The last few movie review I have done
were on some action packed movies. This review I am going to do will be talking
about the hilarious movie called "This is the End". I watched this movie about a month after it came
out when my friend rented it and had a whole bunch of people over to watch it
at his house. I had never heard of the movie when he told us about it but I had
nothing better to do that night so I came over just to hang. But, the moment
the moment the movie started, I knew the movie would be hilariously funny
because of the wide set of comedic actors that were introduced within the first
15 minutes of the movie. Jay Baruchel,
Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, and James Franco are
just a few of the famous comedic actors that play roles in the movie.
The story starts out with all of these famous actors getting together at a huge exclusive party at James Franco's house. The rest is pretty simple. Jay Baruchel comes to visit Seth Rogen in Los Angeles. The good friends have grown apart as Jay doesn't care for the LA lifestyle and Seth's new Tinseltown brahs. In an effort to bridge the gap, and encourage his two worlds to live in harmony, Seth brings Jay to a get-together at Franco's modern-art filled house in the hills. As we know, globally scaled mayhem ensues. The rest of the film finds the motley crew struggling to discover what went wrong and survive without losing the last, or only, vestiges of their humanity.
All of a sudden, the earth starts to shake and huge beams of light start to beam down from the sky and takes people up. These actors (not surprisingly) aren't beamed up and the evil Satan himself and his beast rise of the of the earth and cause chaos on all of the earth. The actors find themselves in Franco's house finding ways to survive by smoking dope and getting in many bro fights and make-ups. Heck, even Emma Watson shows up halfway in the movie to put in her comedic two cents!
The cause of
the apocalypse, which you may have already guessed but I won't tell you, may
throw some people off. There is an actual "message to the movie, which is
again, very simple. It is pretty much the lesson to not be a generic
"Hollywood d-bag" or a d-bag at all, so that apparently in the
future, you can be a BIG d-bag, for a really long time.
