This is the End or World's End?
12 years ago
General
Recently (like yesterday) I watched two possibly similarly themed movies that were (or are?) in theatres. These movies were "This is the End" with an "all star" cast and "The World's End" starring Simon Pegg. (Hot Fuzz, Run Fatboy Run, Shaun of the Dead)
First let me be clear and say I am not a Seth Rogan fan, I think he has success where he shouldn't but that doesn't mean I won't check out a movie of his for free. I am a Simon Pegg fan and anyone who has seen Hot Fuzz or Shaun of the Dead remembers the red headed guy in those movies.
I don't like to give too much away in movies since I think it's only fair you see it for yourself. This is just what I saw and thought of the movies.
This is the End
Lots and lots of well known actors in this movie but I'd only call one a star and that's James Franco. The rest in this movie could be considered funny or funny-ish depending on your own taste. It's got Seth Rogan in a lead role with Jay Burachel, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Michael Cera, Craig Robinson, and Emma Watson.
Everyone plays themselves so you know there is going to be a lot of silliness going on. Jay Burachel arrives in Los Angeles to hang out with his friend Seth Rogan and Seth convinces him to go with him James Franco's house for a party. Jay reluctantly goes and doesn't have a good time. In the process of the movie they experience "The End" with all the other "stars" as they go through a series of survivals.
The funniest part of this movie is Danny McBride who basically plays his Eastbound and Down character but with his real name. Everyone else was over the top and silly.
I think I laughed three times and twice was at Danny McBride.
The World's End
This movie is much different from the previous movie we just talked about. I won't give away what happens and why the title is what it is but suffice to say you find out pretty early on why the title is "The World's End"
Simon Pegg plays a loser who tries to relive his younger days goal of attending every pub in his home town in one night. Its dubbed "The Golden Mile" and he has to get his old friends back together including Nick Frost (Who you might remember as his best friend in Shaun of the Dead and his partner in Hot Fuzz) They are all really not into this even a little bit but they're conned into it a bit at first. When they arrive things seems a little off in their hometown and when all is exposed it turns into a crazy lark that Simon Pegg co-written movies tend to do.
I laughed more at this movie then the previous one only because I think the jokes were more inventive and the gags were not so obvious.
