One of the Funniest Movies Ever

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2013)

I usually don't find that much at the movies worth laughing at these days due to weak plots, weak scripts, and over used jokes. I've seen all of the Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen films and some I find entertaining and others I find disappointing. This, however, was hilarious. I went to a 5:15 screening on opening day and had to buy tickets in advance 'cause it was going to sell out, which it did. Meaning, everyone cut out of work early or were unemployed, and had to see this movie. I was afraid that all the funny things would be in the previews or that the trailer would sell it as really funny but then it wouldn't be, but, it was as funny as I had hoped...though, it was not an alien movie, which is what I thought, but that's fine. The only other movie I've laughed as much in the past 10 years has been 'Bridesmaids,' and probably the only thing other than that is 'Airplane,' which I've see at least 10 times.
I really feel I need to watch this movie again because it's non-stop jokes, and so I feel I need another viewing to get more out of this movie. Another thing is the movie is totally original. The only thing I could remotely say it resembles is 'Ghostbusters,' though, this story is very different. The performances were all great. I spent the majority of my 20s hanging out with celebrities and going to their house parties, and so if you were ever wondering what they're like, this movie was spot-on. Michael Cera playing the obnoxious, pervy actor, Jonah Hill playing the possibly gay, somewhat femme actor, the over the top bro love from James Franco towards Seth. They pretty much played out what actors probably would do in case of an apocalypse.
I don't even want to go into the lines from this movie and what happens and spoil it for anyone, but the whole crowd at the theater was laughing the whole time, having a good time, and my friend and I were quoting the movie and recounting the funny scenes throughout the rest of the night.
I read a few comments saying it was all potty humor and sexual gratuity and drugs? It was very low, especially considering what is normally in these guys films. And, why would you see one of their films if you're easily offended? This film was actually pretty tame and low on the offensive scale compared to a lot of what is out there today. I almost feel like the people that gave it the bad reviews either went in their with the intention of not liking it, for whatever weird, psycho reason that is, or realized, like me, that it was not aliens and it was a biblical apocalypse, and got offended that that kind of humor and the bible were in the same movie. Again, why would you see a Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill movie if you're easily offended? Oh, and the people who thought this was dumb and humorless I bet you they love shows like 'Everybody Loves Raymond' and 'Mad About You,' shows that are generally popular but pc and void of flavor or humor.
This was extremely funny, very well written, and I absolutely loved it. I don't even have any complaints 'cause I got absolutely everything I wanted from it and more.
