We already have: "...decidedly mediocre and bulky"Vox.com, "... very amusing, very imbecilic film"The Guardian, "a goofy, strenuously naughty, hit-and-miss farce, propelled not by any particular political ideas but by the usual spectacle of male sexual, emotional and existential confusion."New York Times and "The Interview displays all the mindless excesses that repressive regimes condemn in Hollywood movies.”Time. So not all good.

I just finished it. Good stuff, would've gone as high as US$7.99. I may be crazy, but it seems the only unfunny character was Kim, which may have been intentional, to lend credibility to the notion that he wanted to burn it. Meta, man. But even before then, it seemed like a stunt to me. Online viewers are easier to track for demographics, and no real American likes being told they can't watch something. Honeydicking is the word of the day. "Give the people what they want! It's the first rule of journalism!" Or circuses and demolition derbies.
