This is the End

[DACrowe]

Anytime McBride and Franco were onscreen together the movie was golden. Their final scene and that cameo. Yeah. Wow.

I am not sure if it has a lot of rewatch value, but I laughed.

There's a fair amount of actual story to enjoy.

The real question is not so much if it will be watchable, but if it will make a lick of sense if someone happens across it in 20 years.

It's almost like, and I hate to make the comparison, if the Rat Pack or some of the SNL cast from back in the day all did a movie where they just played each other and we watched it today. We kind of get how their personas were back then and some of the inside jokes would make sense if we looked them up.

The guys from Cinema Blend came up with this:

 

[Rock Sexton]

Don't get me wrong, it has it's moment. The Franco/McBride argument. A certain cameo by someone all the ladies swoon over (yet so wrong at the same time). The whole Michael Cera thing in the beginning. Not to mention the special effects were surprisingly really good.

But at the end of the day, it was one giant sketch comedy that had me really bored in spots.

 

[Warhammer]

I loved this film. It is definitely the best comedy I've seen in the theater since The Hangover. Absolutely hilarious and original. And I loved every single cameo.

That is a neat chart.

 

[Dr. Evil]

With the exceptions of Rihanna and Emma Watson

Spoiler

and Channing Tatum

all of the rest of the actors have worked together before in multiple films, so it goes beyond the six and all of them except the three have done Judd Apatow projects.

From The Wrap:

What an absolutely hilarious movie. I was actually surprised to see that Judd Apatow had nothing to do with this movie when the credits rolled. I could've sworn he was a producer or something. The [BLACKOUT]Channing Tatum[/BLACKOUT] cameo was absolutely hilarious, but the biggest laugh for me was the argument between Franco and McBride. McBride in particular was killing it the whole movie. And I thought the idea for Pineapple Express 2 was pretty good. I wouldn't mind seeing that come to fruition.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

funniest friggin movie I've seen all year, loved it. those guys killed this movie!

 

[A Necessary Evil]

This movie was hilarious. I'm so seeing it again soon.

 

[terry78]

When Franco confessed the reason he felt he didn't get raptured I lost it.

Judd Apatow may not be involved, but his influence is clearly there and so are many of his actors. Not all of them, but a whole lot of them (many of the ones who are close to Seth Rogen). Except for Lena Dunham and Aziz Ansari, he really hasn't churned out a new crop of actors recently though. So all of them are used to improvisation and not going by the script that was written (likely a new concept for Emma Watson and Rihanna).

 

[Drizzle]

When Franco confessed the reason he felt he didn't get raptured I lost it.

"She kept calling me Jake Gyllenhaal."

 

[LostSon88]

"I told her to call me the Prince of Persia."

 

[samsnee]

The argument between Franco and McBride over the magazine is hysterical. And I loved the hand gestures from both of them.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

And I loved the obvious foreshadowing of Franco's fate throughout the entire movie lmao.

 

[Hush]

This movie had me pissing myself I was laughing so hard. I'll see it again.

 

[Dave McFly]

finally seeing this Saturday I hate working second shift at work weekends are only time I see movies.

 

[samsnee]

I thought the ending was a little cheesy though. It relied too much on nostalgia and was reminisicent of 40-year-old virgin.

 

[redhawk23]

It was certainly based in nostalgia, but that's kind of the point. Jay reaches his final destination is told that anything he can make anything he wants appear. Pair that with the real world knowledge that the actor really started career in the late 90s and early 'aughts and first worked with Rogen around that time, its really all of a part with the rest of the film.

 

[redhawk23]

Whoa, I did not spot Martin Starr in this film.

Martin Starr should be cast in so many more things.

 

[Motown Marvel]

I was sick of laughing by the end of this movie. Hilarious.

 

[Octoberist]

This is the best movie of the Summer thus far. I'm serious.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I thought it was hilarious and very creative. I really dug the story and the relationships. I loved the 90's nostalgia at the end. Makes me feel old that the 90's have become a period though. Honestly I really enjoyed myself.
