of them sticking together which causes many arguments between them. With the help of their old school friend, and drug dealer, Mr. Green, they are shown their Christmas past, present, and future by smoking out of his magical bowl. They did this, mind you, in his car, parked right under a bright obvious light, on a public street. Mr. Green turns out to be a knock-off Great Gatsby and hosted the entire ball that only certain special people can go to.

The movie ended in a way that personally made me satisfied. This film was hilarious and creative, so I would enjoy seeing it again. It made me feel lots of  adrenaline, and made me I’m a very happy mood. I enjoyed the film and theater very much. I give this a rating of  5 out of 5 paws.
