Our suggestions
Dave Skylark and his producer Aaron Rapoport are the team behind the popular tabloid-TV show "Skylark Tonight." After learning that North Korea's Kim Jong Un is a huge fan of the show, they successfully set up an interview with him, hoping to legitimize themselves as actual journalists. However, as Dave and Aaron prepare for their journey to Pyongyang, the CIA steps in, recruits them, and assigns them an incredible mission: Assassinate the dictator.
"Famous for sparking the ire of the ruler it parodies, The Interview is a political satire directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg ( This is the End) about a famous talk show host and his producer, who manage to score an interview with North Korea's Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un (Randall Park), only to be recruited by the CIA for an assassination mission. Controversy aside, this is a comedy very much in line with the usual work of Rogen and Goldberg: the humor can sometimes veer into adolescent territory, but the good performances from Rogen, Park, and James Franco, plus a script that dares to mock both a dangerous dictator and incompetent media outlets, make it worth a shot."
