I saw the IMDb score, which was 5.3 and i was like 'Meh, ill give it a shot only because Anna was in the cast. At the beginning it was pretty lame and it started with the ending. If it didn't start with the ending it would be so much better, because it IS really UNPREDICTABLE WHAT THE holy molly WILL HAPPEN. I LAUGHED MY cheeks OFF. After about 30 minutes, the film became so funny, you just stay and be like what the old piece of bread will happen. I won't lie, it made me laugh to tears. Ye, it is а plain comedy, not a masterpiece, but a different style. Again, you just don't know what will happen. I had low expectations, and it just hit me in the face. Solid 10.

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.

With a mediocre title like "Rapture-Palooza" the film cannot be accused of false advertising. With the exception of Anna Kendrick, the cast is peopled with comedic actors of "There's-That-Guy-From- That-Thing"-level renown which is about the right level for the material. You get the gist from the title that the plot amounts to it's the end of days and hilarity ensues. Although some of the proceedings are decidedly not funny including John Michael Higgins being crushed by a falling meteorite as the family looks on, drug- addicts pestering survivors for a hit as they leave their house and the deity of about a billion true-believers being burned to death with a laser as he rides a unicorn. Craig Robinson plays the Antichrist borrowing lines and an outrageous skeeviness from dozens of stand-up comedy routines over the last 30 years. Counter- intuitively his recycled slease-oid is by default the most fully realized character among those not played by Kendrick. Rob Coddry, Ken Jeong, John Francis Daly and others in the cast could have rotated around their interchangeable characters during the filming with little loss of coherence. In particular, Daly could have been replaced with a sock puppet on Kendrick's left hand and it would have played very similarly. As the movie meanders towards its anti- religious? ending, Kendrick inc increasingly comes to dominate the screen-time and brings an earnestness that keeps the movie at least watchable if not entertaining. In short, many better apocalypse films exist - watch one of those.

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..
