Funniest film of the year!

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2013)

This movie is funny, like really funny. As I'm sure you know from the trailers it's a bunch of young Hollywood actors playing themselves as they attend a party at James Francos house and suddenly find themselves in the middle of a biblical apocalypse. The movie works so audaciously well because the events happening although outlandish take themselves pretty seriously. So in essence like Shaun of the Dead it's just a bunch of funny actors playing versions of their real selves dealing with it as if it were really going on. The main ones are James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson, Jonah Hill and Danny McBride. Many other celebrities show up for the festivities like Michael Cera ( a scene stealer), Channing Tatum, Rihanna, Mindy Kailing and so many more. Many jokes are made at their expense and it culminates into a bizarre, wild experience unlike anything you've seen before. A smart script and smarter direction compliment the material and although it feels a bit long especially for a movie of this type you'll find it hard to see something funnier or more clever this year! 4/5
