This Is The End

One of the funniest movies of the past few years: Laugh out loud, ridiculous fun.
With the amount of talent this has lined up, it would be strange if it was not a good time at the movies. Based on a short film called Jay & Seth vs. the Apocalypse, this movie ups the ante in every sense of the word. The comedy you have come to expect from Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson, James Franco, Jonah Hill, and Danny McBride is top notch. The rest of the cast, all playing themselves, is also played perfectly.

James Franco is having a Hollywood house party. His house is full of actors that you'd expect to see in a Seth Rogen film, along with some surprises. In what initially looks like another stoner movie about...well getting stoned...things get really crazy when the ground opens up and literally all Hell breaks loose. The 6 guys on the cover of the promo on this product page are left in Franco's house, and must figure out if there is a way out of the apocalypse,...
