Review of Rapture-Palooza (2013) by Spencer S — 17 Aug 2014

This is a funny movie. Not the funniest, but funny. Anna Kendrick's deadpan delivery works great with Craig Robertson's pimp/mogul/Anti-Christ. Having her and her boyfriend (John Francis Daley) deal with the end of the world with the same observations that a later-teen couple would deal with regular life problems (like explaining to God why they shot Jesus with a giant lazer the same way they would if they rear-ended his car) just works.

This is a lampoon of the silly, modern rapture mythology that treats it as seriously as the subject deserves. Many of those who think this subject should be treated more "deeply" would also say "The Leftovers" is too serious.

I laughed. Watch it.
