re: This Is the End - People Need to Stop Hyping this Movie Up

Allow me to quote some people:
AGAIN, I'm not saying it wasn't funny, but I feel like people are giving false impressions of the movie and as a result guys like TheLankiestLawyer come out disappointed.
Plus, it's just not as good as you crazy bastards are saying it was. As OMLandshark said, 80% of it was improvised. Even if that number is off by 20% in either direction, it doesn't excuse the fact that the movie just wasn't well put together. Most of the scenes were one off scenes that didn't contribute much if anything to an already skeletal plotline. That doesn't mean the whole scene with Danny McBride and James Franco yelling at each other wasn't funny, or the scene with Michael Cera slapping Rihanna's arse and her absolutely slapping the shite out of him didn't get a laugh out of me, it just means people are hyping this movie up like they did the Hangover and people who haven't seen it yet are going to hate it.
As for you, Dr RC, if someone says classic comedies followed by "from Caddyshack to Caddyshack 2," you can pretty much bank on the fact that adding Caddyshack 2 behind Caddyshack is a goddamn joke.
Lacour, your opinion is so often disregarded on this board for a reason.
To all the rest of you who really loved this movie, I'm glad you did. If you think it was the best comedy in the past 3 years, fantastic. I think you're crazy. But I wasn't a Pineapple Express fan, either, so perhaps I should just give up on Seth Rogen's humor. That said, I did enjoy Superbad a lot. So who knows?
CSB/TL;DR
Plenty of people have claimed it to be one of the best comedies ever or in the past several years to warrant my admittedly slightly exaggerated characterization of people's opinions on the movie.
It was funny, but not so great that it will live up to the hype people are giving it.
frick you Dr RC and Lacour.
If you liked it, bully for you.

This is quite a bit better and more ambitious than the Hangover was. From a production standpoint, it's a miracle they were allowed to make this film. The studio was very vocal on the movie not being the actors playing themselves, but then you might as well not even do it since that's where the heart of the humor derives from.
Then you got the fact that they got all these guys together. Honestly, it's about as close as we're going to get to "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" at least for a while. Pretty much everyone they wanted to get, they got, as brief as it may have been. And they managed to do this pretty cheaply at $30 million, which including the effects makes it even more impressive. Compare this to an Adam Sandler film, which get like a budget of $80 million and no one on set clearly gives a shite. I think you have to respect that when you put such an all-star comedic cast together.

not really
the rest of your post was completely serious.
I don't know you. I don't know what you like.
I know people who think Norbit was one of the funniest movies ever.
So how am I supposed to tell you are being sarcastic when nothing else in your post would lead a person to believe that?
Sorry for peeing in your Cheerios brah.

But it is a pretty disjointed and poorly made film. It's mostly them just sitting around doing stupid shite.
Sooooo, you were expecting a comedy about the end of the world to be some sort of well written oscar winning film?
I've come to the conclusion that alot of you go into movies expecting WAY too much. As if you're critics that get paid to find flaws.
Spare me.
