This is the End; Strong language weak acting

Rating: 4/10 (17 September 2013)

This is the End should never have been. Billed as a comedy/fantasy, the audience becomes lost in the deviant dialogue during the first five minutes of the actors' performances. James Franco, Seth Rogen and array of actors portray themselves as they wander through one of the worst scripts to emanate from Hollywood this year. Our cast of protagonists drug themselves to the point of passing out during the film's numerous scenes. Bathroom humor is employed throughout the movies 107 minute running time, to draw out the minimal acting abilities of the cast. In the event I reveal the plot, most would deter from seeing this train wreck.Franco's usual arrogance permeates the film from the moment he is on the screen. Rogen, an Adam Sandler wannabe, appears to bastardize his few lines on purpose. In the event you are seeking a movie to detach yourself from reality for a few hours, look somewhere else.
