This Is The End

Got a chance to see This Is The End last night, so here we go!
I heard about this movie last year, when it was still scheduled to come out at the end of 2012 and had a different working title. I read the premise of it, and was instantly sold, so I was slightly disappointed when I heard the release date had been pushed all the way back to Summer 2013. However, the wait was worth it. This movie was absolutely hilarious. The screening was full and I saw almost everyone laughing throughout the whole movie. All the stuff from the trailers was in there, along with more scenes that had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. It was so much fun seeing the cameos from various different actors and actresses. The dynamic between the leads was great, which is to be expected because all these guys are friends in real life. Parts of the movie were a little out there, which is to be expected because it's a movie about real actors (not characters) during the apocalypse. One of the funniest scenes includes an exchange between James Franco and Danny McBride that I'm still laughing about.

You can expect to see faces like Emma Watson, who is just fantastic, Rihanna, Michael Cera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse (there was a scene with Cera, Mintz-Plasse, and Hill all together, it was almost like a Superbad reunion), Aziz Ansari, Mindy Kaling, and other recognizable names I'll keep to myself because I don't want to spoil anything. I know as soon as this movie comes out, I'll hear a lot of my friends talking about it and quoting lines from it. This is the funniest movie I've seen so far this year. We will see if the title holds once I've seen The Hangover III which is the only movie I can think as a main contender.
This Is The End hits theaters nationwide on June 12th!

Rating:★★★★
Recommendation: If you want to laugh and don't mind a little absurdity, go see it in theaters!
