This Is the End Review: Seth Rogen's Movie Is "Absurdly Hilarious"

In Theaters: Now

Rating: ***/4

What's that? You want an absurdly hilarious, star-packed summer comedy? Done!

During an A-list party at James Franco's house, the apocalypse dawns. Celebs such as Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Emma Watson fight to survive.

As conditions worsen, the group unravels with biting wit. (Franco makes a sublime confession about one conquest.) And though the hijinks go on for 20 minutes too long, that gleeful final scene is . . . heavenly.

Check out a round up of what celebrities are tweeting about This Is the End below:
