Much ado about nothing.

James Franco and Seth Rogen have good reason to smile. If there hadn't been as much controversy about their film The Interview it would have opened at theaters, made a modest buck, and disappeared. At least that's what the critical response suggests. Most reports list it as a juvenile political comedy hardly worth the fuss that has been made over it. In the long run I think it hurt Franco's image as a James Dean-like star. His behavior has been so goofy during this entire event it's hard to take him seriously any more. Rogen, of course, has always been a middle weight vulgarian. They should make a lot of money over this cause celebre, but if I were them I wouldn't start writing an Oscar acceptance speech.
