Wow this movie was great. It delivered in a big way and in fact exceeded my expectations. And they were high (no pun intended, but sort of, I mean who doesn't like a good pun?).
Anywho, if you are a fan of Seth Rogen/Evan Goldberg written hilarity, dark humor, cameos, or apocalyptic films in general, I can guarantee this movie will satisfy. It is vulgar, gratuitous, deprecating, and all around hysterical. The fact that the main ensemble play caricatures of the real actors themselves is tickling enough, but they nail their publicly perceived idiosyncratic personalities perfectly. James Franco kills, Seth Rogen is excellent, Jonah Hill provides appropriate pretension, Jay Baruchel is great, Craig Robinson is hilarious as always, and Danny McBride is truly exceptional. And though certainly the male-driven bromantic comedy must certainly burn out at some point, this particular film puts a pretty tasty twist on said genre.
If you have not seen this flick yet, please do asap. It is a great theater viewing experience filled with action, severely ridiculous and quotable dialogue, copious drug use, and a large number of wonderfully placed amusing cameos. In short, this movie kicks ass and I would gladly see it again many times in the theater.
