This is the end movie review

Cast: James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Danny Mcbride, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson
Director: Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg
Running time: 1 hour and 59 minutes
 This is the end is a movie with actors playing themselves(or a version of themselves),having fun at a party thrown by James Franco when the Apocalypse happens and hell is let loose.What are the six friends going to do in order to stay alive?
  The six guys that have the lead roles in the movie (Franco, Hill, Rogen, Baruchel, Mcbride, Robinson) are extremely likable.Even though i didn't like the film very much, the six protagonists were definitely a big plus.I think they are so good because they are everyday guys and they play off of each other very well.They have great chemistry.Moreover,there were some funny parts to the film and i laughed at times.So i did enjoy it a little bit.And i also really liked Baruchel's character because he was the one that i could relate to the most since he didn't live the "LA lifestyle",as he described it, and didn't really know all the famous actors in Franco's party.Finally,i thought that his friendship with Rogen was a great part of the movie and very interesting to watch.
  On the other hand,i did find some flaws to This is the end.Firstly, the movie was,essentially,a series of dick jokes.Although i don't mind dick jokes that much, i was really disappointed at how many there were during the movie.If there had been more funny bits to the film i wouldn't care about it but i felt that there was an extremely small amount of laughs,especially since the lead actors can be very funny.Furthermore, there were some references that i didn't get and i believe that if i knew what they were i would have had more fun with it.Maybe i haven't seen enough movies yet.Finally i didn't understand Emma Watson's character.It is not cameo because she is shown more than the other cameos but she doesn't have a role that brings anything to the movie.I think her character was a little bit useless and that she is in the movie mostly because she is Emma Watson.
  In conclusion, i had great expectations about this movie and they were not really met.If you like these guys go to watch them and maybe you will like it more than me.
Score: 55%
