Suddenly, the Rapture hits and the Biblical Apocalypse has begun. Now, Jay and Seth are desperately sheltering in James' house for rescue along with a few other friends. Together, they must band together to attempt to survive the end of the world, only for Jay to find that they are all too dumb and superficial to do it until they discover the only way out. Written by

This Is the End (2013) is a sublime post modern comedy in which all of your favourite celebrities, portraying and portrayed by themselves, do cool and funny drugs and have hysterical hours-long scatological arguments while an apocalypse happens in the background.
I was relieved that this film barely focused on the boring premise of real life celebrities enduring a comedic apocalypse. Rather than make use of this premise for wacky and creative shenanigans, this film averts our expectations by being another fantastic Seth Rogen stoner comedy, like every single other film he has ever written.
Drugs are really cool and funny and This Is the End spares all of its running time to remind us that drugs are cool and funny, frequently featuring its celebrity main characters engaging in the recreational usage of drugs, because using drugs is really cool and funny. The celebrities themselves are also really cool and funny, and them doing drugs makes them even cooler and funnier, making This Is the End the coolest and funniest film ever made.
