It cost me nothing but 90 minutes of my time and I still feel cheated

Rating: 1/10 (22 October 2016)

First let me admit I saw this travesty for nothing. Zilch. No money has fortunately been passed to the creators of this juvenile, unfunny indulgent crap. So I write this without being out of pocket. Yet I still feel angry. Why? Well partly because talented animators have spent thousands of hours turning a puerile, witless, uninspired, humourless script into a film that has benefited from international distribution when it should not have left the grubby napkin I assume it was written on. (Though I read somewhere it took Rogen 10 years to write?!) Also because I feel obliged to add this brief review to warn others even though it does not deserve or warrant any further attention or time spent on it. Just so you know this is supposed to be animation for 'adults', Rogen throws in religion, violence,sex, sexuality,drugs,rape, constant profanity - indeed anything where he hopes offence can be generated. If you have nothing funny to say then Rogens' philosophy ( I use the term lightly) is grab all the taboos and chuck them back in the hope the audience at least react. It is a pitiful attempt. It tries so hard it falls flat. You would think the dialogue was written by an overexcited,immature, half-witted teen who had just discovered the word 'fuck' and every character repeating it is hilarious. The only offence I felt was that anyone should feel this was worthy of a positive review. This is vacuous film making at its' worst, and this flop should be avoided.
