There is nothing quite like a great, wild comedy. It’s a tough genre to make really well but in recent years the Judd Apatow crew has been able to turn in some really memorable stuff. This Is The Endis the wildest and craziest movie in recent memory.

From the central minds of Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg, This Is The End is the story of the end of the world, as seen in Los Angeles. To be more precise, James Franco’s house during a party. It’s the true end of days and watching this go down with more celebrity cameos and comedy guys of my generation than you can almost count made this movie seem a bit more special to me. It’s a crazy cast with all funny guys playing themselves, turned up a notch. Just seeing the likes of Danny McBride mock Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, Seth Rogan and Jay Baruchel as each other is a scream. There’s a certain amount of real world weight that really works here, it kind of feels like you’re watching a documentary.

While the movie cranks up the crazyiness at every turn (a ton of horrible deaths, absurd and backstabbing behavior, hell spawn walking the Earth and demonic possession!), Jay Baruchel keeps things grounded compared to everyone else. While Seth Rogan holds down the good vibes too, Jay is more unknown and that let’s him stick more to the honest straight man. Now everyone isn’t perfect, which the movie explores, but it’s Jay the sees the movie through starting with his LA visit to hang out with Seth.

Describing any of the funny parts would really ruin the movie as most of it needs to be seen to be believed. That said, the cameos are some of the best parts. Michael Cera steals every scene he’s in, Emma Watson is a real treat to see in a movie like this and there’s a few people they kept a secret that leads to great gags. It’s a movie that deserves and revels it’s R rating so be aware that there is horror violence, adult (haha) situations and a boat load of cursing. It also helps to know the actors, you’ll understand the characterizations and absurdities right away which I think makes the movie work so well.

I had a great time watching This Is The End, made better watching with a big crowd. I’m pretty amazed that they wrote such a movie and got major funding for it. There is some really fantastic special effects that really helps sell the end of the world to the audience. Congrats to the cast and crew for making such a great movie.
