It also has a very simple, yet not so dumb message. 'This is the End' contains a fair amount of satire on the posh world of show-business. Plus it's nice to see big Hollywood names not taking themselves too seriously. And it's amazing, because this atmosphere of good fun is passed to the audience. Be it playing soccer with a severed head, fighting over a Milky Way or filming the sequel to 'Pineapple Express' (hands down my favorite part of the movie) - it all seems to be pure fun to these guys. But what's more, it is fairly obvious that the whole crew had so much fun making this movie. The movie is rather a collection of gags with typical American humor, which is exactly what you would expect from anything created by the duo Seth Rogen-Evan Goldberg. I wouldn't say the plot is non-existent, but it certainly isn't developed enough to pay much attention to it. However, they are mere additions to the main course of 'Pineapple Express'-like buddy comedy featuring Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, James Franco, Jonah Hill and Craig Robinson. There are way too many cameos to include all of them in this review, but the most memorable ones are definitely Emma Watson (you need to see Hermione with an axe), Danny McBride and Michael Cera. It starts off rather inconspicuously - Jay Baruchel and Seth Rogen after spending a day on smoking weed and playing video games head to party at James Franco's new mansion. The concept of the movie is rather simple - have a bunch of celebrities fighting for their life during the Apocalypse. Biblical Apocalypse? Nuclear war? Hit of a meteor? No matter how, the way of surviving it in 'This is the End' is by far the best I've seen on-screen. I'm pretty sure everyone has their own vision of how the world is going to end.
