This is the End may probably be the best comedy movie I have seen this year. I don't think that there are any other feature that this can be compared to. Let me tell you this though, the film won't be suitable for everyone.
Storyline
All Jay Baruchel expected coming to LA was a fun time with Seth Rogen with all the wild partying to have both by themselves and at James Franco's housewarming party. Suddenly, the Rapture hits and the Biblical Apocalypse has begun. Now, Jay and Seth are desperately sheltering in James' house for rescue along with a few other friends. Together, they must band together to attempt to survive the end of the world, only for Jay to find that they are all too dumb and superficial to do it until they discover the only way out.
For me, the film has one simple goal and that is to make the audiences burst out of laughter as hard as they can in every turn as the movie progresses. Well, with an ensemble cast that features the talents of James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson; who could doubt the success of this very objective. In addition, there were a lot of crazy cameos from other stars.
As I have said earlier, the film might be not be appealing to a lot people as the movie is filled with your typical adult/sex jokes, violence, foul languages and such. They may be offensive and silly at times but this is what comedy is all about. I always tend not to over think it all whenever I'm inside the cinemas. I went in there to be open-mindedly entertained, and pure entertainment is what I got.
It's a funny movie, overall, and a great watch at that. I recommend to go see this with your group of buddies. This is one of those movies that will be greatly appreciated when you're accompanied by the right crowd. It's surely going to be enjoyed by the whole barkada.
My rate: 4 out of 5
a must seen movie. laugh all you can with your troops. :)
