A lazy and not very funny stoner comedy.
Rafer Guzman, Newsday
Fresh
A smartly built, chemically-enhanced Christmas story about growing up that you can't watch with the grown-ups - at least, not the ones who will get bothered by dick pics.
Matthew Lickona, San Diego Reader
Fresh
A finely tuned comedy machine, a film that not only works as a standalone contemporary project, but one that will come to be viewed in five, 10, 15 years as a snapshot of industry players at their prime, and a handy guide to before-they-were-famous icons.
Barry Hertz, Globe and Mail

When we were first introduced to Rogen in "Knocked Up," there was some novelty to a story about a dopey slacker who learns some family values. But "The Night Before" is just dutifully following a template.
