Movie Review: This Is The End

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Oddly Harry Flashman, who used to go by another name reminded me of this movie and the fact that I never got around to watching it. I can see how he was brought to the movie by the survivalism perspective but it’s still a little odd that he ended up watching this movie. One of those weird things like when Wifeys very elderly relative suddenly got a Facebook account.

Today I will be watching and doing a sort of review on This is the End a 2013 satire about a bunch of friends going through the end of the world together. 

Random Guy after Seth Rogan says he doesn’t want to go to Carls Junior because he is on a clense. “So you’re not drinking, your not smoking weed?”

Seth Rogan- “Oh no no I’m drinking and smoking weed. I’m on a cleanse I’m not psychotic.”

Then they eat Carls Junior.

I like where this show is going. The characters seem to act like, at least the satirized versions of, themselves. Obviously it is fake because it is a movie but it sort of makes things seem realistic.

The sheer amount of celebrity cameos in this movie are totally out of control. Many seem to be playing satirized versions of their selves which is big fun. Seriously I think instead of extras they just got on the phone and brought all their friends over.

It seems after the best cast party ever things start to go all end of the world.

This movie is a touch silly but should be fun.

Depending on the location and crowd a party would either be really convenient for the start of a disaster or terrible.

If you are into survivalism and can not lift your body up over an obstacle you are not prepared. Best work on that.

The Supply Scene is hilarious.
The guy from Eastbound and Down is here.

Emma Watson has a fire ax.

The group starts to turn on each other. Interesting personal dynamics often show up in stressful situations.

This movie gets pretty ridiculous. 

It seems to be some sort of a rapture scenario.

Then there was canibalism.

After a few days how are so many buildings on fire?

Overall impression: I paid 3 bucks to rent it on Amazon and it was worth the cost. I enjoyed it as a light and funny movie. I would say it is more of a ‘have a couple drinks and enjoy’ movie than the kind where you have a notebook to capture survival lessons but still enjoyable. A funny look at the end of the world is something I appreciated.
