Film of the year so far!

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2013)

As my review title suggests, I truly believe that is the best film of the year so far. This comedy gets the balance between jokes and plot absolutely perfect as throughout the movie we are constantly laughing and also wondering how they will get out of the apocalyptic wasteland that was once Los Angeles.
I would call this movie the Ultimate "Bromance" as the bond between Seth and Jay is the main storyline throughout the movie. At the start we see that Jay is visiting his old buddy Seth Rogen in Los Angeles and Seth wants him to meet all his new friends so he brings Jay to James Franco's house party. Here we see countless numbers of big name celebrities make cameos from Pop star Rihanna to How I met your mother's Jason Segel. We also see Michael Cera completely intoxicated and high as a kite acting laughably stupid which comes to a climax with his inevitable death due to a collapsing lamppost when he is quoted in saying "Is it that bad?" And "well that's embarrassing" as he finds his lost phone in his pocket as he bleeds out.
Later we find out that Jay had visited Los Angeles before without staying with Seth and he confesses that the two are growing apart. This causes a slight rift in their friendship but they have more important things to deal with as they run from a possessed Jonah Hill and Satan's demons.. Finally as Craig redeems himself to be lifted into heaven and James almost does until he flips off Danny, they are left staring down Satan himself when they make amends and decide to die together. Finally Jay begins to be lifted into heaven and tries to carry Seth who eventually lets go to allow Jay to make it. Of course and Seth starts to enter Satan's fiery mouth he is engulfed in a blue beam which lifts him into heaven with Jay all as Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" is playing to add extra emotion.
In conclusion, although I basically just retold the story. This movie is an absolutely fantastic piece of filmography and I would highly recommend it to absolutely anyone!
