This Is the End (2013)

Starring: Seth Rogan, Jay Baruchel , James Franco, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Jonah Hill
Director: Evan Goldberg, Seth Rogan

Premise:
The apocalypse comes to the world during a party at James Franco's house and a group of celebrity friends try to survive to outcome.

My Take:
I am a fan of celebrities who poke fun of themselves and their profession, and this group does it often and well. There are lots of horror homage and a crazy amount of splatter in this over the top comedy. And cameos galore from "young Hollywood" (most getting slaughtered). Not what I expected going into the movie but was a lot of fun.

Rating: Instant Classic
