CGiii Comment
If it this was even funny - in the slightest - it would still be rubbish.
Basically, this is an advertorial for drug-taking...
Yes, babies, those mind-altering substances...can alter your sexuality. Imagine snuggling up to the mightily talent-less-ness of Seth Rogen...here, he is mightily impressed with bi-James Franco's willy...
The message is clear...take drugs and experiment...sexually.
And then there's an appearance by pansexual Miley...pansexual? What a load of bollocks! Pansexual bollocks...yeah, that decribes this film rather well.

The(ir) Blurb...
Ethan (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), Isaac (Seth Rogen) and Chris (Anthony Mackie) have been friends since childhood, and for a decade, their yearly Christmas Eve reunion has been an annual night of debauchery and hilarity. Now that they're entering adulthood, the tradition is coming to an end, and to make it as memorable as possible, they set out to find the Nutcracka Ball - the Holy Grail of Christmas parties.
This comedy follows three friends throwing their last wild party before settling into grown-up life. While high, one of the men, Isaac, accidentally switches phones with a female friend and begins receiving intimate pictures from a man. The film manages to subvert the response of most buddy comedies as Isaac is intrigued, responding with compliments rather than panic and disgust. Later that night, he and the female phone owner meet the man, James, at a bar. James openly flirts with both Isaac and his female friend before eventually leaving with the woman after Isaac walks away. Pansexual singer Miley Cyrus also appears as herself in a brief cameo. For raunchy “bro comedies,” the inclusion of a bisexual character and the central character’s acceptance of it can be read as a hopeful - if small - sign of progress.
PROGRESS?!? He was on drugs!!!
Let us not extrapolate...but, GLAAD are you advocating the taking of drugs?!?
