A Good Post-Apocalypse Tale That Cannot Be Taken Seriously, But Can Make You Laugh Hard

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2013)

This Is The End is what most would call a parody of celebrity life; in the film all the actors and actresses actually play their real identities; Seth Rogen is himself, as is James Franco and other comedic stars. This in itself adds a new dimension to Rogen's films in respect of him writing the script and directing it. Whilst the end-of-days happens around them, the comedic stars act like anyone would during a Post-Apocalypse film; turning on each other and deciding on matters related to surviving.
This film however also mixes comedy into the dark material, it's clear there are a lot of pokes at religions, identities and even personal bias and prejudice. This mixed in with trying to find drinkable water, and edible food gives us some hilarious moments between the stars of the film. This Is The End was well worth the price of entry, and I would recommend it to fans of Rogen's earlier works for the sheer comedy in it. Well worth the price of admission and snacks.
