Review of This Is the End (2013) by James S — 26 May 2014

My hesitations as to 'This is the End' were quickly dissolved upon watching this epic, comedy extravaganza. It is unique in the sense that the humor is continuous, and doesn't often revert back to clichy overused jokes.

This is perhaps unsurprising as a formidable cast of today's "funny men" is assembled. Each character interacts with and bounces off one another brilliantly, so as to create a very natural type of humour; something that I was very impressed with.

Jonah stands out particularly for me personally (alongside Michael Cera who was cracking me up at the start) although I would not question anyone's opinion. Despite the underlying story-line being basic, the overwhelming comedy and likable characters make this a joy to watch, rivaling Superbad in its humour and execution.
