Film Review: This is The End (2013)
byFor fan’s of Goldberg and Rogan’s previous films, This is the End is plays out like the ultimate behind-the-scenes featurette. The silliness and fun that the cast seem to be having on the screen is palpable and the none-too-serious look at the end of the world is enjoyable from start to finish.
