This is the End (2013) - Starring Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, James Franco, Craig Robinson, Danny McBride, Michael Cera, Emma Watson. Written and Directed by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen. Rated R. Now in theaters.
This is the End is hilarious, insane, and original. The best parts of the movie lie in the actors portraying themselves, especially Michael Cera's scenes. Cera's scenes were definitely a highlight of the film. The jokes are hit and miss and the ones that fall flat are of the sophomoric type that one would expect from these guys. But when this movie's jokes hit, they hit hard. It has really hilarious moments, but tends to flounder when it tries to advance the plot, especially in the absolutely insane third act.
If you like the other movies from this group of guys, then chances are you will also like this one. It's really hard to compare this film to anything, because there's nothing to compare it with. But I would enjoy seeing another movie where actors play themselves like this, but without the apocalypse.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
