Let's call this the Rogan/Goldberg "homage" to DOGMA. I think the only thing that could have made it better would have been Jay & Silent Bob coming to save the day with the heavenly host and a chariot-load of weed. Anyway, I'm not a young guy and I have not seen half the flicks this crew has been in but I got to the Multiplex Friday too late to catch "Iron Man 3" or "Man of Steel" and my wife chose this one over "The Purge". Well thank heavens for that because we both laughed our asses off and had a great time. The insane premise worked and one hilarious scene after another followed. Not to ruin it, but a couple of moments were just great. Michael Cera is over the top as a coked out, egotistical sex fiend version of himself. Jay Baruchel using lines from The Exorcist to banish a demon from Jonah Hill was hysterical. So many severely dark, funny moments that I will have to rent this one and watch it again and again. By the way, the effects definitely did make this a big screen thumbs up. And my wife LOVED the musical ending. She had it pegged at the first 5 notes and was doing all the moves. Yet another little homage to Kevin Smith. Not quite as funky as Morris Day and the Time but still pretty slick. I put this right up there with some of my favorite comedy flicks.
