A Lukewarm Horror Comedy - not here nor there

Rating: 1/10 (27 July 2013)

We learned to expect much more from Rogen, Baruch, Franco and team. The result is disappointing, experimenting with horror movie clichés and trailing the border between comedy and horror. In the end, we have a mediocre story line which simply scares those who just want to see a good comedy, while appealing to gore graphic images that may perhaps excite bored teenagers. The cast is good as usual, but they do not sustain interest. The intellectual level of the directors could certainly have maintained interest without having to resort to cheap frights during the movie. I have to admit, however, that those unwanted sudden scary scenes did manage to prevent me from falling asleep. My expectation is that they try to stick just to comedy with less drugs in the next movie.
