Directors-Evan Goldberg & Seth Rogen
Length-107 min.
Rated-R
This uproarious comedic adventure follows the cast of Pineapple Express and Superbad as an outrageous turn of events lead to the end of the world. It all starts with a party at James Franco's house where main characters Seth Rogen, and Jay Baruchel from She's Out of My League and Knocked Up (all characters playing themselves), decide to venture to a drugstore for some cigarettes, when all hell breaks loose, literally. Michael Cera, from Juno and Youth in Revolt, plays a role you have never seen him in before, as the coked-out playboy who makes an offensive gesture in just about every one of his very few cameos within the film. As Hollywood turns to flames and a vast majority of our familiar faces decease, those left to fend for themselves are forced to survive in this post-apocalyptic world. The events that follow turn into pure absurdity as Danny McBride (Eastbound & Down) turns to cannibalism with a surprise face as his sex slave, and Jonah Hill (Moneyball) turns into a killer zombie; the craziness never ceases to exist in this film. Truly, this is a story of friendship and how it prevails over anything, even in light of end of life as we know it. I won't ruin the concluding scene for you, but for all you boy band lovers out there, it is quite a hysterical performance by one of the classics. For all its vulgarity, obscenity and just plain absurdity; this is a must see comedy.
