Okay, well this is one of those movies that you're kinda gonna have to check your brains at the door... you know, the "seal them in a bag and then you get them back after the concert" kind of thing. Because the plot is dopey and preposterous, and you really won't need them much to enjoy this movie. But it's fine, you CAN really like this movie, without them. I'm being serious. I did.
It's funny. It just is. Almost all the characters are absurd, and the situation is totally implausible... it's just a vehicle for Seth Rogen to be Seth Rogen and do Seth Rogen things. (He seems to get a lot of hate here, and I don't get it. He plays the same character in every movie, probably just himself, and he's quite often funny). He's funny here too, and Charlize Theron, as a love interest (for Seth? Really??!!) is equally funny (and perfect as ever). It just works. Without your brains.
June Diane Raphael (from "Grace and Frankie") is also a delight. We need more of her. And there are a few NSFW moments, so be warned. Leave your outrage about this with your brains. At the door.
So yeah, despite the "dopey" plot, you should check this out anyway. It's a decent watch, and funny... and we all need to laugh.
