What a beautiful movie!

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Blistering performances.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

James Franco is interesting, in an oddball sort of way, but not necessarily the first person I'd think of to roast. He's certainly done a lot, but the usual honorees have the bulk of their career behind them. Not this guy, which kind of makes it a little more interesting. I thought that the featured roasters were all well-picked, even if not all of them were funny. Basically, the dais was filled with a bunch of his friends, which made it more intimate. I also liked that they didn't go so heavy on the vulgarity, making the subjects a little more diverse than usual. Still...So. Many. Jew. Jokes (Bill Hader's turn as an old Jew in a tracksuit was probably the best instance of this). My personal favorites were Sarah Silverman and Jeff Ross, who have done well in other roasts. Jonah Hill and Andy Samberg were bombs in my opinion. Jonah Hill seemed like he was trying too hard (or couldn't keep his game face on), and Andy Samberg's ironic performance just wasn't funny to me. James Franco's rebuttal wasn't necessarily the best or the worst I've seen, but it was alright. Taken in context of Comedy Central's other roasts, this is certainly one of the more creative ones, even if the end result is rather tame.

James Franco is getting roasted on Comedy Central. Seth Rogen is the roast master. The roasters are his friends. Well at least, they're his Hollywood friends. Bill Hader does a funny character who runs Hollywood. Aziz Ansari is probably the smartest. Half of his time isn't prepared and in response to the other roasters. Most of the roasters are taking as much aim at each other as they do at Franco. Aziz gets a lot of Indian jokes which he throws back at them. Jonah Hill gets a few weight jokes. Sarah Silverman makes a funny joke about Mexicans in Natasha Leggero. She makes it clear what's inside of Leggero. Nick Kroll is ridiculed for being a nobody. Jeff Ross is in cornrows and being a dick as usual. James Franco is probably the weakest but that's kind of expected after the Oscars. He does have some well written jokes. The thing that comes through is that everybody on the show and in the audience seem to really like the guy. He's not being roasted by strangers or hired guns. These people love to make fun of him.

hosted by that rogen whit his "hohohoh im stoned hohoho" material. That dude what got kicked out from deadbeat show snl, and bunch of other jews I have never heard of. That one horse mouth was on that *beep* American pie comedies I guess. Didn't even crack a smile during the whole thing. Are these lame jews supposed to funny? Are they the next generation (Im around their age) of comedy? Feel like dying knowing I wont miss anything. This wasn't even a roast. More like a circle jerk. God I miss the old school guys who were smart enough to overdose and die while being genially funny. Unlike this bunch of these pretentious a holes. Even Jeff Ross looks bummed out whit these kids and nobody bothered to write him good lines this time. Just sad overall.

It is James Franco's turn to step in to the celebrity hot seat for the latest installment of The Comedy Central Roast...I just have one question: why James Franco? Has Comedy Central run out of cultural icons like Hasselhoff and Shatner that they now have to turn to still-relevant figures like Franco? So wrong...Of the comedians, Jonah Hill was the best, which was unexpected, though Bill Hader was decent, too. The rest were okay... Andy Samberg delivered roughly the same sort of style as Kevin Nealon has... it is a strange humor, but more tasteful than the profanity from everyone else. And Sarah Silverman is somehow hanging on to her brief stardom...
