Here’s an excerpt from the Los Angeles Times' review titled, "The Night Before’ Adds a Little Something Extra to Christmas movies and Midnight Masses”: “...a curly haired Jewish boy has arrived to remind us of the reason for the season. I’m talking, of course, about Seth Rogen, who stars in and produces 'The Night Before,' a raucous and refreshing new take on the Christmas movie....From a cocaine-fueled diatribe of anxiety in a bar bathroom to a midnight Mass meltdown wearing a blue Hanukkah sweater, he somehow manages to convey vulnerability while behaving like a lunatic. It is Rogen’s particular gift to seem decent while puking in church.” Why aren't the leaders of Judaism up in arms protesting the creation of a movie that uses Jewish symbols to demean and blaspheme Christianities most sacred holiday? Could it be because the Talmud of Judaism teaches that Mary, the mother of Christ, "played the harlot with carpenters?" (Sanhedrin 106a) Perhaps their silence denotes approval of this new movie.
Wise men followed the star to Bethlehem at the birth of Christ. There's no wise men in Hollywood.
