Having introduced the matter of North Korea, however, the film unfortunately does require some attention, if only to disabuse prospective viewers of any hope that it has any redeeming value. Notwithstanding the protections provided by the First Amendment, there is a valid question whether the assassination of any living head of state, no matter how heinous the individual or his regime, is suitable subject matter for a major studio motion picture. If one objects on moral grounds to any such depiction, it's hard to know where to direct one's concern. The Sony Corporation, not to mention the stars and originators of this film, are surely impervious to any objections raised from any quarter, even if Sony withheld release of the film for a few days in order to placate Kim Jung Un himself.

This is a scam and distraction. Obama and traitor Republicans get amnesty and Obamacare off the front page, Sony gets money for a movie flop, and a list around the Internet of people, especially hated conservatives posting and boasting of watching pirated versions for free. The last is not great showing for conservatives and the movie industry has been quite aggressive in pursuing this. Perfect storm.

Kim III’s assassination scene in “The Interview”, like Kim II’s in “Team America”, was obviously played for laughs. (In slo-mo, with “Firework” on the soundtrack? Are you kidding me?) I don’t remember that flick being promoted as a comedy.

It was pretty good for a modern comedy in the Will Ferrell/Rogen category, it was better than almost, or all, from those two.
