PLOT
Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson and other fictional versions of themselves are in the aftermath of a global apocalypse.

Seth and Jay are old buddies that haven't see each other for a long time. Jay arrives in LA but since James is having a party Seth suggests they go. Celebrity party with drinking, drugs, sex, and other hedonistic acts turns out a bit weird. Jay feels uncomfortable at the party so Rogen accompanies him to a convenience store for cigarettes but there a strangest thing happen. Beams of blue light from the sky suddenly carry away several store customers, there is all around panic and a large crack opens in the earth. What's going on? Guys go back to the house and try figure that out.

REVIEW
Apocalyptic comedy where half of the time you're like wtf. You're asking yourself how films like this get made but than again, it's so stupid you just watch it anyway. It's not clever, wicked or funny. Just raunchy jokes and many moments where you're in shocked by stupidity. Film dragged on and characters are not really likable. Cast members separately are good but all together are just no, no. Save your time and watch something else. 2/5
