If traditional Christmas fare like Miracle on 34th
Street and It’s a Wonderful Life are, well, a bit
too traditional for your tastes—by that I mean there’s little to no hard drug
use, few if any curse words, and absolutely no close up images of genitals—then
2015 is your lucky year. This holiday season we have director Jonathan Levine’s
The Night Before, and it is crude, crass, sweeter than you
may expect, and, most importantly, really goddamn funny.
