One of the funniest movies of the past few years: Laugh out loud, ridiculous fun.
With the amount of talent this has lined up, it would be strange if it was not a good time at the movies. Based on a short film called Jay & Seth vs. the Apocalypse, this movie ups the ante in every sense of the word. The comedy you have come to expect from Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson, James Franco, Jonah Hill, and Danny McBride is top notch. The rest of the cast, all playing themselves, is also played perfectly. Injected with horror in fact, some right out of famous horror films like Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist, this movie also brings the scares and gore, although it never loses sight that it is a comedy, first and foremost.
When Jay comes to LA to party with Seth, they end up hitting a party at James Franco's new, druglord-type mansion. All the celebrities are there: the main cast of 6 mentioned above, Michael Cera, Rihanna, and others that I won't spoil the cameos for. Then, it comes to a crashing halt when the party is stopped by the oncoming End of...
About time!
Honestly, I have grown skeptical of comedies in general, and what James Franco has produced lately has been horrible (spring breakers etc..). But this movie had me laughing like I have not laughed since Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Super Troopers. It was seriously hilarious. Give this movie a chance. I doubt you will be disappointed.
this is the end
it was really funny. crude. my type of humor. some of it was juvenile and tasteless so may not be appropriate for the whole family.
