The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

The rapture is here. Lindsey Lewis (Anna Kendrick) and her boyfriend Ben House (John Francis Daley) are left behind. Her mother Ana Gasteyer) gets sent back. Along with her father (John Michael Higgins) and her brother Clark (Calum Worthy), they suffer through yelling locus, raining blood and wraiths. Her neighbor Mr. Murphy (Thomas Lennon) returns as a lawn mowing zombie. Politician Earl Gundy (Craig Robinson) takes over the White House and nukes people as the Beast. A meteorite destroys Ben and Lindsey's food cart and they have to join Ben's dad (Rob Corddry) working for the Beast. The Beast takes a liking to Lindsey and they have to come up with a plan to defeat him.The first half is bland. Kendrick and Daley being blasé about hell on earth isn't as funny as it sounds. I definitely would get rid of the creepy locus. It's super weird looking and sets the wrong tone for a comedy. It's not like this is a horror comedy so it needs to be gone. The second half is much better and has a few good laughs. Kendrick and Daley have a plan. They get to be sarcastic which is much better than the low energy not-caring characters in the first half. Tom Lennon is a lot of fun. Craig Robinson gets a bit rapey but once they come up with a plan, it's not that bad. I actually enjoyed the second half.

When I first heard of this movie, I was very intrigued by the idea and the cast. But I wasn't ready for the disappointment, that I was going to meet. The (poorly written) jokes almost never hit, which is the worst thing, that can happen for a comedy of this kind. The cast did, what they could do with the material, but it just wasn't enough. The awkward scenes between Robinson and Kendrick was just that: awkward. Not funny. And that is a shame, because these are actors, who normally make laugh pretty hard. The highpoint of the movie for me, was Rob Cordry and John Michael Higgins, who stood for a couple of laughs each. 2 stars for the cast, and 2 stars for the concept, is all that I can give.

The rapture has happened and Lindsey, her boyfriend Ben, and their families have been left behind, doomed to torture on Earth. A former politician, now known as The Beast, is the Anti-Christ. But when The Beast decides he wants to take Lindsey as his wife, Lindsey and Ben come up with a plan to defeat the Anti-Christ....If there ever was an example of a missed opportunity of a high concept movie, then this is the baby. After such a promising opening, the film just goes from bad to worse, as the script gets more inane, and the narrative becomes more desperate.Robinson is also a huge problem here. He obviously comes from the school of 'shouting and swearing makes a poor script more funnier', and even though he supposed to be bad, the makers didn't mean literally, he's truly awful.And what makes it worse is that whilst your watching this unfunny man try to channel comedians of a much higher calibre, you cannot help but wonder how someone like Eddie Murphy would have been in the role.The rest of the cast all appear to force every last drop of sincerity from the script, but it can't be saved, its a real pig of a film.Stick that on the DVD cover..
