Rating: 9/10 (11 July 2013)

I had been looking forward to this movie as soon as I heard it was being made, as I'm a huge fan of the majority of the actors in this movie. I got pretty much what I expected and also more.
The story is pretty simple, Seth Rogen & Jay Baruchel head out to a party at James Franco's house, filled with plenty celebrities, when the apocalypse comes upon them. the movie pretty much follows how the survivors deal with this bleak situation. To be honest, I do feel the story was probably not the first thing they thought of, its more a case of lets get together with our friends & take the mickey out of each other & play up to our perceived selves, which works out very well!
The effects for this movie were much better than I had expected, as well as much gorier, but it was more for comedic effect than ultra realistic horror territory. Add to the mix so far of a fantastic cast, good effects & an OK story a great soundtrack, although quite mainstream, it was very fitting from the likes of "The Next Episode", MIA's "Paper Planes" to "Gangnam Style". again, nothing felt out of place, or put in for the sake of it.
You can tell that this movie was fun to make for all of the guys involved, so many laughs & absolutely ripping it out of each other, from the geeky James Franco to Michael Sera's over the top loudmouth & obnoxious character, as well as topping it off with Danny McBride being the bad ass you would expect! I cant wait for a home release to see the out-takes, you can imagine there would be plenty!
You put all that together & you have a hilarious movie, which is a little gory & maybe doesn't have the best story in the world, but your there to see the guys all make you laugh. If you love the likes of "Superbad", "Pineapple Express" & "Eastbound & Down", this is the movie you have been waiting for!
