An honest review for "This Is The End"

Rating: 1/10 (22 June 2013)

Please, please... bear with me here and read my explanation of my rating below.
I must preface my writing with a few things. First, I never wrote a movie review on this website before. Mostly, because I am too lazy to and there are many other knowledgeable reviewers who already do so (and my views generally resonate with the majority). Second, I purposely registered on IMDb to write this review (because it was so bad). Third, I just got back from watching "This Is The End" at the movie theater.
I first thought my views of this movie was based on my age. Perhaps I am getting old and the new wave of comedic humor is upon us. Perhaps the days of Jim Carrey, Chris Farley, Steve Martin, John Candy, Eddie Murphy, and Dan Aykroyd are way behind us (and that's OK). However..., at age 29, I kinda feel like I'm not missing the boat here.
I love modern day comedians like Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell, but this movie was totally different. It was absolutely awful. I actually laughed (probably the only laughing) at how horrible it was. I almost felt embarrassed how quiet the theater was - embarrassed that these actors consciously made this movie with their reputations tied to it.
James Franco has a few very good movie performances, and Jonah Hill was fabulous in Superbad. Seth Rogen was OK in a couple movies, but was an "OK supporting character" at best. I'm actually quite surprised that he has risen to stardom (or at least some level) as a comedic actor. Quite frankly, I feel it is pathetic.
I recently (last week) heard Seth Rogen on The Howard Stern show. He was promoting this movie. It sounded like a great weekend activity, so I checked the IMDb.com ratings (which I generally agree with), and saw an 8 out of 10. The good thing was, I didn't watch any previews or trailers, so I was excited to go into the movie with any biased (or previous) knowledge of the movie.
This movie was horrendous. Honestly. I have seen hundreds of movies and honest to God, I cannot think of a movie that was worse than this one. The acting was awful - forced and not funny. I am one who loves any kind of humor (nasty, graphic, sexual, inappropriate, etc.), but scenes in this movie tried making fake humor rather than creating it more naturally.
Is this the dawn of a new generation of comedy? Am I (at 29) already old, and in a separate comedic generation? Is 'forced attempts at humor' the new humor - viewers acknowledging that actors are "trying to be funny" and thus, must BE funny? Wow, I sure hope not.
In my opinion... unfortunately, I feel the title "This Is The End" should be a description of these actors' careers. Again - I love Jonah Hill and others in previous films... but this was embarrassing. Seth Rogen was never really good, so I'm not surprised.
