The laughter doesn’t stop during “This is the End”

This Is The End

Rated R, 107 minutes

Being a fan of everyone involved — Danny McBride, Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson — I knew "This is The End" would be funny. But I couldn’t imagine the amount of tears streaming down my face during what is easily the funniest movie of the year.  

            We all know the story, James Franco has a Hollywood party and everyone is invited. Seth Rogen meets his good buddy Jay Baruchel at the airport and promises him a weekend of video games, pot and soda. And it all begins great until Rogen suggests going to Franco’s house for a party. Baruchel isn’t too keen on going to the party, but eventually gives in and off they go. And the party is just as you expected, as James Franco lords over the event, Michael Cera does massive amounts of cocaine and Craig Robinson sings some songs. But then the end of the world starts and various celebrities (including Jason Segal, Paul Rudd, Aziz Ansari, Rihanna) attending the party met their ultimate doom.

Yes, as the trailer gave away, Emma Watson is one of many cameo's in the film 

            Six celebrates including Franco, Rogen, Baruchel, Robinson and Jonah Hill, survive the event and barricade up Franco’s house. They take stock of their inventory and head to bed. The next morning they wake up to find Danny McBride, who passed out early and missed the rapture, cooking up a massive breakfast using all of their supplies. From there, the movie turns into a survival film with these extremely funny people, as they are forced to survive together.

I bet they are all looking at something scary

            The entire cast is very funny, but as I expected, Danny McBride owns the show. I laughed out loud for minutes as McBride and Franco have an argument over where to leave bodily fluids and McBride adapting to hell on earth is truly outstanding. He steals the film and creates some of the funniest moments of the movie... including his interesting pet.

            There’s not a lot of plot to the film, it’s basically just six dudes living together, acting out movie sequels (“Pineapple Express 2”) as the hell outside develops around them. If you don’t like these actors, stay far away from “This Is the End.” But if you find them funny, buy a ticket, strap in and get ready for a truly hilarious movie going experience.
