Storyline

All Jay Baruchel expected coming to LA was a fun time with Seth Rogen with all the wild partying to have both by themselves and at James Franco's housewarming party. 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 Kenneth Chisholm (kchishol@rogers.com)

The film was going to be shot in Los Angeles in order to make it easier for the celebrities who would be doing cameos. However, the location was changed to New Orleans in order to save money. The only celebrity cameo that was lost due to the location change was Cameron Diaz. See more »

Goofs

When the possessed Jonah Hill violently vomits on James Franco and Seth Rogen, the penis statue can clearly be seen intact. This is the same statue that Emma Watson beheaded earlier in the film. See more »

Celebrities and drugs are cool and funny
17 September 2014 | by (Australia) – See all my reviews

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.
