A comedy trying to hard to be a comedy.

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2013)

I wanted to see this movie since I first saw trailers for it. An gang of extremely funny actors, all playing themselves, together. What can go wrong?
Well the movie was good, but a lot of the jokes I really didn't find funny. I know these guys are more into the really stupid kind of humor, but for a lot of the jokes it went beyond stupid to just unfunny.
That's not to say that there weren't any funny parts because there were. The parts the I found funny I realllly found funny. There were a few chuckles at other parts here and there.
Yes it's supposed to be a comedy but even when there was nothing funny going on you're really into what's actually happening. You're interested in the drama between Seth and Jay. Between Jay and everyone else. Between Danny and everyone else.
Plus I love that they played with the end of the world, and judgement day. I love that they went religious. It brought a kind of I want to say realness to it for me. It plays with something people actually believe. This is the End isn't just a random title for a movie. It's actually saying what it is.
The visuals of the demons, and especially Satan in the end were amazing. The last shot especially, had me in awe. The very last scene with the backstreet boys was probably my favorite part of the whole movie.
I will definitely see it again and actually probably own it. It actually reminds me of what the hangover 3 did. It took a very funny comedy, kept the comedy but played it down just a tad, and added more depth with action and drama.
