half good, half bad. Funny in part but it went too far.

Rating: 4/10 (3 July 2013)

Don't know how to review this. It's funny and a rather unusual premise - all the characters in the film are the actors playing themselves, in LA, at a party at James Franco's house, when strange goings on start happening: It's the end of the world, Apocalypse style! There are a lot of laughs but suddenly it all goes downhill and the jokes go from amusing and bawdy to highly aggressively sexual and in that context its just not funny. Ever. And in the cinema big laughs went to embarrassed awkward laughs. It was too violent and too crude, but still punctuated with amusing bits. I won't lie, it was entertaining and theologically speaking (yes, I said theologically) I liked the Bible reference and how good triumphed over evil and it highlighted that God wins over the Devil. Haha! Rapture, the beast with seven heads, the Book of Revelation and loving thy neighbour aside, it was just on the right side of irreverent and wasn't offensive to Christian views although close to the bone on just about everything else. It handled the Bible bits rather respectfully - and I can't believe I'm saying that of such a horrendously rude film! Rude, crude, violent, drug use, sexual reference, sexual acts, reference to sexual acts, scenes of a disturbing nature, flashing lights, cannibalism, Channing Tatum in a gimp mask (disturbingly gorgeous still!), demon possession, nudity, bad language... funny - hilariously so in parts - but too much of the above to make it a good film for me.
