Awesome movie, reflecting how torn apart our country is right now! I was stressed out so much watching this! The opposing view points are so real! Basically, the sitting president wants all citizens to sign a loyalty oath to the U.S.A., and this quickly divides the country. Chris, the main character, is adamantly opposed to this, and on the other hand, his brother, and his brother's girlfriend, are extremely supportive of this. And the rest of the family, in Chris' house for Thanksgiving, fall in between. The hateful dialogue between the two sides makes for an extremely real, and stressful, viewing. And as much as I personally support Chris' viewpoint, he is often the "bad guy" , stirring it up way too much. And when two government agents come to his home, well, this movie blows up! A really good movie to watch and discuss. Tiffany Haddish is awesome in her role, and I also liked John Cho's almost understated performance. And it really didn't shock me to see in the credits that the brothers are really brothers in real life! They interact just like it! I just really can't get over how great this film is! Wow!!!

But, who in the heck kidnaps Seth Rogen? Wtf?
