Interesting setup, OK start and finish, but meh in between

Rating: 4/10 (18 August 2018)

The idea of seeing how a bunch of spoiled actors face the Apocalypse is interesting and the start of the movie gives a nice enough introduction in that regard. It's a little funny also.
But, then things just get weird, in a sort of a failed parody of the disaster/horror genre. It's not very fun, funny, interesting or imaginative. There are about 2 good jokes in this "middle act". Obviously, much of this was supposed to be funny, but isn't. Like when Jay keeps saying the "The power of Christ compels you" ("The Exorcist" reference) to the possessed Jonah, to no avail.
The end is better, mostly the music is better, there's a weird Backstreet Boys cameo that works, it's fun (though still not very funny) and it wraps the story in a nice way (as far as comedies go).
It's a _big_ misfire (and a shame, really), not worth a watch - unless, of course, if you like misfires.
