Review of Rapture-Palooza (2013) by Jonathan R — 14 Sep 2013

Kind of a funny look at a post-apocalypse world in suburbia, although instead of the massive pain and death presented in "This Is The End", this is a much more pedestrian outing that almost looks more like if Canada invaded.

Anna Kendrick is sweetly sarcastic and funny as Lindsay, the potential bride of the antichrist, and John Francis Daley brings the dry humor he perfected on Bones as Sweets to the role of Lindsay's boyfriend Ben.

The pothead wraiths and demons are a bit one-note, but it's a very funny note so points for that. In fact, the only thing I didn't really like was Craig Robinson's beast, who was just so deliberately offensive with everything he said and did that I wanted to hit him.

...which is too bad, since Robinson himself can be quite funny (see "The Office" or "Hot Tub Time Machine" for proof). All told, the movie was good enough that I was happy with it and would definitely see it again.
