Take Yo Panties Off! (Spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2013)

Wow.
I walked into the movie theater with my friend, expecting just a regular comedy about the end of the world with bad special effects. Boy was I wrong. We both walked out of the theater, laughing, and completely blown away by the execution of the movie. The story is, quite bluntly, Seth Rogen, Jay Bareuchel, James Franco, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Jonah Hill are all hunkered down in Franco's new mansion while the apocalypse ensues.
The comedy is great, very consistent and no jokes really fall flat. I was worried for this movie, because each time a comedy is released all of the good jokes are ruined in the trailer to lure people in. Not with this one. If you were a fan of Pineapple Express or Superbad, you will probably love this movie just like I did. Not since "Ted" have I genuinely laughed so much while watching a movie at the theater.
Performances are great as well. The idea to just ditch creating new characters and having the actors play themselves made everything twice as funny given the situation, And I have to give credit to Danny McBride for stealing the screen nearly every time he appears, but the interactions supplied by the others really made it perfect. They are not exactly playing themselves, though. They are playing dramatized versions of themselves, for example Michael Cera isn't actually a coke sniffing pervert.
The combination of end of the world/comedy and even some scary/unsettling parts was great and worked for the tone of the movie. For example, there is a scene where a man pokes his head through a hole in the door of James Franco's house, begging the actors to let him in. All of a sudden he is decapitated, and his head, gushing blood and all comes rolling towards the group, they proceed to kick the head around, terrified and screaming. For some of you, you may be reading this saying "Oh that's disgusting, how could you laugh at that?" People sometimes forget there's such a thing as "gross out humor" and it isn't always a poop joke, it's just a man getting decapitated is much more mature gross out humor.
And last, the ending. I will not spoil the ending, but my god...I did not see that ending coming based on the previews. Me and my friend were laughing uncontrollably, while cheering at the screen the whole time. I am glad that I did not spoil myself before seeing the movie, because the payoff was spectacular.
10/10 This is going down as one of my all-time favorite comedies!
