This Is The End

If you need a good laugh, look no further, this treasure of a film is the funniest comedy I have seen all year, probably longer. I was laughing non-stop from beginning to end. If you're not familiar with the premise, the film follows Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, and Danny McBride, all playing fictionalized versions of themselves. The film begins as Jay comes to visit Seth in L.A. and they go to a party at James Franco's house where all the celebrities are going wild. As the party goes on through the night, the Apocalypse (as foretold in the bible) begins! After all the other celebrities are brutally (and hilariously killed) the 6 men must barricade themselves in James's house and ration what little food and water they have. Little do they know, they are not alone....

All of the celebrities at James Franco's party gather outside of his house to watch to their horror as a giant sinkhole to the pits of Hell opens right in front of them.

   Some of the things I liked most about this film were that they actors were able to make fun of themselves with the films they had been in before. There is even a scene where they make a home-made, Pineapple Express 2. After they become trapped in the house, you kind of forget that the film takes place during the apocalypse, meaning demons are running loose. I literally jumped out of my seat at one point during the film. Of course all of the humor is extremely crude, anyone who has seen any of the other films with these actors will know this. I was also really surprised at how high of a budget they got to make this film. There are actually amazing, and unique special-effects. All things considered, this is a great film. If you love raunchy comedies and apocalypse movies, this film is right up your ally.

Film Rating: 9/10
