I really like Jay, he's strangely attractive, for a Canadian :shifty: I didn't know the Black guy though.
He's from the American Office and Pineapple Express, among others. Seth Rogen style movies. :)

I don't think that's the case so much with release dates these days, and they're all very well known here, maybe people just forget certain actors or don't watch as many new films. Jay Baruchel certainly was in loads of films lately, some of which we had previews for (Goon, She's Out of My League, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Cosmopolis, Fanboys, and obviously voiced the kid in How to Train Your Dragon...), and some might remember Craig Robinson from Hot Tub Time Machine too.


I've also just realised this is based on the short film from a few years ago called Jay and Seth vs. The Apocalypse.

Well, what can I say that has not already been said . . . I don't think I was the target audience that the film was aimed at! :p
I think a young audience with a fair number of males (sexist?) would find this type of humour right up their street.
I did like the background story of the relationships and how they were all leading different lives but were still clinging to something in their past. I like the idea of redemption as it definitely fits with Christian ideas but . . . I didn't like the gross scenes of blood . . . I know it was supposed to be exaggerated/funny but I didn't find it so at those parts . . . more like repulsed! :X [spoiler]I must admit I thought that I thought the film would end with it all being a dream given the picture of the "devil" in the bible was what we got![/spoiler]
Overall, it was an ok way to spend an evening but glad I didn't have to p*y! o/
I think my son would have really enjoyed it . . . :rolleyes:

Can anyone remember the website given at the beginning that said you could win a PS3 for reviewing the film? I'll link to my review here too once it's done.
Check out my film blog: http://www.awesomefilm.wordpress.com

http://www.reviewtheend.com but it redirects to a tab on their facebook page. :)

EDIT: Doesn't seem to be working properly though. Anyone else done it successfully?

You need to press the "review this bitch" button. Just tried. Works fine.
