The best end-of-the-world, demonic possession, rapture stoner comedy ever made (and likely the only entry in that genre) THIS IS THE END is laugh-out-loud funny from beginning to literal end.
Seth Rogen directs, writes and stars as himself, partying with a host of celebrities at James Franco's house when the rapture hits.
Watching this barrel full of stars play exaggerated versions of themselves is hilarious and they are fearless in pushing the envelope in this very NON-family friendly comedy.
Everyone from Craig Robinson (The Office), Emma Watson (Harry Potter) to Channing Tatum show up to lampoon themselves in a consistently funny script.
Michael Cera is especially fearless in portraying himself as a complete ass and Jonah Hill has a lot of fun playing himself as an actor that may have grown out of his old set of friends since his Oscar nomination.
All the stars end up at James Franco's house and he has a hell of a lot of fun mocking his own image as the earth opens up, the good folks fly up to heaven in beams of light and demonic creatures roam the Earth.
Danny McBride gets plenty of laughs as the world falls apart, and the film just gets better and funnier as it goes.
For me, the highlight is the funniest exorcism ever filmed as the boys try to save a VERY possessed and violated Jonah Hill. This sequence is followed by a hilarious Road Warrior take off and then a conclusion I can't describe, but doesn't disappoint!
Adult, Foul, Hilarious and filled with great one liners, hilarious special effects and a massive cast of familiar faces, THIS IS THE END delivers more laughs than any movie I've seen this year.
Watch out for those demons, they're packin'.
A hell raising trip that burns an A.
