The Night Before

The Night Before (2015) is an American comedy directed by Jonathan Levine — watch it online on iFILM. Three childhood friends have spent every Christmas Eve together tearing through New York City. This year is their last ride, and they plan to make it count.

Ethan, Isaac and Chris are hunting for the legendary Nutcracker Ball — the most exclusive party in the city. Isaac, played by Seth Rogen, is about to become a father and has been handed a very ill-advised box of party favors by his pregnant wife. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Anthony Mackie round out the trio. A cryptic stranger played by Michael Shannon keeps crossing their path, and the night spirals further off the rails with every stop.

Director Levine layers the chaos over a genuine story about friendship outgrowing its old routines. Stream The Night Before (2015) in full on iFILM.
