I'm a huge fan of everyone who appears in this flick and I thoroughly enjoy almost every Apatown-related production. My favourites include; ANCHORMAN, 40 YEAR-OLD VIRGIN, KNOCKED UP, SUPERBAD, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL, GET HIM TO THE Greek and THIS IS 40. I'm a former Video Shop Manager who currently works as a Cinema Manager and who dreams of becoming a Comedian/Comedy Writer... so basically I'm a walking cliché. THIS IS THE END is yet-to-be-released in Australia but I was lucky enough to be treated to a private screening and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it... except for the last 60 corny seconds worth. I won't say precisely what I'm referring to because I don't want to spoil it. I'm sure you'll understand what I mean when the time comes. Apart from that, I must admit that I laughed heartily at least every few minutes, I jumped a few times, the gore is quite full-on and the effects are really quite good, particularly the De... errr... once again I don't want to spoil it, so I'll just say "Baddies". All I knew about the film beforehand was that the stars are "playing themselves", the world is coming to an end in some way and they're all trapped in James Franco's mansion. I'm glad I didn't watch a ludicrously long trailer or read a ridiculously long review prior to watching the film. You might want to consider that before reading any further :p
In my opinion, Oscar-nominated thespian Jonah "MONEYBALL" Hill and his SUPERBAD co-star Michael "George Michael" Cera are the real scene- stealers. Hill is the best "main character" and Cera is the best "cameo". I also have a "thing" for Emma "Hermoine Granger" Watson and I thoroughly enjoyed her little stint. Extra kudos also goes to Danny "EASTBOUND & DOWN" McBride for being the character you'll love to hate.
In closing, THIS IS THE END is an utterly unique treat and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who considers themselves to be a huge fan of any of the guys on the cover (or a mild fan of at least 2 of them) and/or anyone who enjoys the majority of the Apatown-related productions that I mentioned earlier.

Btw... GET HIM TO THE "Greek"... is excruciatingly frustrating! Every IMDb review I've ever done has had some sort of annoying glitch like that and there's nothing I can do about it! I tried re-typing it, holding down shift instead of using caps lock, putting it elsewhere in the list, writing it at the bottom of the page and cutting/pasting it. NOTHING WORKS!!! I'm a chilled-out and laid-back kinda guy... BUT IT REALLY GETS ON MY FLAMIN' BLOODY TITS! And I have high B's or low C's :D
