This holiday season, if you’re looking for family friendly Christmas movie featuring Saint Nick and some cute reindeer, then The Night Before is not the movie for you.

On the contrary, if you’re looking for a Christmas tale chock full of laguhs, filthy text messages, and lots of partying, then this is the perfect movie for you.

The movie follows Ethan (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), Isaac (Seth Rogen), and Chris (Anthony Mackie); three lifelong friends who have been best friends since childhood. After the sudden death of Ethan’s parents on Christmas Eve, a tradition was created to go out and party like there’s no tomorrow.

Each character’s story arc is thoroughly explained and developed well throughout the movie. They are all dealing with issues from babies to athletics, and throughout the course of the movie, one by one they solve their problems.

Seth Rogen’s character is particularly funny. He is a wealthy Jewish man trying to cope with fatherhood being on the horizon as well as living with his pregnant wife. On Christmas, his wife unconventionally gives him a box of mind-altering substances which allows him to focus on himself for the evening, which makes him confront issues he didn’t even know he had.

Throughout the course of his drug-induced evening, he does lots of hysterical things and gives the movie lots of energy. Watching him interact with inanimate objects when he thinks they’re living people is one of the greatest parts of the entire film.

A supporting cast with Jillian Bell (Betsy), Lizzy Caplan (Diana), and Michael Shannon (Mr. Green) completes the already stacked roster. They bring excellent performances and play pivotal roles throughout the entire flick.

The film was created by the same people who made Neighbors, which happens to be another Rogen classic. The two movies share very similar tones, so if you are a fan of Neighbors, then you would absolutely enjoy this one.

This movie offers a breath of fresh air for Christmas movies. Rather than the classics like Rudolph and Frosty, this one went completely out on a limb and made a movie for adults rather than making a typical, Disney-styled film aimed at kids.

However, due to its crude humor and seemingly endless inappropriate moments, I do not recommend you unpack the family mini-van for this one.
