Eat mushrooms first.

Rating: 1/10 (23 February 2017)

It's not very easy to find words to describe this movie. What is obvious, the World would be a better place without it. In general, I find Seth Rogen as some sort of Anti-Midas. Everything he touches turns into excrement. I read a few reviews of the movie (mostly very negative) but I decided to give it a fair chance. I'm not disturbed about jokes about religion nor am I very uptight about being politically correct. Maybe it's one of those misunderstood movies that are actually really good? Fat chance.
What I, like many other reviewers, noticed first was the excessive use of curse words. Not that I have a problem with strong language but if it doesn't serve any other purpose than shock value, it's just lame. And truly lame it was in this movie. Then came the absurdly bad taste in jokes. Not bad taste in the sense of being vulgar or improper but childish, clichÃ©d and simply stupid. I found penis/gay/racist jokes funny when I was twelve years old but not anymore, sorry. If you're an adult and watching this movie makes you laugh, I warmly suggest you take a good, long look in the mirror.
Oh yeah, there was supposedly a deeper message in the movie about being open-minded and not believing what you're told at face value. It's just as bad as Damon Lindelof's sad dabbling with religious themes. Trying to make a very bad script have more depth by heavy-handedly inserting aspects about religion makes it only cluttered and worse.
I did sit through the movie, mostly because I wondered if there would be even one thing that would make me laugh out loud. There wasn't. I snorted once or twice and that poor a reward is just not enough for the pain of tasting through the whole smorgasbord of absolutely untalented directing.
By idiots for idiots, avoid at all costs.
