Jul 28, 2015 8:50 PM UTC As a genre, Christmas movies tend toward themes of family togetherness and forgiveness, peace and goodwill. But in the hands of Evan Goldberg and Kyle Hunter, the writing/producing duo behind _Neighbors_ and _The Interview_, the goodwill comes in the form of a small box of drugs given to Isaac (Seth Rogen) by his pregnant wife (Jillian Bell), and the togetherness consists of three bros painting New York City red, green and—this is a Seth Rogen movie—vomit. In the slightly NSFW trailer for _The Night Before_, we meet three friends—Rogen’s Isaac, Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Ethan and Anthony Mackie’s Chris—who have spent every Christmas Eve together since Ethan’s parents died. Now that Chris is famous and Isaac is preparing for a baby, the buddies are spending one last holiday together, and it’s going to be epic—although perhaps not in the way they imagined. Throughout the course of their unconventional revelry, Isaac throws up in the middle of Mass, Ethan dons an elf suit and lady friends played by Mindy Kaling and Lizzy Caplan discuss the merits of Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball.” _The Night Before_ hits theaters on Nov. 25, just in time for a Thanksgiving family outing. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3975737/the-night-before-trailer-seth-rogen/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3975737/the-night-before-trailer-seth-rogen/"},"headline":"Watch Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the Trailer for Christmas Bro Comedy The Night Before","datePublished":"2015-07-28T20:50:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:22:43.051Z","description":"Time to whip out that Christmas (or Hanukkah) sweater","url":"https://time.com/3975737/the-night-before-trailer-seth-rogen/","keywords":["movies","Newsfeed","Movie trailers","Trailers"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt01d9e3e86db2f1c8/69885ce18e0601153046198d/gettyimages-479167796.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliza Berman","jobTitle":"Berman is a senior editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt01d9e3e86db2f1c8/69885ce18e0601153046198d/gettyimages-479167796.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Seth Rogen attends the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball on June 6, 2015 in Los Angeles, California.","caption":"14th Annual Chrysalis Butterly Ball Sponsored By Audi, Kayne Anderson, Lauren B.
