This Is the End (2013) or, Hollywood Apocalypse

Hilarity-promising poster for Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's This Is the End

QUICK REVIEW:

Seth Rogen (Take This Waltz (2011)) receives his old, fellow Canadian friend Jay Baruchel (Knocked Up (2007)) in the LAX airport for catch-up and later a party at James Franco's (Palo Alto (2013)) house. But then it starts ... - the Apocalypse!

This Is the End is a crazy-funny apocalyptic stoner sci-fi meta-comedy with lots of memorable moments and lines, in which all the famous actors play outrageous versions of themselves. Funniest of them all, probably, are Craig Robinson (The Office (2005-13)) and Danny McBride (Pineapple Express (2008)).
At some point, though, debuting writer-directors Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen (The Interview (2014)) let their preferences for vulgarity, obscurity and just plain stoner-randomness get the best of them, so that some audiences will undoubtedly get enough.
This Is the End is mainly for people who are already familiar with the stars in it, as they play on their public images and many of the jokes rely on actor-familiarity. 
The Channing Tatum-scene raises some questions (...), and the SPOILER exorcism of Jonah Hill (especially the puking part) is a low-point for the film. I also didn't feel that I really needed to see SPOILER Seth Rogen piss himself in his face, or Backstreet Boys perform in Heaven.
Still, This Is the End wins on its personalities and many laughs.
