What’s Aged the Worst?
Franco context, party length, 3D television, and weed culture
The party is considered five or six minutes too short, while Craig Robinson’s departure could be shortened. James Franco’s centrality and onscreen friendship with Seth Rogen are uncomfortable in light of their later estrangement and Franco’s disappearance from major films. Emma Watson’s discomfort with improvised material is discussed with Seth Rogen’s later acceptance that communication failed. 3D televisions are identified as a dated technological fad. The movie’s heavy marijuana culture is judged less funny after legalization and saturation. The proposed Hitler scene remains disputed rather than a unanimous missed opportunity.
