Introduction: The Night Before is directed by Jonathan Levine and stars Joseph-Gordon Levitt, Seth Rogen and Anthony Mackie . The story revolves around Christmas Eve, when three lifelong friends spend the night in New York City looking for the Holy Grail of Christmas parties.

Review: This movie was surprisingly really good. Firstly the performances of this movie was great. There were so many laugh out loud scenes. Sure the movie does not have much substance but what really made me enjoy this movie is the fact that it is about friendship and how it changes when time passes by. There were great cameos in the movie. However, I think the storytelling was out of order and the love story does not sell much.

Recommendation: In the end “The Night Before” is a great a Christmas movies to watch with friends.

When Carnal Knowledge (Mike Nichols) came out in 1971, I was twelve. The name sent shivers up my spine.
