Even the film's most ardent champions would likely concede that The Interview is a spectacularly weird film to end up at the center of a free speech brouhaha.

It's funny and strange, with an admirably gonzo sensibility, and it approaches the job of mocking Kim with the appropriate degree of joy-buzzer delight.

The suffocating level of redundancy on display kneecaps any legitimate chance the film had at embracing social satire.

A funny, silly, stupid comedy that will make some people laugh, others not so much. Any response beyond that is an overreaction.
