Theater Whore: This Is The End

I put off for a long while watching This Is The End and I’m not quite sure why. It has done well but I have only heard from one person I knew that it was good. So I finally watched it and laughed my damned ass off. This was one of the funniest movie I’ve seen since Tropic Thunder and Stepbrothers. This is about a bunch of friends, all celebrities, that end up experiencing the end of the world during a party and trying to figure out how to survive it.

Jay Baruchel shows up to meet with his friend Seth Rogen to go to a party. Jay isn’t all that excited about going since he doesn’t really know the people there and had a particular hatred for Jonah Hill. They spend the day getting high and then head over to James Franco’s house. Jay manages to upset Craig Robinson, Emma Watson, and witnesses Michael Cera, who is creepy and high as fuck, getting a blowjob and his ass eaten while drinking a Capri Sun in the bathroom. Rihanna ends up slapping him for smacking her ass. 

After Jay and Seth head to the store suddenly there are explosions and people are zapped with blue light that sends them floating into the sky. Jay and Seth race back to Franco’s home and everything there is fine. They don’t believe anything until earthquakes happen and a hole opens up outside and folks start falling into a fire pit. 

The movie then focuses on Seth, Jay, Franco, Jonah, and Craig gathering food and supplies to survive. Their rationing is working until Danny McBride shows up during the middle of the night and cooks almost everything in the kitchen. He ends up wasting what little water they have, cums all over the one porno magazine they have, and ends up being voted out of the house. Meanwhile Jay is trying to convince everyone that this is the Apocalypse and that they need to be nicer to go to heaven. 

After this all hell literally breaks loose. Emma Watson thinks that they are all planning to rape her and steals their water. There is a giant demon chasing them. Jonah is raped by a demon in the middle of the night and then possessed. There is a failed exorcism. Channing Tatum ("I call him Tatum Taint-Yum!")is turned into a sex gimp. Cannibals show up. There is so much nonsense that happens but the entire time I was laughing. 

There are a lot of comedians and actors that are in this like Kevin Hart, Jason Siegel, Aziz Ansari, Mindy Kaling, Paul Rudd, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and of course The Backstreet Boys. If I had any complaint about this it would be I needed more Cera. Seriously, this guy has never been more entertaining than he was in this movie.
