Trigger warning the movie

Rating: 7/10 (25 July 2016)

Jay Baruchel and Seth Rogen attend a celebrity filled party at James Franco's house and while Jay takes some time out to debate if whether or not he fits in within the superficial and excesses-filled Hollywood lifestyle, chaos starts taking over the world. Earthquakes, sinkholes, fires and just overall madness starts happening as hell breaks lose (Pretty much literally). Jay witnesses several people getting beamed up to the sky while others remain, including all the celebs back at James' house. An earthquake and sinkhole right at the house forces the celebs to flee and many of then die while a few find shelter inside James' house. Now these five guys need to figure out how they can survive the madness inside James' house in the hopes of getting rescued alive while the also figure out exactly what is happening.
While I have my reservations when it comes to American comedies, specially ones involving half of the actors featured in this one, I have to admit several moments did make me laugh or at least had me intrigued by the narrative. The actors play a caricature of themselves which leads to plenty self aware jokes about their careers and the Hollywood industry in general. This movie is extremely over the top and doesn't take itself seriously at all. It is the kind of self aware humoristic flick that I would expect when you put names like Jonah Hill, Franco, Rogen and Craig Robinson together. Heck, even Rihanna and Emma Watson show up because why not.
The movie overall is nothing to claim awards for, the special effects are cheap which only add to the ridiculousness of all, and the choice for humor in this movie, just so you know, is not for the easily triggered. Body fluids, gore, drug use, rape jokes, everything pretty much goes. What made me enjoy this movie is seeing how far these people would go to expose and ridicule themselves and their own industry inside the ridiculous setting they are placed in. It is certainly a nice experiment that pushes the movie forward. Without this it wouldn't have had the same impact nor shock value.
In conclusion, you can live without ever watching this. But if you do make sure you do so with friends and with a few drinks if possible. And popcorn. Don't forget the popcorn. It's fun and it gives no f***s, and sometimes that's all you need.
