This Is The End is silly and stupid. But then that's obviously the point. Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, James Franco among many others (including cameos from Emma Watson and Rihanna and Jason Segel) play themselves during the apocalypse. Self-referential and self-deprecating humour is occasionally used in a funny way - particularly the coke-addled Michael Cera scenes - but the entire religious/Satanic aspect is ridiculous to the point of suicidal tedium. Obviously these are just a few lines. To be honest I don't think its worth more than that. And I'm usually a sucker for post-modern approaches to cinema.Seriously though those Michael Cera bits are brilliant; they're just all in the first 25 minutes. Just watch the first 25 minutes.
