Leave your thoughts about The Night Before.
| BuzzFeed NewsAlison WillmoreThe Night Before is a raucous comedy with a sweet soul that's tremendously uneven... But there's a mournful poignance to its depiction of long-term friendship that comes from how its tensions about maturity have been internalized. |
| Deadline Hollywood DailyPete HammondBut one of the unquestioned highlights is when the boys come upon that giant piano Tom Hanks played in Big. This leads to a great musical sequence among the three and is representative of the goofy anything-goes nature of the whole movie. |
| TheWrapDan CallahanIt’s as if the makers of The Night Before have it in them to make a touching and funny movie but instead throw that chance away by not taking what they’re doing seriously enough. |
| John Hanlon ReviewsJohn HanlonA hilarious Christmas comedy that deftly mixes drug-fueled humor with holiday sentimentality. |
| Screen InternationalTim GriersonA so-so stoner film where the premise is almost always better than the execution. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA mishmash that almost never earns a laugh or even a smile, but isn't particularly touching or insightful either. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda Cook'The Night Before' is a joyous Christmas bauble ... and it's only for grownups. |
| Cincinnati CityBeattt stern-enziThis Night isn't very silent, thanks to a cache of drugs, a gaggle of celebrity cameos and infighting among the fellas, but the good-natured buzz is definitely mellow. |
| Globe and MailBarry HertzA finely tuned comedy machine, a film that not only works as a standalone contemporary project, but one that will come to be viewed in five, 10, 15 years as a snapshot of industry players at their prime, and a handy guide to before-they-were-famous icons. |
| Reel Talk OnlineCandice FrederickWhatever, it was light, at times stupid, but entertaining and I was never bored. |
