Comic Brilliance

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2013)

This Is The End was hysterically funny at most times, and generally had the audience laughing throughout. Sure there's some rough language, some occasionally tasteless and almost juvenile humor, but it's all in good fun and it doesn't feel forced - all part of guys having a good time and making fun of celebrities. What was interesting was that for a comedy, there was a bit of a storyline, about friendships, about how they can stray and nearly fracture under stressful conditions.
All of the actors filled their parts well: Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, Danny McBride, Jay Baruchel, Seth Rogen and James Franco were great as exaggerated versions of themselves. The actor cameos were great. Michael Cera was terrific as a coked out life of the party, and Emma Watson stole some of the comedy spotlight as an axe-wielding survivor taking on the guys.
Overall, a great laugh.
