Storyline
In the action-comedy The Interview, Dave Skylark (James Franco) and his producer Aaron Rapoport (Seth Rogen) run the popular celebrity tabloid TV show "Skylark Tonight." When they discover that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is a fan of the show, they land an interview with him in an attempt to legitimize themselves as journalists. As Dave and Aaron prepare to travel to Pyongyang, their plans change when the CIA recruits them, perhaps the two least-qualified men imaginable, to assassinate Kim Jong-un.

The movie was hands down the best cinematic experience I have ever had.
It was a sophisticated roller coaster of emotion that flung and looped
the the center of my being to places I have never been. It has
romance,it has action, and such a splendor of visual effects that that
I literally wept. To put it in perspective I love this movie like I
love my wife, except I'd save this movie from a fire. Before I saw this
movie I had cancer, saw the movie, no cancer. The movie was so
fantastic that time actually stopped. It has a run time of zero minutes
because the creative genius behind it was so great that the the fabric
of time was effectively torn. This rivals the birth of Christ and I
highly recommend this film.
