VIDEO Watch three NSFW minutes of The Night Before

The guys behind This is the End and 50/50 have a new comedy out for Christmas. It's called The Night Before and it all kicks off with a profanity-laced version of the classic poem as intoned by none other than Tracy Morgan.

We've got the first three minutes below, and be warned its definitely not safe for work due to language.

The opening narration is actually pretty neat, and quickly sets up the state of affairs at the beginning of the film. Despite its trappings, this isn't another feature directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg who made This is the End and The Interview. Instead, Jonathan Levine is at the helm, who has previously made more subtle features like 50/50 and Warm Bodies.

That suggests that while The Night Before will certainly be an R-rated comedy with plenty of silliness from these three leading actors as well as all the drug taking and f-bombs you might want, it might also have a surprising amount of drama, especially given the pretty emotional story of friends moving on and people being left behind.

The Night Before is in cinemas in the US on the 20th of November and arrives in Ireland and the UK on the 4th of December 2015.
