Well, I do. Superbad is amazing, Pineapple Express is awesome (which is defianly a stoner flick)! But the American humor in this is just too damn heavy. Over-filled with sex-jokes that fall to the ground so hard. And overall just really silly. It's almost Scary Movie 5 type of humor and I did not expect that from such talented guys.
I posted my a longer review with my points on IMDb, I'll link it when it's accepted so you can understand why I disliked it.
NO WAY! Scary Movie 5 was ridiculous... I turned it off after 10 minutes. OK man thanks, look forward to reading it, no spoilers I hope, if so I'll wait till I watch it.
Also watched Dead Poets Society last week. Good movie, I like Robin Williams.

I'm not comparing it to Scary Movie 5 of course, but just wanted to make my point on the silly humor and explicit sex talk.
Movie does have a few laugh-out-loud moments though. But yeah I'll post that review soon with no spoilers, I never do that.
Btw I love Robin Williams too! But only saw the first 15 minutes of that movie and then felt like watching something else lol.

[MENTION=62093]Kuzz[/MENTION] here's the full review, just click the spoiler (no, there isn't a spoiler in the review hah. Unless you count it as a spoiler if I say "they talk about mastrubation in the movie" but I would say it isn't)
here: SPOILERTHIS IS THE END REVIEW
First off, I'm not just someone who is negative for the sake of negativity. My review is not based purely on my personal view on this, but also the movies content and overall comedic effect from a neutral point of view.
'This Is the End' has a lot of great potential to be comedy of the year. The cast and the overall idea for the movie are screaming 'success' at your face! But you should never leave a big bag of money in the hands of two silly and "stupid" first-time directors. Granted, they're good script- writers and generally have track of what's funny and what is not - but the question is whether they can control the fun? NO is the answer, unfortunately.
I will admit that it started out good and I thought that if it just continues to build it from there it can only be good. I was, however, horribly wrong.
The film is crowded with stupid overly silly over-the-top sexually explicit scenes, which also run longer than what I thought was ever possible in a movie. There is several over-long almost boring scenes where adults talk about semen, masturbation and rape in very immature ways. Things which are not even funny at the first sentence, is driven out to a three or five minute long scene. How do people find this funny? Well, Americans will hate me for this and probably stop reading after this, but 'typical stupid sex-filled American humor' is what it is.
The film did have its highs but most defiantly also its lows. I laughed a lot about four or five times but that was it. The idea was great though but unfortunately not executed well at all.
I eagerly await the British competitor, 'The World's End', which will defiantly (or at least hopefully) be a lot funnier than this mess.

If you are high as fuck it could very well be comedy of the year.
But I mean, if you have to get high for a movie to be funny, it's a bad movie. I laughed out loud at Pineapple Express even though it's a smoker movie -and I wasn't high.
