This Is the End

2013 - 1.5/5

This movie was great – for what it was and that is all. Although this movie does have a plot, it seems like a lot of things were added in because they just wouldn’t fit in other movies. It started out like Entourage in which there were several celebrity cameos and nothing was actually happening, then it turned into the first season of Lost in which they’re trying to figure out what to do and stay alive.

I enjoyed watching each actor playing a realistic/fictional version of themselves. At times it was really good, at other times it wasn’t.
The Michael Cera parts were funny. It was nice seeing him in a role that you know is so incredibly over the top, but it worked.
The Jonah Hill parts trying to be friends(?) with Jay were high-larious! He did that so well.

It did drag and at times you think you see the light at the end of the tunnel, but that’s not the case. There just isn’t that much substance to keep the plot afloat, but I did laugh half a dozen times.

I understand why some people would write Seth Rogen off after this movie, but in my books, I really don’t put this movie in the same category as Superbad, Knocked Up, Pineapple Express and Zack & Miri Make A Porno. It goes in the same category as The Interview.

When I say that this was a hot mess, I mean it was 30% hot and 70% mess.
